Actually you'd be surprised how football gives you a pretty good knowledge of places and countries. (Clearly not flags though )

We have two zombie shockers to begin with followed by a pair of giallo thrillers and one ex-nasty! (We'll confirm these in due time!)



We are discussing our crowd funder this morning as we finally got a figure from the Italian licensor for the new Zombi Holocaust transfer - so stay tuned and please show your support!

Curious why you went with the thinner cases for the Slasher Collection. I'm happy you did though, I've never really been a fan of the thicker ones (us and the Australians just had to be different than everyone else lol).

I know it's quite boring but, in terms of sport, Italy normally plays in blue jerseys/shirts, or sometimes white (the other, in their flag, with red and green already taken), so what about one of those?

It's a shame that High Rising's giallo feature is exclusive to Synapse's Tenebrae release, now that 88 Films is releasing a couple of giallo it would have been perfect. I'd much rather have seen that than Scream Queens. Like a few in the UK, I'm not about to shell out for another Tenebrae release on BD, especially when the previous was so great.

If I am not mistaken there are no English subtitles on your releases. Tell me please, what are you going to do with these upcoming Italian movies, especially giallos? Only English dubs or English dubs and Italian audio with English subtitles?

Often the reason there only English dubs on Italian releases is down to the contract from the licensor I am afraid. That part is out of most label's control.

Subs and Italian soundtracks don't seem to be an issue for Arrow, Blue Underground, Raro, Shameless, Mondo Macabro, Synapse etc so i'm sure you'll have no problems getting them.

Perhaps the titles, whatever they might be, have Italian tracks, but need to have subtitles translated, which all costs money. Or perhaps the owners will only supply a version with a dubbed English track. You never know. We just have to wait and see. There have been releases from other companies released with only dubbed soundtracks. The new movie only editions of Demons from Synapse comes to mind.

Most include Italian audio nowadays, and that's how I watch Italian films.

That's just to make the limited editions seem more worth it, a better example would be Arrow contractually unable to include Italian audio for Sleepless.
