Girdler's debut feature comes with a whole lot of Something Weird goodness. I did the commentary and liner notes, too. The first DVD with special Girdler features.

Day of the Animals is a fun 70s 'Man Vs. Nature' flick. Highlights include Leslie Nielsen acting like a racist, sex-starved Jerk ... and flying rats.

William Girdler supplied the rather unforgettable soundtrack here. Girdler's studio also helped with Body Shop's post-production. Pat Patterson provided FX for 3 on Meathook.

The Manitou was a best-selling sensation in the mid-seventies, and became the basis of Girdler's last film.

This contains a review of Abby and a nice press picture. You can't call yourself a cult movie fan if you don't own the Psychotronic volumes.

Not quite as tight as 'What It Is' but still worthwhile reading if you love Black cast flicks of the 70's.

Herschell Gordon Lewis was retreating from filmmaking just as Girdler's star was on the rise. Pat Patterson (HGL's gore guru later) worked on Girdler efforts.

Wes Craven's debut masterpiece touched just about every horror film that emerged in the 70's.

A rather pricey book, but it contains a brief Girdler bio.
