    Thanks for that. The screen caps look on par with (maybe a bit better than) the quality of the SC print, which sports the title IL MOSTRUOSO DOTTOR CRIMEN.

    The description states it's subtitled in English, and it appears there are still some sellers offering it for a reasonable price. I already had gotten it from Sinister Cinema, and I figured their version probably was sufficient.

    After reading your review of THE LIVING COFFIN, I decided to make that tonight's viewing. This time around, I found it to be a fun little time waster. No classic as there are some pretty annoying plot devices (annoying sidekick, smart ass horse, Scooby Dooish goings on). Some moody moments were to be had though and it wasn't as dull as I'd recalled.

    Now if I need to revisit CURSE OF THE CRYING WOMAN.

    These make for excellent, and nostalgic, reading, Ian. Thanks for dusting them off.

    BCI's first set of "recent" Mexican horror flicks contained DON'T PANIC and several others:

    https://www.amazon.com/Crypt-Terror-...ies-tv&sr=1-11

    It was a pretty good sampling from the 80's and early 90's, I think. (The second set was actually stuff from the "Golden Era.") Maybe some of these will be among the group of titles VS releases?
