(though I did see one in black and white and it was still creepy).Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-23917940041606213472016-09-26T14:57:03.375-04:002016-09-26T14:57:03.375-04:00Well, I'm glad you and I liked it.

I als...Well, I'm glad you and I liked it. LOL<br /><br />I also had a lot of heavy metal in my life as a youth (from peers, not because I liked it!) Who would've thought then that Ozzy Osborne would wind up the doddering comedic figure he later became on his reality show?! I don't believe I ever saw "Black Sunday," at least not in its entirety, but I bow to you and your extensive experience with all sorts of fringe movies, including others you mentioned. BTW, the Michelle Mercier section of "Black Sabbath" is purportedly the first Giallo to be filmed in color! Also, when I noted "Eye of the Beholder" as one of the movies Mark Damon produced, I somehow had it confused in my head as "Along Came a Spider" - totally unrelated. When I looked it up again after your remarks, I saw that I had seen it back in 2004 and left a User Comment on imdb.com! I had utterly forgotten about the movie in the meantime... Had I known you liked it so much, I'd have held onto the DVD instead of trading it in to Half Price Books a long while back.Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-27708320195025517422016-09-22T13:36:02.078-04:002016-09-22T13:36:02.078-04:00Loved loved loved this!

Didn't know that the band Black Sabbath took their name from something this entertaining (I suffered growing up in the 70's, as that kind of rock was prevalent where I lived and I hated it). I am a fan of Mario Bava and just adore Barbara Steele in "Black Sunday". She is gorgeous and demented in that. Susy Anderson in this film is a blond version of that type of feline beauty. I actually really like "Giallo" (but cringe at the obvious misogyny) because of the combo fashion/beauty/horror. "Blood and Black Lace" is very much a full feature similar to the section of this movie with Michele Mercier, it's about a Couture House where some not pretty things are happenig. There is also a Roger Vadim film called "Blood and Roses" in the same vein (get it?). A later Bava film called "The Bird With Crystal Plumage" used to scare the ring dings out of me when I was a child. My Dad let me watch it one night and it was nightmare city, but it's a very chic horror movie. Last but not least, the handsome actor Mark Damon directed one of my the most terrible movies in my hall of fame "Eye Of The Beholder" which I saw in the theater when it was released in 1999. Still kicking myself for letting a 99 cent VHS copy pass me by. Thanks for a Halloween preview Poseidon, I hope they have this on Netflix.Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.com
