I absolutely love giallo films (gialli, if you're a person 🍝 of 🤌🏻 culture 🇮🇹). I've been rewatching some here and there after starting a ~four-year binge during lockdown. As in any inevitable era in any medium, there's a good grip of classics and a whole lotta trash. And while I wouldn't recommend you start a dive into glamorous, sleazy, sometimes psychedelic but often dreamy Italian proto-slashers with 1972's Death Walks At Midnight, my recent revisit absolutely rocketed it to one my all-time favorites. Among its ceaseless cool is the killer's spiked gauntlet (in lieu of the formula-standard stiletto or straight razor).

Simultaneously, I also love my EQD Warden. My newer band-in-progress is heavy on weird chording, so the compressor is always on for maximum clarity without too much obvious squish. I just hate the name and the graphic. Plus, @Chuck D. Bones was absolutely spittin with his mod insights as always (the tone knob to treble boost conversion is phenomenal) . Then I found out Tayda does glow-in-the-dark enclosures. Everything came together, figuratively and literally.

No underpainting this goaround, just Maco transparency paper, Rustoleum clear gloss enamel and the aforementioned Tayda jawn plus knobs from LMS. For art, I copped the sunglass reflection part from the reissue Blu-ray cover, then did some quick monochrome work behind it with a still of film lead and total smokeshow Nieves Navarro. The hand and gauntlet itself could be a bit more crisp, and my phone camera is miles from any ability to capture a glow-in-the-dark pic, but I am stoked on how this came out and how it looks on my board between my Chalumeau and Nutty Fuzz builds!

More Boneyard Edition PCBs please, Chuck and @Robert ! Y'all are the best.
