Got a bit about, you know, knives in this brand new zine. And, there’s a piece in here on slashers, too. The coolest.

Join #FrightClub tonight as the open #TheVaultOfHorror

Fright Club @frightya.bsky.social · 7h

Join #FrightClub and post along Wednesday's feature, The Vault of Horror (1973), at 10:00 PM ET. Public domain film, available on YouTube.

You opened the wrong door. 🚪

Poster for The Vault of Horror (1973)
No "The" in the poster title, apart from a lead-in line, so we'll see what the title card says in the actual movie
Anyway it's a tomb with a giant crazy face trying to escape it, and assorted other characters, of reasonable proportions, scattered around area gravestones
We hope we're right about this being public domain; we looked really hard and couldn't find an active copyright

Note for tonight: if you aren’t watching from owned media sources and want an option besides Tubi, be sure to check your local library app. Kanopy, the one I use, has Suspiria so that’s how I’ll be watching.

Now was something. 😈

Thank you, sincerely. Thank you for joining us here at #GangDoesGiallo. I have wanted us to be able to watch this for a very long time. And so, tonight is a very special treat. I hope everyone had a great time with Argento, in full bloom. Ciao!

In these troubled times, this is one of those moments where I take pride in being an American. Took a spunky little gal from the States to bring down a 100-year-old German witch, hell yeah!

Is Italy really a country or just a very large film set where people who speak Italian occasionally go to movie slashers and westerns?
