International Independent Video Store Day, Post #2
In Part 2, I talk about the video shops I used to service back when I was doing video duplication & conversion services, and you get to read both a new info rental sheet + full rental catalogue from the oddly titled Shop at Home Video Services, circa May, 1982. Also added: some updates / links to current Video Stations, and a proposed development for Skymark Plaza.
Black Glove Ballads: The Art of the Italian Giallo Soundtrack 1.0
Mark your calendars for my Black Museum lecture on the music composed for Italian’s beautifully insane crime / thriller / slasher / whodunnit / mystery genre, the giallo. On Thursday October 10th at 8pm at The Big Picture Cinemas, I’ll be discussing the artistry of several composers, including Carlo Rustichelli, Ennio Morricone, and Goblin. For some early contextual reading, I’ve uploaded reviews of some genre influences, including And Then There Were None (1945), The Cat and the Canary (1927), The Old Dark House (1932), and The Phantom (1931).
