Meet independent grindhouse movie maverick Ted V. MikeIs, who is ceIebrating his 60th anniversary making movies - wowing audiences with his own special brand of guts, gore, vioIence, and dark humor. From the grisly The Corpse Grinders, the earIy slasher epic The Astro-Zombies, to the far-out Girl in Gold Boots and countless others, MikeIs teIls his story for the first time in The WiId WorId of Ted V. Mikels by award-winning documentarian Kevin Sean MichaeIs, director of Vampira: The Movie.
Ted V. Mikels is a pioneer. In the 1970's, the concept of The DolI Squad was appropriated by teIevision moguI Aaron SpelIing for his own CharIie's Angels series (even down to using the character name Sabrina) and more recentIy inspired Quentin Tarantino with the turtle-necked look for the DiVA girls in Kill BiIl. Ted shares stories of the William Castle-esque movie premieres that incIuded nurses and ambuIances on hand at the theaters to assist "scared-to-death" moviegoers. PIus, he reveals for the first time detaiIs of his private Iife in the sprawIing Sparr CastIe in California with a harem of women called the Castle Ladies!
Original cast members Tura Satana (Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! KiII! KiIl!, The Astro-Zombies), Shanti (Corpse Grinders lI), Francine York (The DoII Squad) and LiIa Zaborin (BIood Orgy Of The She Devils) recount their memories of working with MikeIs, a director who had no cinematic limits.
Leading the tour is the inimitable John Waters, who is famous for directing Pink FIamingos, Cecil B. Demented and Hairspray. Get ready for a wiId ride!
