While not a big Slayer fan, this was a very sad news. I have some kind of arachnophobia and thinking that you can get that horrible disease from them makes it even worse. Luckily we don´t have dangerous ones in nature here in Finland.

The Naked Face is dreadful, even by the low standards of Cannon Films.

Director of hundreds of X-rated features from the late 70's to well into the new millenium, but probably best known for his sole acting job outside of adult cinema : as violent psychopath Fred Podowski a.k.a. Weasel from Wes Craven's Last House On The Left !
Two of Lincoln's early directorial features, Serena ; An Adult Fairytale (1980) and Same Time Every Year (1981), were released on dvd in the US a couple of months ago by Synapse Films' subdivision Impulse Pictures.

Unforgettable role! It seems that he also had a small part in Defiance (1980). Don´t remember him though, must´ve been a very small role.

Yeah, i noticed that too that he has been given an acting credit for Defiance (1980) on the Imdb. However, i must admit i have some doubts he was actually in that movie. I think they might have made an error and mixed up Defiance (1980) with The Defiance Of Good (1975) a.k.a. 'Defiance!', a fairly well-known adult feature in which he starred.
I'm not really 100% sure though.
Here's the 1975 Defiance :

Definitely made for a convincing bunch of psychopaths in the original,i'm not really into remakes but i will watch them more out of curiosity than anything else but I did watch the remake of last house at the cinema when it first came out and as remakes go i didn't think it was to bad.

Ya this was such horrible news. In my book, Sopranos is the best series of all time. It was just so perfect and he made the show. He was too good. He became Tony Soprano and that hurt his career. Nobody could look at him and not think of him as anything else. It is one of the best acting performances I've witnessed. Really a sad sad day for me.

Richard Matheson, famous author of science-fiction, horror and fantasy novels, passed away yesterday at the age of 87. Matheson also wrote dozens of screenplays, including The Raven, The Devil Rides Out, Duel, The Legend Of Hell House, Dead Of Night, and several classic episodes of The Twilight Zone. His novel I Am Legend (1954) was the source for three movie adaptations : The Last Man On Earth (1964), The Omega Man (1971) starring Charlton Heston, and more recently the big-budget I Am Legend (2007) starring Will Smith.

Chia-Liang Liu, one of the most productive kung-fu filmmakers, passed away yesterday after losing his battle against cancer. Some sources claim he was 76, while others say he was 78.
Maybe his name doesn't immediately ring a bell with everyone, but growing up at the height of videostores popularity in the mid-80's, it was impossible not to come across some of his movies. He was the director of such martial-arts classics as The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin, Return To The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin, Disciples Of The 36th Chamber, The Eight-Diagram Pole Fighter, Executioners From Shaolin, and Legendary Weapons Of Kung-Fu. Together with legendary filmmaker Chang Cheh, he was one of the driving forces behind the Shaw Brothers production company. He was also a fight-choreographer, stuntman, and actor.
I found this clip of the Annual Hong Kong Film Awards from 2010 where he was awarded with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
