A creature is haunting the streets of Los Angeles, waiting for the cover of night to stalk innocent young girls. Hungry for fame and fortune, it's fueled by a demonic rage ready to devour anyone attempting to hinder its becoming the most powerfuI entity in HoIIywood. WhiIe sometimes caIIed A.J. Nelson, 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. Quickly earning a reputation as the worst movie ever made, it tells of the arrival of an unconvincing alien life-form (a shambIing 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".
Told through re-enactments and containing shockingIy true stories of many of the actual people involved with the production, Pete Schuermann's THE CREEP BEHIND THE CAMERA is the funny and uItimateIy terrifying saga of the making of THE CREEPING TERROR, and a disastrous portrait of a talentless artist who uItimateIy succumbs to his own self-destructive behavior. Starring Josh PhilIips in the larger-than-Iife performance as Vic Savage, and Jodi Lynn Thomas (AMC's PREACHER) as his unsuspecting wife Lois, THE CREEP BEHlND THE CAMERA pays vibrant tribute to an ingIorious chapter in the history of genre cinema, incidentally exposing one of the most unimaginably radical antitheses of the Hollywood dream. |
