About this listen

We’re closing out January Giallo with 5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas, a rare American Giallo homage shot on Super-8 on Long Island in 1996. Directed by Joseph F. Parda and starring Joe Zaso, this micro-budget slasher channels Argento and Bava with a black-gloved killer, stylized violence, and raw DIY energy. We dig into its history, shot-on-video survival, and why this hidden Giallo gem deserves more attention.
