Yellow? Really? I know yellow is a bit of a psycho colour but to call a genre yellow? Back to Plat's OP, I dont think I've seen any Italian euro trash horror films. What do you recommend? You have to know your history to get that. It comes from back in the 1930s, when retailers in Italian stores published a wide range of lurid, graphic and sexy murder-mystery thrillers that often involved deception, misinformation, sleazy characters and more wrapped up in a crime wave taking place throughout the story. The term comes from the fact that the cover art for these particular novels was colored bright yellow, which to Italians means 'fear' or 'shock' so the translation for the color is "Giallo" the Italian word for yellow. When Mario Bava first started working on the genre back in the 60s with 'Blood and Black Lace' he used a lot of aspects from those novels in the film and the reviews at the time picked up on the trend and remarked that the film was remarkably similar to the 'giallo-novels of yesteryear' but got shortened to just Giallo when it sparked a movement including Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Torso, Your Sweet Body to Kill and What Have You Done to Solange? so it became retro-fitted onto that whole movement. As for some of my favorites: Tenebre Bay of Blood Blood and Black Lace The New York Ripper Deep Red The Bird with the Crystal Plumage The Killer Must Kill Again Torso What Have You Done to Solange? Who Saw Her Die?
	Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup? Some people are like slinkies: not good for anything, but you can't help but laugh when one falls down the stairs. My review blog: http://donshorrormovieblog.blogspot.com/
