YOU DON’T KNOW ME, BUT YOU LOVE ME
The first-ever biography of actor/American treasure Dick Miller, and so a vital resource for all film buffs
THE AMAZING HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS
THE AMAZING HERSCHELL GORDON LEWIS by Daniel Krogh, is the first book devoted to H. G. Lewis, widely hailed as the Godfather of Gore. His flicks include such 1960s and 70s-era anti-classics as BLOOD FEAST, TWO THOUSAND MANIACS!…
Art, Exploitation and the Cannon Group
Remember the Cannon Group? It was a small movie studio purchased in 1979 by the Israeli duo, Menahem Golan and Yorum Globus, who quickly turned Cannon into one of the most prolific and ambitious film conglomerates of the 1980s.
THE SANDMAN 1996
Those familiar with the no-budget auteur Bookwalter’s work won’t be surprised to hear that the shot-on-video SANDMAN isn’t very good…but then, it’s not all that bad, either
PRIVATE PARTS (1972)
Perverse is the word for this freaky 1972 film, the first by the late Paul Bartel
PIRANHA (1978)
the infamous Roger Corman produced JAWS rip that contained some heavy duty talent working behind the scenes. It’s fun, but don’t expect anything too profound
X: THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES
Here’s a film that should be remade, an early sixties Roger Corman potboiler with an unusually imaginative script that utilizes ominous Lovecraftian overtones
FORBIDDEN WORLD
The second of Roger Corman’s early eighties ALIEN rip-offs, and makes the first, 1981’s middling GALAXY OF TERROR, look like a masterpiece in comparison
TARGETS
One of the most stunning horror films of the 1960s, and one of the finest movies ever directed by Peter Bogdonovich
THE DUNWICH HORROR
A dumber-than-average H.P. Lovecraft adaptation from 1970, courtesy of American International Pictures, who naturally attempted to juice up Lovecraft’s writing with late sixties psychadelia and gratuitous sex appeal
