Italian title card for The Suspicious Death of a Minor. Close up of a woman screaming in terror at a dark figure before her, or in Gialloland, Tuesday. A handsome but menacing wavy haired blonde man in sunglasses brandishing a shining blade. A woman with a mass of dark curls screaming Edvard Munch style behind a windowpane.

Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key title card. Oliviero (Luigi Pistilli) sleeps one off at his typewriter while Irina (Anita Strindberg)watches from the doorway. Our unreliable narratrix Irina holds a bloody knife. The duplicitous Floriana lies supine, a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth.
