I forgot I'd got that book Vin.Not a bad read though I'd also love the series on dvd.Though it would probably be a rights issue minefield !.

Ross (aka The Ego Has Landed) insists on including photos of himself with the likes of Russ Meyer & Herschell Gordon Lewis, and his supposed knowledge of films isn't quite as knowledgeable as he believes it to be. According to him the last Hammer Frankenstein was the 1973 Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed set in an asylum (actually Frankenstein And The Monster From Hell), The Wicker Man was made in 1976 (it was 1973), and Susan Sarandon played the deaf runaway in Psych-Out (it was Susan Strasberg).

However apart from these glaring errors and ego-trips it's quite an enjoyable read and worth 50p of anyone's money (even Cloud's).

Can anyone tell me if the Dark Side books Cannibal and Blood and Black Lace are worth buying?

"Blood & Black Lace" is great as a reference book, good mini plot synopsis' for nearly every giallo/gialli you can think of without any spoilers, but the guide to availability is very outdated mainly detailing video availability and be careful with the pages as a few fell out at the front within a week of me buying it a couple of years ago, well worth but i would be reluctant to pay the full price on amazon though.

Thanks i may buy it now.

DarkSide's Blood And Black Lace gets a huge thumbs up from me too. It's by far their best book imo and a great reference point for all thoise delicious Gialli yet to be released.

An updated ( hardback? ) version would be nice.

Darksides Blood and Black Lace is a fabulous book and has lots of the Shameless titles in it!!

Recieved 'Seduction of the Gullible' from kind Mr. Postman today! It's a brilliant book - with the most indepth history of the video nasties I think I've ever seen. Yes, I do luv it!
