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!
