Roger Corman interview: \u2018Horror today just gets gorier and gorier\u2019<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Roger Corman, director and producer of hundreds of films including 1960\u2019s Little Shop of Horrors, <\/em>has died aged 98<\/em><\/a>. In this 2013 interview from The Telegraph\u2019s archives, he spoke candidly about his long career, and the state of contemporary horror cinema.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 87 years old, Roger Corman is a twinkly gent. He walks with a pronounced stoop, and speaks in careful, precise sentences, making considerable effort not to waste a word. It\u2019s hard to believe the career this benign legend has had, not to mention the careers he\u2019s given others \u2013 he gave Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Fonda,\u00a0Jonathan Demme<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way, Corman has written a handful of films, directed 56, had a couple of dozen, mostly uncredited acting cameos, and produced, in some capacity, about 400 movies. The titles include some of the most wonderfully lurid in film history \u2013 take 1957\u2019s Attack of the Crab Monsters, or The Wasp Woman (1959), or Ilsa the Tigress of Siberia (1977). Astonishingly, he\u2019s still working \u2013 something called Dance with a Vampyre would appear to be in production now \u2013 though he hasn\u2019t directed a film himself since 1990\u2019s Frankenstein Unbound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
