I love his Poe films. He was just on Joe Bob Briggs’ show on Shudder. His influence on American film is incalculable given he was the start for so many great careers like Nicholson, Scorsese, Coppola, and James Cameron. May this true titan of cinema rest in peace. Thank you for all you made and gave us Mr. Corman.

What a bad day for horror movies. Do you have a favorite of his? Mine is probably The Fall of the House of Usher.

Dracula, hugsfromlv426 Maybe we could have an impromptu Mid-Month Movie Night honoring Roger Corman next weekend?

His influence on American film is incalculable given he was the start for so many great careers like Nicholson, Scorsese, Coppola, and James Cameron. May this true titan of cinema rest in peace. Thank you for all you made and gave us Mr. Corman. He elevated the schlock genre without removing the charm of schlock. He also sponsored Peter Bogdanovich, who was assigned to use Karloff to fulfill a contract. This was typical of Corman. Bogdanovich got the chance to make Targets because Boris Karloff owed studio head Roger Corman two days' work. Corman told Bogdanovich he could make any film he liked provided he used Karloff and stayed under budget. In addition, Bogdanovich used clips from Corman's Napoleonic-era thriller The Terror in the movie. The clips from The Terror feature Jack Nicholson, Dick Miller and Boris Karloff. A brief clip of Howard Hawks' 1931 film The Criminal Code featuring Karloff was also used. Polly Platt was the film's production designer, in addition to developing the story, and it was her idea to set the ending at a drive-in movie theater. Wikipedia The final scene in Orson Welles unfinished film, The Other Side of the Wind, is set in a drive-in movie theatre. It was Peter who edited Welles’s footage into a completed film. That was the last project Bogdanovich worked on.

Nooooooo! Well, he lived a long life. And? Maybe we never had Jack Nicholson without him. RIP.

R.I.P to the king of the B movies.
I always thought he had died whenever he was trending on Moviechat or someone made a tribute to him on YouTube.
