Four Our German-Speaking Visitors

Here is a link to an article about Mario Bava by Hans Schmid (the author of FENSTER SUM TOD: DER RAUM IM HORRORFILM -- a book about outer space in horror cinema), featured in today's edition of the German media/culture online publication Telepolis. The article will be continued tomorrow in an installment focusing on the current German ban on IM BLUTRAUSCH DES SATANS, the German version of BAY OF BLOOD, which will either be renewed or dropped in about six weeks from now, on the 25th anniversary of its instatement. But this first installment, which runs several interesting pages, mentions MARIO BAVA ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK and its author quite a bit; indeed, Hans writes that it calls the ATCOTD "THE best film book of 2007 and one of the most beautiful film books of all time."

I'm most appreciative.
