During his teenage years, Lustig avidly watched a huge volume of lowdown trashy exploitation fare at numerous 42nd Street grindhouse theaters in Manhattan and also worked as a movie theater usher in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After graduating from high school, he took a few film classes at New York University.
In 1980, Lustig found himself at the center of a storm of controversy when he made the grim, gory and disturbing slasher sleaze splatter landmark "Maniac," which boasts an incredibly intense performance by the legendary character actor Joe Spinell as a vicious depraved psychopath and plenty of hideously graphic and gruesome make-up effects by genre icon Tom Savini. In 1982, Lustig followed up "Maniac" with the tough, gritty and exciting New York urban revenge opus "Vigilante." In 1988, he delivered another winner with the terrific "Maniac Cop," a violent horror action flick about an undead New York police officer on a killing spree which was the first of several cinematic collaborations with fellow maverick independent filmmaker Larry Cohen.
Lustig followed up with the 1989 stirring action item "Hit List" and the suspenseful serial killer thriller "Relentless," starring Judd Nelson and Robert Loggia. In 1990, Lustig made the favorite of his films, âManiac Cop 2,â which many consider superior to the popular original. Lustig's last film as a director to date was the nifty and enjoyable 1996 fright flick "Uncle Sam." Recently Lustig produced the well-received remake of âManiacâ starring Elijah Wood, and is now producing the reboot of âManiac Cop.â
Since 1997, William Lustig went on to initially produce DVDs for Anchor Bay and now currently runs the outstanding home entertainment label Blue Underground, which restores and re-releases popular and little seen cult movies and other grindhouse horror, thriller, action, and western films.

The team sits down with Nikki Erlick, as part of the Sonoma Valley Authors Festival. Nikki's book debuted #6 on the NY Times Best Seller list.
Nikki Erlick is a journalist and travel writer whose work has appeared online with New York Magazine, Harperâs Bazaar, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, Indagare Travel, The Huffington Post, and Vox.
Erlickâs eagerly anticipated debut novel, The Measure, will be published by HarperCollins in June 2022. Equally charming and thought-provoking, The Measure explores a philosophical question â âwhat if everybody on earth knew exactly how long they had left to live?â â with compassion and pragmatism, examining how the implications might trickle down into every area of modern life.
Of her inspiration for writing The Measure, Erlick says: âDuring this past year of tremendous pain and upheaval, I found myself reflecting on the ways in which we measure our own lives and success and happiness, the way we measure the value of others, and the way we measure a society as a whole. All of these thoughts poured into this story of a world that so closely resembles oursâbut with one powerful, poignant twist. As someone who has always turned to literature for comfort and guidance, I am in awe of so many authors whose works have inspired such deep empathy within me, and my greatest wish is that this story might accomplish the same.â

The team sits down to get the scoop on new film, "Traveling Light". Featured in this interview is Bernard Rose, Director and Writer, and Danny Huston, who plays "Harry" in the film.
Traveling Light tells the story of Caddy (Tony Todd) over a twenty four hour period on May 30th 2020 as he searches for his missing son who has been living on the streets, while working as an Uber/Delivery driver during the early days of the Pandemic in Los Angeles. His path crosses Harry (Danny Huston), a cult leader who is holding a bizarre happening/ceremony up on Mulholland drive where Todd (Stephen Dorff) and Mary (Olivia d'Abo) are attending as acolytes. All the while news of the horrific murder of George Floyd reverberates around the city as the social fabric collapses and we realize we are witnessing the end of an era... Funny and frightening in equal measure, Traveling Light is a Bunuelian satire of bourgeoisie life in Los Angeles at a moment of extreme crisis. Directed by Bernard Rose (Candyman 1992).

The once peaceful and booming Yellowstone City has fallen on hard times, but when a local prospector strikes gold, things seem to be turning around. Any hope is soon shattered when the prospector is found dead and the Sheriff quickly arrests a mysterious newcomer. But nothing is so simple in this sleepy western town, and more than a few of the locals have secrets to keep and reasons to kill. As the brutal murders continue, pitting neighbor against neighbor,Yellowstone City goes down a bloody path to a final showdown that not all will survive.
Richard Gray - Director Statement
After scouting almost every western town / back lot in North America, we built Yellowstone
City from scratch in Montana. It took over two years, with many Covid delays, but that gave us time to think about every scene, every beat, the weather â the look of each season. Watch the town grow from the ground up. The area we built in (Paradise Valley) was called Yellowstone City in the 1850s, and now itâs back.
I was so excited reading the screenplay. Eric did such a fabulous job. Murder mystery westerns are rare, that was super cool and original, but there is still such a classic western here and thatâs what really impressed me. At its heart weâre dealing with fascinating characters, with major decisions to make. Weâre dealing with social injustice, and what folks are prepared to do in seeking the truth. What are they prepared to do for true justice? They risk their lives, they lose their lives â our heroes ultimately arenât prepared to stay silent, and thatâs what makes this film tick. There are themes, moments and truths that are incredibly relevant, then and now.

The team sits down with Director, Alberto Belli, and Writer/Star, Jim Mahoney from film, GATLOPP.
A group of old friends reunites for a nostalgic evening of fun and games after a decade apart. After one too many, they decide to play a drinking game, but itâs quickly revealed that this game comes with supernatural stakes. Mischief leads to mayhem, and the group realizes that if they canât come together to win the game by sunrise, they will be forced to play for eternity â in hell. Starring Jim Mahoney, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Jon Bass, and Sarunas J. Jackson; releasing June 23, 2022.
Director Statement:
GATLOPP started when Jim Mahoney (the writer and a dear friend) told me the story of an unforgettable night he had playing a drinking game with estranged friends and how it brought them back together. He had this great idea that the experience could be turned into a movie by giving the game supernatural powers--I was immediately hooked! We started developing it together and two years later, Jim crafted a hilarious script that felt fresh and modern yet held a nostalgic tone. As a director who is influenced by the 80s/90 saction/adventure movies, like Goonies, Gremlins, and Indiana Jones, the script was a dream to direct. It captured the essence of those entertaining movies by having relatable characters mixed with fantastical set pieces and big laughs. The craziest thing? The story all happens inside a house! â Alberto Belli

The team sits down with Ăsgeir and Anton, the co-directors of "Come to Harm," available exclusively to Fandor this month.
Ăsgeir SigurĂ°sson and Anton Karl Kristensen, the co-directors behind âCome to Harmâ started their filmmaking journey early in their lives. Born in 2000 (Ăsgeir) and 1998 (Anton), they met when they were little through their parent's friendship. One evening when they were bored at a dinner party, they looked to the laptop to kill their time with iMovie and after some experimentation they quickly found that filmmaking was what they were meant to do. After High School they went different paths. Anton moved to the U.S to study filmmaking at The New York Film Academy whilst Ăsgeir went on to make a web series for the National Television in Iceland. While Anton was abroad, Ăsgeir wrote âCome to Harm'' and when Anton came back to Iceland the first thing on their minds was finding a way to produce it. Ăsgeir looked to his old schoolmates who were more than happy to help work on the film. Even though the budget was low, the cast and crew's passion for the project was immense and is the reason the outcome of the film is beyond what they thought could be.
