Synopsis

This documentary serves as a roller-coaster ride through the history of American exploitation films, spanning Roger Corman's sci-fi and horror monster movies, 1960s beach movies, H.G. Lewis' gore-fests, William Castle's schlocky theatrical gimmicks, 1970s blaxploitation, pre-"Deep Throat" sex tease films, Russ Meyer's bosom-heavy masterpieces, and more. Featuring over 25 interviews with some of the greatest purveyors of weird films from 1940 to 1975, the film is illustrated with dozens of film clips, trailers, and extra footage. A shorter companion piece to the documentary focuses on exploitation king David F. Friedman.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
