No bashing intended.  In fact, I collect Corman films, but they are low
budget affairs.  In Demme's first feature film, _Caged Heat_, the prison
shrink was performing lobotomies with a Black & Decker quarter inch drill.
Why waste money on realistic props? (-8

They are still around, although financial difficulties had them keeping
a low profile for a while.  They recently released another couple of
_Puppetmaster_ films.  Don't know if they'll be using BOC/Buck again.
Charles's brother writes music himself, so they may keep it in the
family for budgetary reasons.
