Cult People

From Headpress

"Ted Raimi has appeared in Spider-Man. His former babysitter is Bruce Campbell. Bill McKinney was a redneck rapist in Deliverance. Anthony Taylor produced Incubus, the only horror film spoken in Esperanto. Lance Henriksen was in Aliens and Near Dark. Cool people. Cult People.

CULT PEOPLE is a selection of interviews with many of the world's most fascinating and renowned stars of cult cinema, including the late David Carradine, the legendary Ken Russell and the lamentable Albert Pyun...

Nicanor Loreti's knowledge and enthusiasm opens up his subjects on the unbelievable world of the alternative Hollywood as never before, and the book is studded with anecdotes which communicate the essence of this eccentric industry, including mass zombie auditions, crews and casts stranded in distant lands after funding vanishes, and downright dangerous attempts to make a low budget movie in the North Pole.

Other interviewees include Billy Drago, Wes Craven, Michael Ironside and Don Stroud. CULT PEOPLE is a book for the budding director, actor, producer and cinematographer as much as it is the fan or fanatic, and promises to delight and inform all who read it."
