Thrilled to share this amazing review of Il Colore Della Notte from 13horror.com! This film is a true labor of love, made for fans who are just as passionate about horror and giallo as I am. Creating this anthology with my wife @radical_violet , using just my phone and Super 8, has been an incredible journey. Seeing it resonate with true genre enthusiasts means the world to me. Huge thanks to 13Horror for the kind words!

This project was originally envisioned as a feature film with a longer version of @ilcoloredellanotte but due to budget constraints and challenges securing financing, we pivoted to an old-school, grassroots approach with @valagardoproductions —Indie by Blood.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. WE DID IT.
LA NOCHE LLEVA ESPUELAS.

We went back to Juárez to do something insane: make an ambitious feature with an incredible Mexican cast and a crew mostly from both sides of our border. Our hometown. Our movie. And lawwwd did Juárez make us EARN IT.

Historic rains, chaos, sleepless nights, near-disasters. We laughed, fought, screamed, adapted. Occasionally the monster came out of me. Mi dispiace! But we NEVER stopped. I wanted to prove the border has the talent, vision and fucking balls to make world-class cinema. And we DID.

Our cast, now family, led by Horacio García Rojas, with Ishbel Bautista, Aarón Alonso, Jorge A. Jiménez, Hoze Meléndez, Joshua Okamoto, Perla de la Rosa, Tulio Villavicencio, Guillermo Alonso, Hansel Ramirez, Raúl Adalid, Daniel Lozano and so many more talented actors from Juaritos, gave it EVERYTHING.

Special love to my wife Violeta Vaz, co-producer, my rock, my emotional backbone AND a badass in the trenches, putting out fires alongside my very own Mr. Wolf, the amazing Toño Meza. Couldn't have done it without you.

Daniel Gómez, my DP, producing partner and brother: thanks for rolling with the punches (especially from my crazy ass) and having my back even when you had no fucking clue where I was coming from. BRO, WE DID IT!

Aarón Alonso, our first ally on the border, partner and carnal: I always knew you had something unique. Goddamn did you prove it on screen!

Our local production team, led by Rafa Hernandez, Adan and Majo: you put everything into this madness. You were in the trenches with us. THANK YOU.

And EVERYONE in front of and behind that camera: you left a piece of yourselves in this film. I'll never forget it.

I'm editing now and can say it: WE FUCKING HAVE A MOVIE. Something special. One that'll change how people see border talent.
Was it easy? FUCK NO.
Would I do it again? I used to say, “Ask me after editing.” Now? FUCKIN A RIGHT I WOULD! AND I WILL.
Am I proud? YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA.

We went to war. Took some hits. Lost a few along the way.
BUT WE CAME BACK WITH THE MOVIE.
LA NOCHE LLEVA ESPUELAS.
Made on the border. Made by our people.
COMING FOR YOU.

VazFam Hoop Sessions are back!. 
After six months focused on the movie, unc finally came outside.

Back with my son Saulito and the boys. They brought fresh legs and young blood energy. I brought old head angles, hard screens, and blood in the paint.

Good times. Questionable cardio. A few buckets to remind them the chubby old man still has something left in the tank! taken in Los Angeles, California by @blakevaz

Goodbye, buddy. Thank you for your unconditional love. You were a wild one, just like your best friend. I’ve never met a dog with more personality than you.

I’m going to miss you more than I can say. I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you more in your final months. I hope you knew how much I loved you.

Nos esperas para cruzar juntos al Mictlán.

Goodbye, my friend. ❤️

Finally back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Blake Vaz presents:
MONDAY’S DEATH — La Morte del Lunedì
A curated death from a vintage giallo. Every Monday.

Today’s scene:
THE KILLER WORE GLOVES (1974)
LA MUERTE LLAMA A LAS 10
LE CALDE LABBRA DEL CARNEFICE
Directed by Juan Bosch

Why it matters: A Spanish-Italian giallo transplanted into the streets of London, Juan Bosch’s The Killer Wore Gloves turns mistaken identities, disappearances and murder into a maze of suspicion. Gillian Hills moves through a world where familiar faces can no longer be trusted and every answer seems to open the door to another threat.

A man returns who shouldn’t be there.
A murder opens the door to another.
And somewhere behind it all, a killer waits.

Is it a forgotten Euro-giallo curiosity… or one of Spanish horror’s more overlooked trips into black-gloved paranoia?

Death calls at ten.

MONDAY’S DEATH — La Morte del Lunedì
A curated death from a vintage giallo. Every Monday.

Today’s scene:
A DRAGONFLY FOR EACH CORPSE (1975)
UNA LIBÉLULA PARA CADA MUERTO
Directed by León Klimovsky

Why it matters: Spanish giallo trades Italy’s fashionable excess for something colder and more melancholic. Set against Madrid’s urban landscape, León Klimovsky builds a mystery steeped in paranoia, where black-gloved violence collides with the dark charisma of Paul Naschy, one of Spanish horror’s most enduring icons.

A killer leaves a signature.
A city drifts deeper into fear… or one of Spain’s most overlooked contributions to the giallo tradition?

Death arrives with delicate wings.
The dragonfly marks the body. The nightmare follows.

MONDAY’S DEATH — La Morte del Lunedì
A curated death from a vintage giallo. Every Monday.

Today’s scene:
FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET (1971)
4 MOSCHE DI VELLUTO GRIGIO
Directed by Il Capo Dario Argento

Why it matters: Paranoia becomes a waking nightmare. Dario Argento pushes giallo deeper into psychological territory, where reality fractures under the weight of guilt, obsession, and fear. Every shadow conceals a threat, every reflection distorts the truth, and violence arrives with the cruel inevitability of fate.

A witness becomes the hunted.
A murder wrapped in memory and illusion… or one of Argento’s most haunting fever dreams?

MONDAY’S DEATH — La Morte del Lunedì 
A curated death from a vintage giallo. Every Monday. 

Today’s scene: 
YOUR VICE IS A LOCKED ROOM AND ONLY I HAVE THE KEY (1972) 
IL TUO VIZIO È UNA STANZA CHIUSA E SOLO IO NE HO LA CHIAVE 
Directed by Sergio Martino 

Why it matters: Desire rots into cruelty inside a decaying countryside estate where sex, manipulation, and madness bleed together without restraint. Sergio Martino transforms domestic paranoia into gothic delirium — black gloves, shattered psychology, and violence erupting beneath layers of jealousy and obsession. 

Pleasure becomes punishment. 
A sadistic game of control… or one of giallo’s most decadent descents into madness?

A curated death from a vintage giallo. Every Monday.

Today’s scene:
THE FIFTH CORD (1971)
GIORNATA NERA PER L’ARIETE
Directed by Luigi Bazzoni

Why it matters: The black-gloved killer moves through modern spaces with cold precision — silence, glass, shadow, and violence reduced to ritual. Bazzoni turns murder into architectural dread, with Vittorio Storaro’s images giving every room the feeling of a trap waiting to close.

A glove marks the body.
A city of suspects… or one of giallo’s most elegant descents into paranoia?
