Bret Mccormick Knihy

TEXAS SCHLOCK is an essential guide to a fascinating, overlooked region of cult cinema. Author Bret McCormick knows this territory inside and out, writing not only as a fan but as a filmmaker himself. McCormick perfectly captures the crackpot appeal of low-budget classics like ZONTAR the Thing from Venus and rounds up an amazing rogue's gallery of schlockmeisters to tell their behind-the-scenes tales. If you love B-movies, you need this book right now! -David Szulkin, author LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT: THE MAKING OF A CULT CLASSIC

These men were a part of a conspiracy that reached far back into ancient times. If this was taking place in a Podunk town like Draper, where else might there be branches of the cult? Were they everywhere? Did ancient relics, impregnated with dark energy, line the basements of buildings in Washington, D.C.? How could I fight an organized effort as potentially huge as this one? If I escaped, how could I evade others of their group? Were they controlling everything? Was my hope of freedom just a cruel joke? "Consuela, what will I do once I'm out of here? Who can I go to for help?"She laughed a harsh laugh. It was the kind of laugh people use to mock one another. "If you get out of here. If! You will have to rely on your inner sight. If that fails you, you will die." Meet Sadie Richards. Maybe she's just a little white trash girl from Texas, but she ain't about to let no *****-grabbin' politician tell her what to do!
