That will get some folks in Lynchburg and at LU agitated. As most of his films are R-rated I don't know how many of you have seen any of them. His early ones were extremely ummmmm unique. If you can see him without getting in trouble I'd recommend it. He's a very interesting funny guy.

So then have some pervert coming to town. The circus must have gotten in early

I have class that night so I can't go, but I'll have to look into some of his movies, he sounds like he does some pretty interesting stuff.

I'm intrigued, and it's on my day off. I might have to go out of sheer morbid curiosity.

I don't know, but I want to see Blood Feast 2. The original was hilariously awesome.

Well good is relative term. In his early days his films were totally off the wall and made for tiny budgets in his hometown of Baltimore. They were intended to offend all and pretty much did. "Pink Flamingoes" was his best known and was a big hit on the college circuit in the 70's and 80's. Latrer he went more mainstream with Hairspray and others. You can take him or leave him but he IS a major character. Nobody else like him. He often used Patty Hearst in supporting roles in his later films.
