Paganini Horror (Luigi Cozzi, 1989)

Known as the Devil's violinist, Paganini was so evil that he used something really unconventional to string his violin, and it wasn't spaghetti. How can a late-eighties rock band with a love of Bon Jovi hope to stand up against this most diabolical of musicians, whilst trying to shoot a video clip that could be better than Michael Jackson's Thriller?

In this episode, Adrian and Rod finally reach the end of the Donald Pleasence road, and ponder just what Paganini Horror could have been had Luigi Cozzi, the patron saint of Wild, Wild Podcast, been given a decent budget.

This season is dedicated to that great quiet man of British cinema, Donald Pleasence, who spent a great deal of time in the 1980s in Italy. We would love to hear from you about your favourite Donald Pleasence films from this period, or if you have ever had to play the guitar whilst wearing a painfully tight spandex catsuit.
