The Movie Crypt


Oct 8, 2018

Director William Lustig (MANIAC, MANIAC COP 2) shares his career journey and industry insight with Adam, Joe, and Arwen in this episode that we only wish could have gone on for another 3 hours!  From dropping out of High School… to working on the set of adult films… to directing one of the most beloved horror films of all time (MANIAC – which even Martin Scorsese requested a copy of for his own personal collection!)… to creating his own distribution label (Blue Underground) with the sole purpose of introducing audiences to the arthe loves… Lustig has seen and done it all!  Dr. Arwen discusses using real-life inspiration in your writing in her “Hollywood Therapy” segment, the guys answer as much of your fantastic “Viewer Mail” as they can get to, and we all learn some awesome trivia about Tom Savini’s iconic “shotgun windshield blast” and the correlation between MANIAC and FLASHDANCE in these massively entertaining 2+ hours that fly by faster than a bird with crystal plumage. (See what we did there?)
