I can’t believe I got the chance to discuss one of my favorite late in the game giallo films, Too Beautiful to Die, on the Giallo of the Month Club! You can listen to it right here!
I had a blast talking about this film with host Dianne, as well as discussing why there aren’t that many gialli sequels, the two gialli trilogies (What Have You Done to Solange?/What Have They Done With Your Daughters?/Red Rings of Fear and Nothing Underneath/Too Beautiful to Die/Sotto il vestito niente – L’ultima sfilata), Joe D’Amato, how B&S About Movies and the Drive-In Asylum Double Feature got started, late 80s Italian horror and gialli, pro wrestling and so much more.
We talked about so much that I forgot to mention that Dario Piana came to the U.S. and eventually directed another sequel, the direct to video Lost Boys: The Thirst!
If I can get more people to watch this movie, I will have achieved my goal. Well, along with getting more people to watch Dial Help, Obsession: A Taste for Fear and Bizarre.
Thanks so much for having me on the show! It was really a goal of mine and I’m so excited to share!
Want more giallo recommendations? I have an entire Letterboxd list.
