I first got to know about Jay when he was at Anchor Bay in the 90s, coming up with all those ideas for the various tins and box sets that they became known for. Jay was an enthusiastic marketer and defender of the products he handled and I came to see this in person when Andy Starke and I moved our Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14732365894416185000noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552715900187995370.post-79557191367112606432018-11-21T08:59:00.000-08:002018-11-21T08:59:45.849-08:00Remembering José Ramón Larraz by Simon BirrellA few years ago we published this lovely remembrance of the great Spanish director José Ramón Larraz by film-maker Simon Birrell on the first anniversary of his death. At one point we removed this piece thinking that all or part of it might be recycled for our (then) upcoming Blu-ray release of his classic film SYMPTOMS.

If Mondo Macabro were a magazine, we might well be Diabolique.
During its original print run, this glossy zine was a challenging antidote to the far more conventional rags that otherwise filled in the shelves at bookstores across the country, like Fangoria, Rue Morgue, etc.
That is, when there actually were bookstores with shelves that displayed new issues of periodicals about horror films.

The restored version of Symptoms that Mondo Macabro are releasing in the US and the BFI are releasing in the UK is framed at the Academy ratio of 1.37:1.
This does not mean that the film was cropped or compromised in any way. This was the full image on the negative from which the restoration was made. The original framing was obviously chosen quite meticulously for a 1.37:1 composition.Jaredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14732365894416185000noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2552715900187995370.post-18713013909728712772016-03-30T12:23:00.000-07:002016-04-07T20:46:00.716-07:00Pre-Order the Limited Edition of SYMPTOMS now!
