Moment of Silence: Roger Corman

Roger Corman has passed away, according to the Washington Post. He was 98 years old.

His output as a director was incredibly wide, and I first became acquainted with him through Mystery Science Theater 3000, where some of his less popular films showed up. It Conquered the World, Teenage Caveman, The Undead, Gunslinger, The Viking Women and the Sea Serpent, and (my personal favorite) Attack of the Giant Leeches.

More popular films of his include the original Little Shop of Horrors, Death Race 2000, The Pit and the Pendulum, and The Masque of the Red Death. I've seen all the ones I listed just now. except for Pendulum, and my favorite was Masque of the Red Death.

I'm sorry to hear that. His films were always such fun.
