Unathorized life of Roger Corman

Unathorized life of Roger Corman

Just finished reading a cool book about legendary movie maker Roger Corman titled “Roger Corman: Unathorized Life”. What a guy… Most call him the “original King of the Exploitation Film”, as he’s done it all – from space monsters to martial arts flicks.

Story of a man behind the mask, or someone who made Arnold Schwarzenegger run for his life…

A few days ago, i got this idea, stuck in my head, writing an article about Kevin Peter Hall, the man behind the mask of the cult alien hunter “Predator”.
