Frank Henenlotter
 

The guy responsible for the Basket Case movies and Frankenhooker. I just saw another flick of his, Brain Damage. It was so weird! A little blue monster attaches to a guys neck and injects him with hallucinagenic drugs in return for the guy getting him human brains.
He hasn't done any movies in a while though. I enjoyed his NYC scenes and black humor.

I started a thread about ole Frank when I first joined the board. NO ONE responded. Guess no one recognizes genius when they see it.

Brain Damage is my fav. film of his. I love Elmer, he cracks me up when he's singing in the bathroom. It's probably the best anti-drug horror film with a message. Or it could be the only one.

I heard a rumor that he may return to directing very soon. I'll keep you posted if I read anything else about it.

Right on Avenger! I think we share many tastes :D
I think i liked Frankenhooker best by him, but Brain Damage is second. Definitely weird! I found it in my 'mom and pop' video shop but i haven't seen it anywhere else. It's shame when good movies are hard to find. I still need to see Basket Case 2.

Yeah, Basket Case 2 is pretty damn funny. I can't recommend the third one though. It's just a lame third installment...just my opinion though.

I like Frankenhooker a whole lot. I read somewhere that he was directing again, too. Doesn't he run Something Weird Video?

^^ Haha, good pic of the little penis monster.

penis monster?

That's just what I call him. He looks like a cross between a blue turd and a penis.

lol, i thought it kinda looked like an eel sushi thing, but turd penis is cool. ;)
