Without his financing, we may never have seen Castle Freak, RobotJox, Cellar Dweller, From Beyond and Tourist Trap. I have yet to see most of his self-helmed films, but I'll bet that they have good scores and some good critter effects, even if they drag along, story-wise. Props given!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356276790484447965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4103727900749656485.post-70943389505304290652009-06-09T20:10:09.612-06:002009-06-09T20:10:09.612-06:00While I haven't seen Parasite - though your re...While I haven't seen <i>Parasite</i> - though your review makes it seem like it might be fun - I have to mention that Charles Band, while undoubtedly an absolutely bottom-dollar-line horror-schlock producer, funded four early Stuart Gordon films, including the great <i>From Beyond</i>, and if my memory of old <i>Fangoria</i> issues holds true, had sort of a mentor role with Gordon on <i>Re-Animator</i> (though I can't qualify that statement). Band's company produced it (though Band himself wasn't directly involved) and his brother Richard Band took all the best bits of the <i>Psycho</i> score that were not shower related and recycled them for <i>Re-Animator</i>'s score. Any family that lovingly rips things off that way - including their own earlier work - certainly deserves props.nervenethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607255598302643708noreply@blogger.com
