With titles like \u003ci\u003eHorror of the Blood Monsters, Cycle Savages\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Incredible 2-Headed Transplant\u003c\/i\u003e, these films pushed the boundaries of acceptable on-screen violence and nudity and kept the American theater industry afloat as several major studios teetered on the brink of financial collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This work tells the story of that \"other\" Hollywood through interviews with 16 directors, performers, screenwriters, and stuntmen who helped bring these zero-budget films to the screen against incredible odds. The interviews give insights into exploitation filmmaking from the perspectives of pioneering directors Al Adamson and Jack Hill, actors Jenifer Bishop and Robert Dix, and stuntmen Gary Kent and Gary Littlejohn, and others. The work includes more than 50 photographs, including many rare behind-the-scenes images of the filmmakers on set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Albright\u003c\/b\u003e is a freelance journalist who has contributed to \u003ci\u003eFangoria, FilmFax, Alternative Cinema, VideoScope\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShock Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e.
