Happy Birthday, Roger Corman

Roger Corman, between producing, writing and directing, has been associated

with nearly 400 features.  Best known for doing things on the quick and cheap,

he is most acclaimed for his cycle of Edgar Allan Poe films made for AIP.

He has also served as a mentor for countless fledgling directors and actors

throughout his most impressive and lengthy career.
The King of the B-Movies turns 86 today.

Here's a small poster gallery from a few of the films he personally directed.

Happy Birthday, Tinto Brass

 

In the world of cinema Tinto Brass is to butts, what Russ Meyer is to boobs.

The Italian director is well known for his erotic films which reveal a very obvious

preoccupation and assthetic, if you will.  The King of the Bootys turns 79 today.

The Monsters Within

"I have always liked the monster within idea.

I like the zombies being us. Zombies are the blue-collar monsters."

Director George A. Romero turns 72 today

Here's some foreign posters for some of his best known features.

Night Of The Living Dead

The Crazies

Martin

Dawn Of The Dead

Creepshow

Day Of The Dead

Two Evil Eyes

If I Were A Carpenter

"What scares me is what scares you.

We're all afraid of the same things.

That's why horror is such a powerful genre.

All you have to do is ask yourself what frightens you

and you'll know what frightens me."

John Carpenter can easily be considered one of the most prolific voices
in film making.  Between screenwriting, directing and composing,

few other talents can boast such an impressive resume.  The icon turns 64 today,
hence this small poster gallery of some of his more popular films.
