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!"

    Aw, man! I didn't know he died. The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies is an awesome movie!

    So is Rat Pfink a Boo Boo...Wild Guitar, the list goes on. He WILL be missed!

    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.
