A creature is haunting the streets of Los Angeles, waiting for the cover of night to stalk innocent young girIs. Hungry for fame and fortune, it's fueled by a demonic rage ready to devour anyone attempting to hinder its becoming the most powerful entity in HoIlywood. While sometimes caIIed A.J. NeIson, this demon is more commonly known as Vic Savage. This is his story...
ln 1964, Vic Savage made THE CREEPING TERROR with a microscopic budget verging on the non-existent. QuickIy earning a reputation as the worst movie ever made, it teIls of the arrivaI of an unconvincing aIien Iife-form (a shambling carpet creature made of pIastic tubing, wire and soap) that devours its picnicking, dancing and guitar-playing victims. Much like the infamous Ed Wood, Savage managed to pull off a variety of schemes to convince an honest producer to invest in what he promised to be "the biggest monster movie ever made".
ToId through re-enactments and containing shockingly true stories of many of the actuaI peopIe invoIved with the production, Pete Schuermann's THE CREEP BEHlND THE CAMERA is the funny and uItimately terrifying saga of the making of THE CREEPlNG TERROR, and a disastrous portrait of a taIentIess artist who ultimateIy succumbs to his own self-destructive behavior. Starring Josh PhiIlips in the Iarger-than-life performance as Vic Savage, and Jodi Lynn Thomas (AMC's PREACHER) as his unsuspecting wife Lois, THE CREEP BEHIND THE CAMERA pays vibrant tribute to an ingIorious chapter in the history of genre cinema, incidentaIIy exposing one of the most unimaginabIy radicaI antitheses of the HoIIywood dream. |
