The episode coming out on 8/20 - but I found something that may prepare those who aren't familiar with the "giallo" genre for the episode...

The random giallo generator!

OMG - it's hilarious!!!

For those who don't know, "Giallo" is what Americans call a genre of Italian thriller/slasher films from the 1960s onward. The name comes from the fact that these movies were often based on crime novels, which were printed with distinctive yellow (or "giallo") covers.

Giallo novels were basically "pulps".

Representative films include "Blood on Black Lace", "The Bird with the Crystal Plumage", "Don't Torture a Duckling" and "Deep Red".

So yes - the titles can be very ... abstract.

It's brilliant. I happened across it while researching the cover, and played with it for a while.

Oh my goodness - did you point me at it, and I totally forgot?
I've been having that sort of week...

Thanx!
I love playing with words and titles.

This particular title - When Yellow Casts a Crimson Shadow - is a pun on several levels, and I am truly pleased with it.

If anyone's interested, I've posted some notes on the construction of this cover, including the attributions for Creative Commons licenced photography here, and a "clean" version of the artwork.

Brett I gotta say, I think this is the best cover you've yet done for Julie.
