The 88 Films Thread

Does anyone know why 88Films have put this picture on their FB site?

Do they have any Jackie Chan films in the pipeline, or is it just a 'gushing fan' picture?

It was the team-up of the century in 1990 when the Italian auteur of excess Dario Argento made this double-feature compendium creeper with DAWN OF THE DEAD helmer George Romero! The result brings together the very best of the United States independent sector with the kingpin of things giallo - giving us the much-loved splatter shocker TWO EVIL EYES! The latest in 88 Films Italian line, Romero's outstanding opening salvo offers us an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar", highlighting the sublime Scream Queen Adrienne Barbeau (THE FOG/ SWAMP THING) as a scheming widow seeking to exploit the estate of her terminally ill husband. Little does she know, however, that her husband is already ahead of the curve... and planning a little ghoulish vengeance of his own! For Dario Argento's Poe adaptation "The Black Cat", Harvey Keitel (RESERVOIR DOGS/ TAXI DRIVER) essays an eccentric photographer obsessed with death and dismay... although eventually his livelihood encourages him to embark on the ultimate crime. However, there is a super-sick sting in the tale that will leave the hapless camera-man literally hollowed-out from head to toe! We dare you to endure the gruesome and gruelling special effects of Tom Savini (DAY OF THE DEAD) and the provocative, spine-tingling soundtrack of Pino Donaggio (BODY DOUBLE) in this awe-inspiring frightener that is finally available to UK horror buffs in hair-raising HD...!!!

I think an in-joke is expanding. On the Grizzly release (and I think before), his name was misspelled as Dr Colin Waddell and has now been written that way intentionally on the Bad Dreams press release, so now they're probably just having fun and see if anyone spots the deliberate typo.

At time of writing, it seems that Zavvi has got a sale of 88Films Blu-Rays and DVD's

It's also possible that 88Films have got ''Nightmare Sisters' lined up for release, because this picture recently appeared on their FB page

Is.that a branch of something else in the poster because it looks suspiciously like something else.
