Someone asked if there could be a forum dedicated to giallo's/gialli. As that's not possible how about we discuss giallo's/gialli in this thread. For those who don't know what they are:
Giallo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒallo], plural gialli) is an Italian 20th-century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language it refers to a genre similar to the French fantastique genre and includes elements of horror fiction and eroticism. The word "giallo" is Italian for "yellow" and stems from the origin of the genre in Italy as a series of cheap paperback mystery novels which all had trademark yellow covers.
To start off here are my favourites:
Tenebrae
Terror At The Opera
Deep Red
The Bird With The Crystal Plumage
Lizard In A Woman's Skin
Seven Notes In Black
The New York Ripper
Sleepless
Don't Torture A Duckling
Torso
The Black Belly Of The tarantula
Blood and Black Lace
A Bay Of Blood
The House With Laughing Windows
What Have They Done To Solange?
The Strange Case Of Mrs Wardh/Who's Next
Hatchet For The Honeymoon
Stage Fright
A Blade In The Dark
The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave
and though they aren't really gialli but are usually considered to be:
The Perfume of The Lady In Black
The Killer Nun
The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave
There's still quite a few I haven't seen anyone have any other recommendations or have any thoughts of this genre. I belive Masks (2011) is the most recent giallo are there any others?
