"Terror Firmer" the R-rated version (only example where the censored version is better than the director's cut) is FREAKIN HILARIOUS!!!

9. Lloyd Kaufman did not make those films
he's just a distributor

I personally know the fellow who made "Teenage Catgirls in Heat" and it ain't anybody named Kaufman

11. I tend to agree.
Carpenter's "Vampires" (with James Woods) was truly an excellent example of a B-movie. :)

10. Gregory Hippolyte. He is actually a very skilled filmmaker...
who worked in a "bad" genre (straight to video erotic thrillers) He is also the LEGENDARY Gregory Dark of Dark Brothers fame. He currently works under his real name (Greg Brown) as the most in demand music video director. A fascinating man.
