Producer and director Roger corman has a movie for every generation going back about 70 years. That means horror fans aged 21 and older have probably seen one of his films. Mr. Corman passed away on May 9 at the age of 98.

“He was generous, open-hearted, and kind to all those who knew him. A devoted and selfless father, he was deeply loved by his daughters,” his family said i le Instagram. “His films were revolutionary and iconoclastic, and captured the spirit of an age.”

The prolific filmmaker was born in Detroit Michigan in 1926. The art of making films swayed his interest in engineering. So, in the mid-1950s he turned his attention to the silver screen by co-producing the film Highway Dragnet i 1954.

A year later he would get behind the lens to direct Five Guns West. The plot of that film sounds like something Spielberg or Tarantino would make today but on a multi-million dollar budget: “During the Civil War, the Confederacy pardons five criminals and sends them into Comanche-territory to recover Union-seized Confederate gold and capture a Confederate turncoat.”

From there Corman made a few pulpy Westerns, but then his interest in monster movies emerged starting with The Beast With a Million Eyes (1955) ma It Conquered the World (1956). In 1957 he directed nine movies that ranged from creature features (Osofaiga a Sau’i paa) to exploitative teenage dramas (Teenage Doll).

By the 60s his focus turned mainly to horror movies. Some of his most famous of that period were based on Edgar Allan Poe’s works, O le Faimoa ma le Pendulum (1961), Le Rava (1961) ma O le Masque o le Oti Ulaula (1963).

During the 70s he did more producing than directing. He backed a wide array of films, everything from horror to what would be called grindhouse today. One of his most famous films from that decade was Tuʻuga Oti 2000 (1975) ma Ron Howard’s first feature Eat My Dust (1976).

In the following decades, he offered many titles. If you rented a B-movie from your local video rental place, he likely produced it.

Even today, after his passing, IMDb reports that he has two upcoming movies in post: itiiti Shop of Halloween Horrors ma Aai o Solitulafono. Like a true Hollywood legend, he is still working from the other side.

“His films were revolutionary and iconoclastic, and captured the spirit of an age,” his family said. “When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, ‘I was a filmmaker, just that.'”
