In high school my friends and I would hang out at my house and watch the same videos over and over again. We had what we called “The Big Three” and we’d watch them religiously, not unlike a football coach studying footage from last weekend’s game his team lost.
The film BLACK DEVIL DOLL has generated a lot of interest at the various horror conventions or film festivals I’ve attended in the past year and most of the talk surrounding the movie has been based almost entirely upon the trailer alone.
Although he has been directing films for nearly thirty years, William Malone has only released a handful of movies during that time. His most popular work would be the 1999 remake of the William Castle classic House on Haunted Hill.

Dee Wallace will forever be known for her portrayal of Mary, the newly divorced single mother in Steven Spielberg’s classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. This fact rests well with Dee partly because she views E.T. as one of the most pivotal family films since The Wizard of Oz.
Charles Band has been around films his whole life. His father, Albert Band made films continuously throughout the sixties and seventies.
