Posts: 99 Nov 16 07 3:52 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Yo Zuccoman-- I don't have DVD-R recording capability, but if I can find a buddy who does, I'll let ya know & will then take you up on your very kind offer; Thanks! As for collecting: I once planned to collect Samantha Eggar, but some other guy beat me to it. So instead, I ocasionally pick up stills & other paper, but mostly I go for 35mm trailers etc from my faves: 50s AIP/AA/UA and other shlock, 60s/70s Eurohorror, Vincent, Christopher and Boris, Mario Bava, and the like. I used to get full 16mm/35mm prints, but that takes up too much money and space so I put the kabosh on that (unless I find 35mm's of ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS or some of the AIP's I'm missing). My fave thing right now is 35mm trailers. They're wicked cool, they usually include glimpses of the best scenes, and they're usually easier to find than the features (though the trailers can be nearly as expensive on eBay).

I believe I have a DVD-R copy of THE OFFSPRING, taken from what appears to be the old VHS release. If you'd like (and if I can find it), I'll save David the trouble of copying his and send this. David, I agree the director Burr showed potential here. The Gulager segment may be in questionable taste, but when considered apart from that, and apart from Vincent's association with the material, it's quite well done, and Burr got a fantastic performance out of Clu. I believe I read an interview with the actor in an issue of Fangoria...you may've even conducted it...wherein he summed up THE OFFSPRING with: "Everything that could go wrong with a low budget production did." .'. Earl Roesel .'.

I took Clu to see every one of Fellini's films at the American Cinemateque in 2005 and we sat in the very front row for each of them for an entire month it was beyond grand to sit with him and just listen to all the great stories of a lifetime in front of and behind the camera. Sometimes he would fall asleep and I would lean over and wake him up, he heard every word of what was going on even then. His son John was going though that reality show with FEAST and Clu wanted to be a part of John's first real film. The whole family is and was dedicated to film and the arts. I thought Clu was just about the best thing in FEAST. I hope it is not is last film but if it is then at least he was with his family till the last. Clu was the best thing that happened as far as friendships go on THE OFFSPRING

They should've contacted him through you, David. That's another, totally fantastic performance from Clu. In his Fangoria interview from 1985, he said he'd actually like to become a horror leading man, which is breathtaking considering how some actors flee the genre like the plague. It would've been wonderful to have had him in more horror films. I believe he read for a role, the one eventually played by Phillip Bruns, in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD PART II but the producers turned him down. .'. Earl Roesel .'.

He was a great friend of Buster Keaton and has many terrific tales to tell... I ATTENDED THE REUNION FOR RETURN IN HOLLYWOOD IN 2005.. they all were there except for Clu...or was he there anyone remember??

Posts: 120 Nov 20 07 9:50 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Greetings I decided to make these boards the first stop to announce that the next CAMP DAVID over at filmsinreview.com which will be the last for 2007 by the way. The column will be devoted entirely to the making of FROM A WHISPER TO A SCREAM/THE OFFSPRING. I really owe it to you guys for bringing the film up in the first place. After discussing different aspects of it here for the past couple of weeks it got me thinking about it again and now that I have collected all the essays for the forthcoming book WHEN STARS COLLIDE-WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE DOME-- My agent felt that I had not really done anything on Price alone so we decided to make this forthcoming one the last. The book now has 50 chapters and is ready to go.. I just sent it in today so that is why I have been off line for a bit. Look for it early in December over at Films in Review Hope this one fills in the gaps about what went on behind the scenes of one of Vincent's last films where he still had his heath and Coral by his side. thanks again for the inspiration

Why? Because of this―one fine day, a purely predatory world shall consume itself. In an individual, selfishness uglifies the soul; for the human species, selfishness is extinction.” ― David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas
