"Blood & Black Lace" is one of my favorites; it's worth viewing for the wigs alone! I love Mario Bava! “Blood & Black Lace” is one of my favorites; it’s worth viewing for the wigs alone!

I nearly mentioned the film above since Diabolik may well have been modelled after Losey's version which is yet another slice of Sixties camp. Terence is certainly an icon for me, at least in his early days. Very cute in Billy Budd and dashingly erotic in Pasolini's Teorema where he seduces an entire family, father and son included.

Always liked Les Yeux sans Visage and I've seen a clip from Judex which features a masked ball that looks like a Max Ernst picture with all the guests wearing bird masks.

It is easy to find the original and I've never been too fond of remakes in general, but I always thought Franju could maybe remake an old classic as well as Carpenter did with 'The Thing'.
