 Hello
friends, and welcome to the Cinefear archive of eye-opening
information. In this section, you are going to read some interesting
and thought provoking information on some of our favorite low budget
hack meisters. These articles are not just for fun, they are designed
to give insight into the personalities of the folks who fought ratings
boards, cheap, lying, swindling distributors, and tight wad producers
in order to bring their unique visions to the screen.
Right now, we
offer you some up close and personal info on the Fairy Banana Boy of
Blood, Andy Milligan, as well as a contribution by the beautiful (in
both body and soul) webmistress of the brilliant William Girdler.com site,
Ms.Patty Breen. She is, of course, writting about the too soon gone
William (Grizzly) Girdler, another maverick who puts the concept of the
modern independent filmmaker to shame.
We are also
serving up two sample interviews from The Exploitation Journal.
The late Donn Davison discusses his tenure with Ed Montoro and Film
Ventures International. And the late Al Adamson, director of Dracula
Vs. Frankenstein and Satan's Sadists, talks about his life
and career.
And as if this
isn't enough, we also offer you articles on the history of Mexican
horror Cinema, a two part piece that will leave you screaming
"Taquila", plus a piece on Porn Film Actresses Who REALLY Liked What
They Were Doing, and this article (for those 18 and over) will leave
you begging for a glass of water. Then, journey with us back to
television of yester year and the days when made for TV horror films
were as scary as those being made for the theatre.
As a bonus treat,
we will be featuring "Stream of Consciousness" writings from Paul (Exploitation
Journal) Richichi, who been keeping a journal of his thoughts since
the late 1960s. With Vietnam under his belt, and 820 Acid trips later,
we feel Paul has something to tell ya! Coming Spring 2009,
new "Streams of Consciouness" from Mr. Richichi... Keep your eyes
peeled!
Sound
& Vision profiles, complete with live video clips of some
of your favorite music groups! Be there or be square...First up, Canned Heat (officially up and
running). Phil Ochs

Band (Spring 2009).
