EMPIRE OF THE B’S: THE MAD MOVIE WORLD OF CHARLES BAND (2014)
John Klyza – Guest Author, chapter: Too Gory For The Silver Screen (Wizard Video). The ‘Pulse-pounding’ saga of the Charles Band Empire… Charles Robert Band is one of the last great B-movie survivors–a genuine pioneer who, over four decades, forged such a unique path through the no man’s land of independent genre cinema that many thought him more than capable of seizing legendary producer Roger Corman’s long-held crown as ‘King of the B-movies’. The 1970s through to the late 1980s was the last great ‘golden age’ for the B-movie community, and with a non-stop series of grindhouse classics like Laserblast, Parasite, Re-Animator and Dolls for his own company Empire Pictures, it was the era that saw Charles Band take his rightful place in the indie hall of fame as Emperor of the ‘B’s.
