It's now October which means Schlocktober and a Italian Masters Series. Where we take one of the Masters take a look at one of their most well known with a more obscure to see what makes an Italian Master.

And on this Schlocktober 1 Lindsay and Andrew Shaw, as they look at the guy who you think of when someone says Italian Horror Master Dairo Argento. With Argento's Stendhal Syndrome (1996) & Deep Red (1995).

This is a Double of Daria and Asia and the power dynamics, art in film and the dynamics of Giallo.
