The not-quite-world-famous "official" Giallo drinking game.

Take a drink if:


-Someone is attacked inside or walking out of an elevator

-A victim has more than one cat
Stay out of the tub!

-A murder is seen through a point of view camera angle

-The police have closed the case before the real killer is discovered

-Someone gets naked within the first minute of the film.

-Someone is attacked on a train

-A hooker is picked up on the side of the road

-You see a bottle of J&B Scotch

-A pair of black gloves is seen opening a door (can be multiple doors in one scene so drink each time)

-A woman takes a bath (never a good idea for longevity in a giallo)

-You see a child's doll

-Someone plays a record player

-More than two hippies are dancing to groovy music

-You see an animal-skin rug

-A doctor is called not because someone is injured but to treat hysteria

-The camera looks up or down a stairwell

I'll drink to that

NOTE: These rules were pain-stakingly researched for giallo films but will work for other Italian film formats as well, especially from the 60s and 70s. A word of caution if playing while watching Italian crime films; those guys loved to drink and their scotch of choice was J&B so that rule comes up a lot.
