One Room, Many Sets by JohnJG
The trick to no-budget filmmaking is “making do” with what you have.. and when you don’t really have much of anything to start with you ultimately must find creative ways to stretch every dollar and recycle elements from previous films to aid in the assembly of all subsequent films. Finding places to shoot is one of the most difficult tasks, and…

Bloodsuckers Serial by Bill Black
Later in my life after finishing college and a hitch in the army, I tried my hand at making a Republic type serial as Don Glut had done years earlier. In homage to such titles as ZOMBIES OF THE STRATOSPHERE, I titled my effort BLOODSUCKERS FROM OUTER SPACE. The idea was to combine the cliffhanger action genre with the horror…

Spy Smasher vs. The Purple Monster by Bill Black
Recently I was discussing filmmaker DON GLUT with Chris Casteel. Both Don and I made amateur horror movies when we were in high school… back in the dark ages, pre video, using 8mm cameras with no sound. Although we lived over a thousand miles apart and never knew of each other, our films were very similar and I wondered if…

Jim Bannon by Bill Black
Jim Bannon I love old movies and constantly watch TCM to catch rare gems from Hollywood’s past. Lately actor JIM BANNON has been turning up in various noir films (I LOVE A MYSTERY). I met Bannon at a Western film festival in the mid-1970′s. Where I remembered him from my childhood was co-starring in a few WHIP WILSON B Westerns….

Durango Kid – Rough, Tough West
During the Sarasota appearance I invited Jock Mahoney to appear in September, 1980 at ORLANDOcon. A couple months later he called me from North Dakota (or Montana, some state way up north) where he was on location filming “Mountain Men”. He was concerned about conflicting schedules but they finished on time. This film was probably never released. It’s not in…

Forgotten Greats of Universal Horror by Mark Heike
In our household, the last week in October gets us into the Halloween mode, which means a steady diet of horror movies on video until the big day arrives. Since we’re big fans of the classic Universal monsters, we usually go through the whole library on an annual basis, from the 1931″ Dracula” right on through 1956 “Creature Walks Among…

Jock Mahoney
Currently on Saturdays on Turner Classic Movies, they are running the TARZAN movies one each week. Recently they showed TARZAN GOES TO INDIA and that got me to thinking about the film’s star, JOCK MAHONEY, whom I met back in 1980.
