Success usually comes with a price. For some, it is the alienation of their closest friends. For others, it is their downward spiral into addiction and self destruction. For Dario Argento, it was being pigeonholed. His directorial debut, L’uccello dalle piume di cristallo (aka The Bird With the Crystal Plumage), had become an international success and both fans and his investors expected more of the same. CCC Kunst, or Terra-Filmkunst as they became, were a German-based company who had helped fund his previous effort and were now demanding something similar for his sophomore feature. The impact of The Bird With the Crystal Plumage convinced other filmmakers to attempt their own variations, usually containing references to animals in their titles -Una lucertola con la pelle di donna (Lizard in a Woman’s Skin), La tarantola dal ventre nero (Black Belly of the Tarantula), The Case of the Scorpion’s Tail (La coda dello scorpione) and Non si sevizia un paperino (Don’t Torture a Duckling). Unsure on how to progress, Argento retreated to Morocco to unwind and soak in the success of his first movie.

The War of the Worlds
by H. G. Wells
CHAPTER ONE
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those.
