He's not dead. It's just worth mentioning the guy who directed some of the greatest 80s and all-time B-movies ever. The teen exploitation flicks today can't hold a candle to Band's work. Some [i]classics[/i] he was responsible for...

Laserblast (1979)
Metalstorm (1983)
Re-Animator (1985)
Ghoulies (1985)
Troll (1986)
From Beyond (1986)
Puppet Master (1989)

And his all-time great, Trancers (1985)...

What, no mention of the no-time great, "The Alchemist?" The film so great, he didn't even want his name on it?

You got me over to IMBD on this one, because I know Stuart Gordon directed Re-Animator. But there it is, in the bottom of the listing -- a special thanks to Band on the credits of Re-Animator.

Band's record is impressive, if not for quality certainly for quantity. He's produced 240 movies since 1973. -- and he's still working. According to IMDB, he in post production on Evil Bong II - King Bong, so he's got that going for him.
