Enjoyable, even if you don't know much about the subject. I learned a lot about B movies.
This may be the best Doc on Shudder. Featuring one of the great schlock masters. Anyone who grew up in the 70’s seen most of his movies on weekend horror host shows. Worth the watch.
A great focus on the man's life more so than his death. Very well done.
Sure does bring back a lot of great memories growing up in the 1970's where almost every weekend there was a Al Adamson film playing on CREATURE FEATURE or CHILLER THEATER. Great info on DRACULA vs FRANKENSTEIN with the naming of the Count which i always felt was too similar to the great Anton Szandor LaVey along with the legendary actor who i will not mention so as not to spoil too much.
Be careful who you hire as a contractor I’ve seen plenty of things go wrong with them
