Here is some good view­ing for the horror/cult com­mu­nity — Edwin Samuelson, founder of AVManiacs and host of The Cinefiles, recently con­ducted an inter­view with William Lustig and posted the results to YouTube.  For those not famil­iar with the name, Lustig is a pop­u­lar direc­tor of exploita­tion fare who started the DVD/Blu-Ray label Blue Underground, which issues top-shelf pre­sen­ta­tions of vin­tage exploita­tion fare (and the occa­sional art­house flick).  He offers his can­did views on a vari­ety of top­ics in this piece and also reveals some of Blue Underground’s future plans.  Scan down for the clip and addi­tional info about the clip…

FROM AVMANIACS FOUNDER, EDWIN SAMUELSON:

Here’s a first — a co-production between The CineFiles and AVManiacs.com! In this excit­ing depar­ture from our reg­u­lar for­mat, we present an inter­view with Bill Lustig, direc­tor of numer­ous exploita­tion films, a few of which might be famil­iar to our read­ers such as Maniac, Vigilante, and The Maniac Cop series.

Now the head of Blue Underground, one of the pre­mière DVD and Blu-Ray labels for cult movies, Lustig speaks about how he got into the film indus­try, his influ­ences, get­ting into the video indus­try and even announces a few upcom­ing titles from Blue Underground — some of which will make hor­ror fans very happy. We hope to make this is a semi-regular fea­ture, so if you enjoy the inter­view, please be sure to let us know by com­ment­ing and sub­scrib­ing to our You Tube chan­nel: www.youtube.com/cinefiles.
