Are you going to do special features on any of the following films ?
1. Dr Phibes and Dr Phibes Rises Again
2. Theatre of Blood
3. The Wicker Man
4. Straw Dogs
Thanks,
Bill Kelly
Retro responds: All good suggestions, Bill - but we're ahead of you. Issue #2 features an article by Caroline Munro on the making of the Dr. Phibes films starring Vincent Price. Issue #3 features an 18 page tribute to Sam Peckinpah (though it primarily focused on The Wild Bunch and Major Dundee). However, issue #10 has an insightful article called The Unseen Peckinpah which covers scenes from Straw Dogs that did not end up in the final cut. We hope to get to Theatre of Blood and The Wicker Man in due course. In fact, our columnist John Exshaw recently met with Christopher Lee in London and conducted what is probably the most in-depth interview about his films and career. As Christopher puts The Wicker Man near the top of his personal favorites, it's certain we'll be doing a feature on that film at some point in the future. Thanks for bringing up the film, Bill, as it gives us an excuse to recycle this gratuitous photo of Britt Ekland from the movie.
