Apologies not posting picks, comments were up and then vanishing on the night, Craig had the same issue. I went with Don't Torture A Duckling (my...extra pick for Fulci breaking rules) Delirium - 1987, there's a few with that title What Have You Done To Solange? The Suspicious Death Of A Minor Your Vice Is A Locked Room And Only I Have The Key. The Night Evelyn Came Out Of THe Grave BUT my other picks that were nicked.... The Strange Vice Of Mrs Wardh The Case of the Scorpion's Tail (and I added All The Colours Of The Dark in quickly as Martino did 6 gialli and I adore 5)

1. The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh 2. The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail 3. Spasmo 4. The Black Belly of the Tarantula 5. The Case of the Bloody Iris

Love that line from Pete....."these are the really sleazy box sets.....I've got the first four" 😂

When I was 13 my Dad took me to see Peices in a theater in Middletown NY, he would tell my Mom that we were seeing the latest monster movie and take me to these types of movies. Looking back i think he just wanted to see movies with some T&A and he used my love of monster movies as his excuse for going to them😊

Fabulous (unintentional?) pun by Chris, describing the movie featuring Night Owl as the villain: “Stage Fright is a hoot!”

Finally a new episode. I still miss the weekly updates, as The Monsters Den is my favorite YT-Show

The best 4 guys! All star line up

Thanks for tuning in folks! And a special thanks, as Pete said at the end, to those who have come on over to my channel and helped me push past the first 1,000 subs - room for many more! (Hint, hint) - but most importantly...post your fave non-Argento, non-Bava movies!

It’s because of the wonderful “Monster’s Den” that I have a great interest in these films and thanks to this distinguished panel that I’ve been recommended such great movies, too numerous to mention. Thanks again fellas for your time and presence.

and here’s me thinking Giallo was the name of a director whenever you guys spoke about ‘Giallo movies’ 😂

Got up and watched this episode at 600am here in New Jersey. I’ve learned a ton, very entertaining, I’m unfamiliar with many of these movies,but you 4️⃣wet my whistle” to dig in deeper. Thx Craig/ KING/ Davy/ PETE 👍💯

Some cool picks by everyone. Usually there's one person I'm not quite in line with - not personal, it can be a different person each time - but this week? EVERYONE picked a fave!

Great crew 💪 love monsters den ! Pete your great dude !

Fantastic episode! I already own most of these movies thanx to this channel, but I’m going on the hunt for the rest of them😀

My top 5 favorite Italian giallo films include Monsters Den - favorite top 5 Italian niallo films: 1. Suspiria - Dario Argento, 2. Tenebre - Dario Argento, 3. Profondo Rosso - Dario Argento, 4. Blood and Black Lace - Mario Bava and 5. The House With Laughing Windows - Puppy Avati. Looking forward to the picks tonight. Hope one of my favorite bands, Goblin, is mentioned by the panel on some of the classic Argento films.

Edwige was in one more gialli after Strip Nude... she also appeared in Phantom of Death (1987). On the subject...did anyone else notice her cameo in Hostel 2??

My top 5 non bava/argento etc: (no particular order): 1: Torso, 2: Nightmare beach (great fun 1989 with an amazing soundtrack!), What have you done to Solange, Amsterdamned (me being dutch this is a fun one), Night School (staring the great Rachel Ward).

Edwige Fenech was absolutely stunning.

Very glad you guys left Argento, Fulci, and Bava out. It's better to hear about some of the lesser known ones. God knows there are a whole lot of them out there and it's useful to get some good recommendations.

my all-time fave giallo is Torso. also love Delirium (1972), The Case of the Bloody Iris & Strip Nude for Your Killer. an interesting one that i don't think was mentioned is French Sex Murders (1972). it features a Humphrey Bogart lookalike detective. it's a weird one.

The girl who knew too much, What have they done to your daughters?, The perfume of the lady in black, The pyjama girl case, Your vice is a locked room and only I have the key. Not an Italian film but The house that screamed from '70 totally feels like a giallo, the story is pretty much Suspiria in the 19th century.

Dear chaps, I am not a Giallo expert, however, while looking for a "Poirot with a twist" I stumbled across "The Bloodstained Butterfly" (Una farfalla con le ali insanguinate) from 1971. I do not know where this fits on the "Spectrum of Awesomeness" but I would like to mention a few observations (without giving away any spoilers): 1 - I would swear that the film of the killer "in action" had a different gender to the actual killer. 2 - Strangely a lot of the plot was moved forward through the court case. 3 - The killer confessed and I had to watch it again to try and understand it ("But there was...?" "But what about...?''') 4 - The cops did not do much. 5 - There was a running joke about the cops drinking coffee...which I just did not understand....was it comic relief? Interesting. The film stars Helmut Berger. I found this great quote about him "Except for Helmut Berger, there are no interesting women today." - Billy Wilder, referring to Berger's drag performance as Marlene Dietrich's The Blue Angel in The Damned By the way, I read that giallo ("yellow") derives from a series of crime-mystery pulp novels. If that is not true then it should be true. Keep up the good work chaps.

Spasmo by Umberto Lenzi. The Church by Michele Soavi. And an American Giallo ( I believe it is) Don't Look Now starring Donald Sutherland. The Night Evelyn Came out of the Grave. And a hidden gem by Fulci - The House of Clocks. Shudder has a Giallo category also.

Profondo Russo has such a "killer" soundtrack with Goblin...how funky are those guys! Wow! I know Goblin did the soundtrack for several films...they are relatively unknown it seems in the US.

Alejandro Amenabar's debut movie Tesis 1996 springs to mind, not sure if it' qualifies here but its bloody good.

Great episode I was especially pleased you chose top go with a deeper dive rather than having Argento and Bava dominating (great as they are) although I have 90% of the picks there were a couple I haven't seen so will be checking out. One I thought Pete would bring up but didn't make the cut is Puzzle which is well worth checking out for any Giallo fan.

Great picks gents. Shout out to four sleazy gems: Amuck, So Sweet So Dead, Nine Guests For A Crime and Red Rings of Fear.

I love Giallo films.

One that needs a North American release is Pupi Avati's House with the laughing windows another rare countryside giallo. As for Fulci, Perversion Story does not get talked about enough.

As good a way to spend an hour and a bit as watching most of these gialli. I bow to your superior knowledge when it comes to the picks but let me tell my Italian anecdote: Spent a fortnight railcarding Italy as a student around 1980 and kept seeing lots of cinemas with lurid posters and the word 'Oggi' pasted on. 'Hmm', we thought, 'must be kinda like Phwoar! indicating very spicy films indeed' (Davy will understand our confusion). Eventually the one of us with a phrase-book found out 'Oggi' means 'Today'. Luckily our choice was still well worthwhile with 2.7 metric tonnes of boobs.

My top 5 (without Bava, Argento or Fulci) would be 1.The Fifth Cord (1971,Luigi Bazzoni) 2.Short Night of Glass Dolls (1971,Aldo Lado) 3.Autopsy (1975,Armando Crispino) 4.Spasmo (1974,Umberto Lenzi) 5.The Case of the Scorpion's Tale (1971,Sergio Martino) A shout out to art house giallo Death Laid An Egg (1968,Giulio Questi), a truly bizarre film!

if yall were turtles jamie would be leonardo

From the giallo films that I have seen, I liked The New York Ripper (1982), Murder Rock (1984), Tenebrae (1982), A Bay of Blood (1971), and The House On The Edge Of The Park (1980). Great giallo films!

Huge fan of the Bava family. A Blade in the Dark should get more attention.

Titles in comments? I’m not seeing them..

I have got my list some i have seen some i have not.

A very interesting show, guys. Oh, Craig, thank you for the information about Tubi and the movies featured on it. I did see Who Saw Her Die? twice. I liked it quite a bit. Oh, and Lazenby does look different, especially with the hair. I might be in the minority, but I don't think he was a bad Bond and, On Her Majesty's Secret Service isn't the worst Bond film ever. I'm a major Bond fan and, in my opinion, Die Another Day is a strong contender for being one of the worst Bond films ever made (see last show's comments). 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chris pronounce Giallo very well.

Davy,the only official Django sequel with Franco Nero is Django Strikes Again.

Craig Kaminski...the least jaded of the bunch...

Would it be safe to say that Giallo films had influence on what we would come to know as "Soap Operas"?

I think The House of the Yellow Carpet is underrated, possibly because it is tame in blood and nudity. Then again I tend to think copious sex scenes marred many of these films.

looks like jamie forgot it was monster night 🤷‍♂

Craig Kaminski is the greatest.

Deep Red The House with Laughing Windows Tenebrae

Pete and Chris are interesting, the other two guys bore me to tears.

reintroduce the candle...
