The Creature Features transfer also turned up on a cheap DVD (I don't know if the Creature Features tape was cut - I used to have one - but the DVD version was certainly cut). The Fox DVD was one of the first R2 DVDs I bought (the Image release was from a 16mm print supplied by Avati's company - Image turned down their master of HOUSE OF THE LAUGHING WINDOWS until Fox Italy restored it - the Fox DVD comes from a Gaumont master). One thing I noticed about the Fox DVD is that the English and Italian tracks start immediately with the music. I seem to recall that the US tape releases start with the sound effect of typewriter keys before the music starts. Is that on the Lightning tape?Eric Cotenashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329284538465028566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21048905474250145.post-51098149407056647522011-01-09T22:33:14.988-05:002011-01-09T22:33:14.988-05:00This is awesome, Jayson.

What I love about Pupi Avati's stuff is that it is simultaneously classic Italian in its look while being something different in its story. He was one of the best (especially THE HOUSE WITH LAUGHING WINDOWS) at it. I need to see ZEDER again...it's been a really long time, but I do remember this cover art for it. Hilarious. <br /><br />Curious, have you seen "555"? My brother and I watched it the other night. A classic example of awesomely bad horror stuff from the dawn of the straight-to-video era.Kevin J.
