“I thought it was really a wig!”

Yeah boys! Our absolute favorite old school classic Italian horror movie. First saw this movie over a decade ago and it single handedly changed our perspective on not just classic horror but introduced us to the musical stylings of Bruno Nicolai.

This film should also serve as a PSA on what happens when you fuck around and find out, and what kind of fallout that creates. Better wise up cat.

The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Grave (1971)

Alan is a serial killer motivated by being royally fucked over by his ex-wife Evelyn who cheated like the dickens on him. Dickens lol!

Anyway, Evelyn passes away suddenly, unexpectedly and this drives Alan over the edge who begins bringing home similar looking women back to his Italian castle to kill the ever-loving shit out of them as a way to exact revenge that he could never obtain while Evelyn was alive.

(Though I feel like Alan may have killed Evelyn and still can’t quite get over it, I dunno somewhat of a mystery)

Alan begins seeing his ex wife’s ghost and eventually tries to calm himself down, and fly right by taking a new wife….LOL who looks like Evelyn.

Eventually Alan spergs out and finally ends up in the looney bin, which set the stage for a grand finale.

“Stop it! Put that whip down and put those boots on!”

This is fine Giallo, will always hold a special place my life due to all of the things it introduced to me, aside from Giallo, it was the music that got me here. I really love Bruno Nicolai and the like from this time.

The way this movie is filmed, and cut aways and zooms are handled are just like you'd see in a spaghetti western, but really amplify the mood here.

The mystery that plays out puts you in Clockwork Orange mode, where you end up feeling sympathy for the main antagonist and admire how sharply dressed he is. Definitely going to steal his cut one day soon as I’m no longer a fat piece of crap.

You must absolutely listen to the soundtrack of this film, here is a link below to get you started, Italian film scores are amazing and are much better suited for lounges when compared to modern drivel.

-FINAL WORD-

MRHELLBOX – Fuck I love this film, and its musical score. Real good, feel good story of a man pushed to his limits and struggling to maintain his sanity, while overcoming the odds! Seriously take the time to appreciate this movie, it’s one of the few that deserve to be called a “hidden gem”. – 5/5

DRUNKEN MASTER – Girl you know it’s true! Ohh ohh ohh, I’m gonna kill you! – 5/5

SCHLONG LONG – You got girls looking good all over in this piece like a buffet a CiCi’s pizza. I’d slap the old 9 iron to that bitch in the wheelchair over all of them though, hands down, ass up! – 5/5

PRINCE PECTORALS – We almost have MRHELLBOX out of self pity bitch boy mode, once that’s done the whole crew is going to get Alan’s exact wardrobe fitted on our bodies from Mount Olympus – 5/5
