![]() Theories still swirl around about the particulars of this case, but the aftermath was considerable with the entire industry shaken up and Lords going into temporary hiding. Of course, the film's real claim to fame is its status as the first legitimate starring vehicle for Traci Lords, who had just been busted by the FBI for performing underage in adult films since 1984. Shooting for twelve days (and actually coming in half a day under), Wynorski won the bet and earned a new car in the process, not to mention one of the most consistently popular titles in his filmography. ![]() Not of This Earth actually began as a bet between Corman and director Jim Wynorski (who had already proven his mettle with Chopping Mall, Big Bad Mama II, and Deathstalker II), with the latter claiming he could churn out a remake even faster than Corman's notoriously thrifty, time-conscious original. ![]() Yet another permutation of Roger Corman's indie company (which also became New Horizons and New Concorde), it offered lots of cheap, disposable fun with limited theatrical play and a long life on cable and home video. ![]() ![]() This amusingly daffy remake of Roger Corman's 1957 sci-fi/vampire drive-in favorite is the perfect textbook example of late '80s Concorde Pictures entertainment. Starring Traci Lords, Arthur Roberts, Lenny Juliano, Roger Lodge, Ace Mask ![]()
