If I had a #nickel for every time I watched a #Giallo on #Tubi, where the #protagonist was KILLED OFF in the second act, I would have at least two nickels.

Maybe not a lot, but it's weird that it happened at LEAST twice, isn't it?

Was murdering off the character you spent TWO THIRDS of a movie following a common thing in #giallos?

I watched The #SergioMartino collection. All three films were fantastic!

The Case of the Scorpion's Tale is a big budget #Giallo.

Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key is an adaptation of Poe's The Black Cat. I have seen so many versions of this I was not really looking forward to it but it ended up being my favorite version so far.

The Suspicious Death of a minor was a #Poliziotteschi #Gialli hybrid. EXCELLENT STUFF!

The Killer Is One of Thirteen (1973) is a Spanish giallo or rather proto-giallo, these films being stylish decadent erotic thrillers rather than gorefests. Sadly this one has the decadence but it's slow, very unsexy and not stylish enough.

I finished my Carroll Baker collection. Consisting of the Lenzi/Baker movie box set and an additional movie that I purchased separately.

I knew nothing of Carroll Baker before watching these films but I am now absolutely a fan!

Most of the films were less #Giallo and more thriller which was somewhat disappointing but they were still great films.

Knife of Ice was probably my favorite. It had everything I look for in #Giallos.

Art-house meets giallo in Tinto Brass’s Deadly Sweet (1967). Has a Pop Art verging on psychedelia visual style. Imagine a giallo made as an homage to Blow-Up but in the style of a Guido Crepax comic. Quirky, witty and slightly perverse. Superb.

A Quiet Place To Kill (1970) is a superb stylish early-period Umberto Lenzi giallo. Lots of twisted emotional and erotic relationships that take deadly and unexpected turns. Carroll Baker is fantastic. I love pre-Argento giallos.

Filippo Walter Ratti’s Crazy Desires of a Murderer (1977) teases you as to whether it's going to be gothic horror or giallo. It has family secrets, a gothic castle, some creepiness, a dash of gore and a nice atmosphere of decadence. Enjoyable.

So Sweet...So Perverse (1969), an Umberto Lenzi giallo starring Carroll Baker. With delightfully twisted nasty plot twists coming thick and fast. You can't take anybody in this movie at face value. Decadence, betrayal and murder. Great stuff.

Midnight Lace is a 1960 Ross Hunter-produced US crime film set in London which gave Doris Day her last, and best, serious dramatic role. It's almost a proto-giallo, but with echoes of GASLIGHT. A top-notch mystery/suspense/psychological thriller.

The Italian-Spanish co-production MURDER MANSION (1972). Three people take refuge in a spooky house. There are rumours of vampires and witches. But is this a gothic horror movie or a giallo? It doesn't matter. It's crazy oddball and fun and looks good.
