Robert Bloch and Milton Subotsky may have helped to codify the Giallo in this murder thriller but the results are not up to even the shaky standards of Amicus. That said, horror fans are going to flock to get their hands on a big color & ‘scope release that’s gone missing for decades. It’s a significant ‘save’ by Kino Lorber.

While most people are quite familiar with Anjunabeats, the record label founded and operated by Above & Beyond, not everyone is aware of the smaller, sub-label, Anjunadeep. Started in 2005, the label focuses mostly on deep house music and boasts an impressive roster of artists, with names like Lane 8, Vincenzo, Jody Wisternoff, 16 Bit Lolitas and many more releasing music on a consistent basis that bears the Anjunadeep name.
With deep house exploding in popularity over the past year or so, Anjunadeep has also seen a significant increase in recognition. Now, to capitalize on this, the label has put together a North American tour, which kicks off on the 28th and will touch down in seven cities, including New York, Los Angeles and Toronto, among others.
Bringing with them the aforementioned artists, along with a few others (Martin Roth!), the label will give fans a chance to hear the best that they have...

Victoria and Albert Museum acquires diaries, scripts and photographs of British Oscar-winning actor
Although the world may remember her as the ravishing beauty who was once married to Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles knew the real worth of Vivien Leigh. When in 1951 she won the Oscar for her performance as Blanche DuBois in the film of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire, the legendary actor and director immediately sent a telegram from Monte Carlo: "Of course they gave it to you they had to love and kisses from Orson".
His telegram is preserved as part of an archive acquired by the V&A museum covering her life and work, from her teen years to her death from tuberculosis in 1967 aged just 53. It includes diaries, scrap books, heavily annotated scripts, photographs including hundreds of rare early colour photographs she took herself while on tour, and thousands of letters to an extraordinarily...

An original pair made for The Wizard of Oz is being lent to show on Hollywood costume but has to be home for Thanksgiving
The ruby slippers that danced Dorothy down the yellow brick road in The Wizard of Oz are leaving the Us for the first time, to sparkle in the V&A's major exhibition on Hollywood costume. However, they have to be home for Thanksgiving.
Since Judy Garland wore them in the 1939 movie – a tale of kindness, courage and magic in hard times which touched the hearts of the nation and generations since – the slippers have become some of the most famous shoes ever created, copied in every fancy dress store, available in every size from small girl's dream to big foot transvestite.
The shoes are coming to London on loan from the Smithsonian in Washington, the first time they have ever left the States, but they are...
