FULL MOON RISING: THE CHARLES BAND STORY
If you spent any significant amount of time haunting video stores in the ’80s and ’90s, chances are Charles Band had something to do with messing you up.
Synopsis
Puppet Master. Subspecies. Future Cop. Dollman. Demonic Toys. Castle Freak. Tourist Trap. Ghoulies. And that’s barely scratching the surface of a filmography populated by killer puppets, miniature assassins, intergalactic cops, homicidal toys, horny monsters and all manner of wonderfully questionable ideas that somehow made it from Charles Band’s brain onto the shelves of your local video library.
Sarah Appleton’s FULL MOON RISING: THE CHARLES BAND STORY celebrates the extraordinary life and career of the writer, director, producer and tireless cinematic showman who turned low-budget filmmaking into something approaching an industrial process — and gave generations of horror fans a reason to venture into the dusty back reaches of the horror section.
