R.I.P. Ray Dennis Steckler

Farewell to the man whose movies amused & inspired me more than any other cult-type director's. I spoke to him on the phone once- just called him up at his video store. He was great!...

"The world's here to be enjoyed, not to make you depressed!"

So is Rat Pfink a Boo Boo...Wild Guitar, the list goes on. He WILL be missed!; Tuesday, January 20, 2009 4:06:00 PM

Mr. Karswell said...: Yeah, totally suck ass news... I'll have to have myself a RDS Fest this weekend.

He will also be forever immortalized in a SOBM song called Earth Dies Screaming where we heavily sampled from The Thrill Killers for the intro.; Friday, January 23, 2009 12:10:00 AM
