Kenneth Connor is actually reading The Second Pan Book of Horror Stories the front of which is pasted over with the fake cover of The Fiend of the Second Floor Flat.
I suppose the 'second floor' could be described as the 'second storey' so the title change isn't too far off the mark.

I suppose the 'second floor' could be described as the 'second storey' so the title change isn't too far off the mark. brilliant spot, that, black monk! A set from one of my all-time favourites, City Of The Dead (aka Horror Hotel in the US). Encouraged by tutor C. Lee, Nan Barlow takes her vacation at Whitewood village, Mass., to bone up on the history of witchcraft in New England. Whitewood was the scene of a witch-burning in March 1692, and the place still retains a creepy atmosphere thanks to Milton Subotsky's insistence that the dry ice machine be kept on full blast throughout. Warned to leave by the terrified local priest, and conspired against by the villagers who most of them roped in with the witch cult, too late Nan discovers that Mrs Newless, the grim landlady at the Ravens Inn and the executed witch Elizabeth Selwyn are one and the same entity. Further proof of how great this film is - as if any more were needed - a character named MAITLAND winds up with a flick-knife in his back. |

Sorry about the even worse than usual quality but this was a real smash and grab job, grabbed from streaming TV. It's from Eric Morcambe and Ernie Wise's guest appearance in, of all things, an episode of The Sweeney ( Hearts & Minds). Does anybody recognise what Ernie s reading? of course, it might just be something tricked up by the guys in the props dept but something tells me it isn't. Eric's reaction on learning the police are on the way to their dressing room is to tell Ernie to hide it which he rather hurriedly does, suggests it's a shade on the raunchy side. |

Well my eagle eyes tell me the title is Goodbye Emmanuelle, Dem, if that helps! |

Well deciphered, my lord! it seems there was indeed a paperback of Goodbye Emmanuelle but have yet to find a scan. meanwhile, a Fifth Pan Book Of Horror Stories interlude. Not sure if this has been mentioned elsewhere but the art teacher is caught reading a copy in the backroom in the film Unman , Wittering and Zigo. www.imdb.com/title/tt0067907/Excellent film btw that could be a Pan Horror itself ! KC Excellent spot KC! I've never seen this film & I don't think it's readily available on DVD which is a shame - it looks great and is written by Simon Raven (Doctors Wear Scarlet et al) & the music's by Michael J Lewis (Theatre of Blood) so I MUST find it!! (1971)  "Can't it wait? I've just got to a squishy bit in Basil Copper's The Spider." Watched a grainy print of this over weekend and have to agree with my crustacean colleague! It's John Ebony (David Hemmings)'s first day as a teacher at Chantry, a boy's private school, located at Llundudno, or as cynical art teacher Cary Farthingale (Tony Haygarth) would have it, "the arse end of nowhere." One lesson in, and the pupils of 5B casually inform him that they murdered his despised predecessor by throwing him off the cliff. Still, he and his attractive young wife Sylvia (Carolyn Seymour) will be fine just as long as he doesn't try to give them detention on Saturday afternoons. Ebony shares the story with Silvia (doesn't believe him: complains he's spending too many nights in the village pub), the Headmaster (keen to brush the matter under the carpet), and the disillusioned Cary Farthingale (open mind) but as the boys have provided rock solid alibi's for one another it seems there's little to be done unless he can identify the ringleader and extract a confession. His pupils get a little upset at his prying and decide Mr. Ebony needs a lesson ... |

Dear Mr Demoniac
Please help! I cannot read any pulp novels at present as I am trapped in a huge pile of DVDs that I have to watch to be free to read again. Last night I watched former video nasty Bloody Moon as part of a 40 film series 'The Best Of Jess Franco', my current idol. A young lady is reading a paperback during the course of this edifying motion picture that looked as though it could be Poe Must Die. I can't be sure because, as you know, my eyesight has deteriorated through no fault of my own. (Sort of). As the film is German/Spanish I 'm worried that I'm wide of the mark, so any help would be appreciated.
Yours in curiousity
F Marsh Esq.

That's a dangerous book to read. Can make you want to shoot pop icons.

I liked it more than Lady P but she doesn't have quite the Franco tolerance I have. What are the other 39 films Mr Marsh? I bet I've seen some of them! |

'fraid I can't do a screen grab as don't have a copy of Bloody Moon. Perhaps you can help, lord p. while you were delighting in mr. franco's corpse-heavy caper, did you happen to spot a character ogling a paperback with this cover? I'm truly sorry to hear about your deteriorating eyesight, my friend. |
