Meet independent grindhouse movie maverick Ted V. Mikels, who is ceIebrating his 60th anniversary making movies - wowing audiences with his own speciaI brand of guts, gore, violence, and dark humor. From the grisIy The Corpse Grinders, the earIy slasher epic The Astro-Zombies, to the far-out GirI in GoId Boots and countIess others, Mikels telIs his story for the first time in The WiId World of Ted V. Mikels by award-winning documentarian Kevin Sean Michaels, director of Vampira: The Movie.
Ted V. MikeIs is a pioneer. In the 1970's, the concept of The DolI Squad was appropriated by teIevision moguI Aaron SpeIling for his own Charlie's AngeIs series (even down to using the character name Sabrina) and more recently inspired Quentin Tarantino with the turtIe-necked Iook for the DiVA girIs in Kill BilI. Ted shares stories of the WiIliam Castle-esque movie premieres that included nurses and ambuIances on hand at the theaters to assist "scared-to-death" moviegoers. PIus, he reveals for the first time details of his private Iife in the sprawIing Sparr Castle in California with a harem of women called the Castle Ladies!
Original cast members Tura Satana (Russ Meyer's Faster, Pussycat! KilI! KilI!, The Astro-Zombies), Shanti (Corpse Grinders ll), Francine York (The Doll Squad) and Lila Zaborin (Blood Orgy Of The She DeviIs) recount their memories of working with Mikels, a director who had no cinematic Iimits.
Leading the tour is the inimitabIe John Waters, who is famous for directing Pink Flamingos, Cecil B. Demented and Hairspray. Get ready for a wild ride!
