    Corman's one of my favourite filmmakers. His '50s monster flicks do nothing for me, but I was won over by his Poe films. They, along with _Bride of Frankenstein_ , are the pictures that convinced me cinema is a legitimate artform.

    Fascinating to learn more about Corman! He had such an astounding career and deserves more recognition.
    On that note, I'd love to see a video with your thoughts on The Haunted Palace in particular! That's my favorite of Corman's Poe movies, partly because it's actually a Lovecraft story (The Case of Charles Dexter Ward) in disguise, lol.

    Mr. Corman, the king that gave James Cameron and Gale Ann Hurd their chance to shine on lots of projects that pretty much were some sort of mockbusters or rip-offs like the Asylum one but even more charming, for example, "Battle Beyond the Stars"-Corman's Star Wars, and"Galaxy of Terror"-in which James Cameron designed some if the sets and creature as well as pretty much giving us a peak of what Aliens will be in the following years, as well as putting 2 horror legends together Robert Englund and Sid Haig. And let's not forget his cameo in Silence of the Lambs. Mad respect for Mr. Corman.

    Fun fact: I skipped my friend’s wedding years ago to attend a live riffing of Cinematic Titanic’s skewering of “The Wasp Woman.” I do not regret my actions at all.
    I have to credit “Mystery Science Theater 3000” for introducing me to Corman. They may not have been fans of his output, but their introduction for me paved the way to an appreciation for a maverick of cinema.
