LOL! Me too. Except I got them at Makro. £1.99 each plus VAT if memory
serves. Good old Avatar!

A superb film! How can you not like the cop VS gangster scene in the toilet?
When I first saw this I laughed so hard I sustained a nosebleed. The film
also features some of the best dialogue I've ever seen in a low budget
outing. It also taught me to mix in raisins with my "Hooch" for roughage.

In the early days of alt.horror, James Lorinz was something of a cult
figure round here, and his turn as the doorman -turned-Godfather ("KISS
MY RING") oft quoted.

You've intrigued me, this was 1987 - what was the "MAGIC" that followed?

Splendid - in fact magic was all around you. I too first encountered
TENEBRAE and INFERNO as dodgy copies. TENEBRAE had a DIY dubbing job done to
it which left the entire dénouement spoken in Italian.

well i liked it!

it was one of the first horror videos i bought in the great hmv video
clearout - alongside demons 1 and 2 plus stagefright.

IT WAS THE START OF THE MAGIC!

the film is funny, gory and has that classic line ' Honey, i ain't sure you
don't got a cock'

He was wonderful in this and Frankenhooker. His career never exactly took
off, though.

The first time I saw it was a rental from Blockbuster. What a blast.

The second time I saw it was a few months later, on Cinemax in the afternoon,
totally uncut.

How times have changed.

Gary, was the old Avatar tape cut?

I haven't seen it since those TROUBLED TIMES.

My first encounter with Tenebre was a copy of an Italian tape
belonging to a guy I knew from Birtley, with no subs or dubbing. I
didn't have a clue what was being said, but damn did it look good.

I don't recall it being cut. It was certainly gory as hell for the
time of its release.

My first encounter with Argento was when SUSPIRIA played in American
theatres. I remember thinking how different and wonderful it was. I was
already a horror freak by that time, but Argento was different, very
different, than other films of the time.
