Caleb Bethea
I met a priest once and she told me all about her work in horror films. When she said low budget, I thought Evil Dead. $375,000 for the original. But they threw these fuckers straight into the VCRs of late-lit living rooms. She spoke of the VHS boom of the 90s, how it paved the way for grindhouse scares and science fiction apocalypse terrors. Flicks directed by a man who made his name shooting gay porn. Bidding for artistic legitimacy with corn syrup carnages. Holy, if you really think about it.
