musanteI just got the news that actor Tony Musante – best known to horror fans as amateur sleuth Sam Dalmas from Argento’s debut feature THE BIRD WITH THE CRYSTAL PLUMAGE – died on November 26th buying generic cialis mexico rx after an oral surgery mishap. He was 77 years old.

Almost simultaneously, I received an email from giallo obsessives Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet (AMER, THE STRANGE COLOUR OF YOUR BODY’S TEARS) containing a link to a new Argento mashup they made for France’s ARTE TV, in which Musante makes an appearance. Even using images so familiar as Argento’s back-catalogue can still contain a few surprises when edited together so masterfully. Check it out below.
