I visited the shop that publishes the fanzine, it's 20 mins from my flat funny enough, and i arrived 20 mins before they closed!
A little dark ancient shop that has a smell of vintage videos! Excellent.
Full of books, mags, fanzines etc.
Near the counter are the Monster Bis fanzines, I could have went wild but since it is the festive month I couldn't afford more than 2 issues.
There were a few dvds but nothing great, but plenty of VHS - Fulci, Martino, Craven, etc. I was a tad overwhelmed by the French titles and the sheer amount so I didn't splash out on anything. he did have some Italian crime with Milian, Sabato etc... but I figured I'd get those on DVD someday.
I spoke with the owner who writes the zine and was actually a filmmaker of Z-movies:

Very nice chap, one of the first things he mentioned was the passing away of Mr. Werewolf Paul Naschy. We spoke a little about Jean Rollin (his friend) and sadly said that he is ill at the moment with heart problems as well as his liver that troubled him a few years ago...
Anyway, I was very pleased to get these (if somewhat expensive at €15 each), he even tossed in another publication for free. I will be going again next year to get a couple more.
There's a third Italian Crime edition but it's sold out.
