SHAM004 - Torso

I like that cover, it's much better than the one that was eventually used.

And you never thought of putting it in an envelope and shoving it through my front door? I feel so left out!

I own two copies of Torso, the original and re-release (bought for the different artwork) and I still like the original cover that wasn't used.

Yeah the bin got it all along with some interesting notions I had which are probably best in there! No one liked the Shameless concept to begin with - sales companies, retailers and actually a lot of resistance from UK horror fans initially - the overriding feeling was what's the point - it'll suck.

I'll be honest I remember browsing for more mainstream horror titles on Amazon about 18 months ago and being slightly put off by the rather garish looking Torso cover! How times have changed!

I picked up a copy of this today. I think i'll use the reerse cover instead.

This image definitely is the better bet isn't it? Truly a glorious design.

Yeah, I'm glad I held off from buying this one as the re-release cover looks fantastic.

Now, all we need is a new cover for Killer Nun!

I bought it when it was first released and then double dipped due to the new artwork, so I have two copies of Torso and Oasis of Fear, plus the three titles in Fulci's Box of Terror which I also bought individually before it was released.

I already had two copies of Torso (AWE, X-Rated Kult Hardbox) before I bought the Shameless release, so thought quadruple dipping might have been a bit too much!
