This interview originally appeared in SFX magazine issue 175 (October 2008). We spoke to Roger Corman about his heroes and inspirations for the issue.
When a young Roger Corman was shooting the likes of It Conquered the World and Attack of the Crab Monsters, he’d have been highly amused by the notion that, decades later, he’d be feted by academia. But that’s exactly what has happened to the King of the B-movie. SFX spoke to Corman at Cine Excess II, an ICA conference on cult film (typical lecture title: 'The bald and the beautiful – the performativity of Billy Zane'), where he was guest of honor.
