Roger Corman is one of those rare Hollywood gems that finds their talent early and sticks with it for life. To date, he has 412 producing credits, 56 directing credits and nine writing credits. But even with so much experience, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of most of his films. Roger Corman is affectionately referred to in the film industry as the "King of the B-movies" or the "Pope of Pop Cinema." He has produced lesser-known films with titles like Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader, The Slumber Party Massacre, Galaxy of Terror and Sharktopus (it’s exactly what you think it is). Of course, he also has a few you have definitely heard of, including cult classics like Death Race, The Swamp, The Terror and Little Shop of Horrors. He is one of the great pioneers in film history and is considered among the most important figures in the industry.
