Stompbox presents Mario Bava's Hatchet For The Honeymoon 

A tribute to T.O. born star Stephen Forsyth

Stompbox is presenting a special tribute to HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON star Stephen Forsyth (1938-2025) with rare, never-seen, original film and music memorabilia from Forsyth’s own personal archives of his time in the 1960s & 1970s Italian film industry, courtesy of The Candy Bar!

Seven years after innovating the grisly Italian giallo genre, Mario Bava returned to the form to create one of its deliriously frightening gems: HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON (Il rosso segno della follia). Canada’s own Stephen Forsyth stars as John Harrington, the head of an affluent fashion house, who harbors an uncontrollable bloodlust for women in bridal veils. Only by murdering a succession of them, can he delve deeper into his subconscious and bring to light the primal scene that spawned his very specific homicidal fetish. With its director doubling as cinematographer, HATCHET is one of Bava's most visually sumptuous films. (Kino Lorber)

Toronto-born HATCHET star Stephen Forsyth, who passed away on September 12, 2025, was a beloved fixture of the Kensington Market neighbourhood. But also had a successful run as a marquee actor in Italy in the 1960s and early 1970s, including westerns BLOOD CALLS TO BLOOD and IN A COLT’S SHADOW, and climaxing in his final and best remembered film role, as the disturbed lead of HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON, before leaving Italy to focus on music composition, photography and an array of artistic interests up until his passing.

Close friend of Mr. Forsyth, Paola Giavedoni, owner of The Candy Bar – College Street’s beloved candy and confectionary institution and longtime sponsor of the Revue Cinema’s Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Cartoon Party - will be bringing a collection of posters, photos, and memorabilia from the personal archives of Mr. Forsyth, documenting his time at the nerve centre of Italian film history and his work with the incomparable Mario Bava.
