NC

Severin Films Season

101 mins – United States 2019 – Documentary
Director: David Gregory
Featuring: Al Adamson, Samuel M. Sherman and Chris Poggiali


‘Horror Film Director Found Slain, Buried Under Floor’, screamed the 1995 headlines read around the world. But the truth behind the wild life of Al Adamson – including the production of such low budget classics as SATAN’S SADISTS, DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN and THE NAUGHTY STEWARDESSES – and his grisly death reveals perhaps the most bizarre career in Hollywood history. Told through over 40 first-person recollections from friends, family, colleagues and historians – plus rare clips and archival interviews with Adamson himself – BLOOD & FLESH is the award-winning chronicle of bikers, go-go dancers, porn stars, ageing actors, freak-out girls, Charles Manson, Colonel Sanders, alien conspiracies and homicidal contractors.
