Italian producer Pier A. Caminnecci, the money behind Succubus, Castle of the Creeping Flesh, Two Undercover Angels, Death on a Rainy Day and Kiss Me Monster, wanted to make a movie for his wife, Pia Degermark, whose film Elvira Madigan had been a major success.

Directed by Robert Young, with a screenplay by Judson Kinberg and a story by George Baxt and Wilbur Stark, Vampire Circus is pretty great. Young hadn’t made a movie with the studio, so he was surprised that when he tried to get an extra week of filming, they just took the movie to be edited. […]

Imagine The Immoral Mr. Teas, but way after that movie was erotic. Yes, it’s Up Your Alley—also released under titles like Sex or Bust and Bang, Bang, the Mafia Gang—and it’s Art Lieberman’s singular directorial effort, unless you watched the Marilyn Monroe short he made in 1986. I mean, how does a softcore director get […]
Produced and directed by Roger Corman, this movie was originally a double feature with Beast from Haunted Cave. When it aired on TV two years later, director Jack Hill added a new prologue to extend its runtime.
