Il Rosso segno della follia (Hatchet for the Honeymoon)

I'm currently making my way through Tim Lucas' fantastic Mario Bava All the Colors of the Dark 

and while I'm reading the chapters I rewatch the corresponding film. Last weekend I got to Il Rosso segno della follia. I know the film has got it's fair share of detractors, but I really like it. I think the role of John Harrington suits Stephen Forsyth well and Dagmar Lassander looks a lovely as ever (even though she's not given that much to do). Make sure you pick up the R2 Koch DVD if you haven't already done so. It looks way better than the R1 Image DVD.

Poster art by Ercole Brini.

5 bambole per la luna d'agosto (Five Dolls for an August Moon)

I don't have many Mario Bava posters since they tend to be very expensive, but I just had to have this 5 bambole per la luna d'agosto locandina. It's very difficult to resist a poster that prominently features Edwige Fenech in a bikini.

Update 090111: Added the beautiful alternate locandina with artwork by Rodolfo Gasparri.
