The Creep Behind the Camera
Headline
Q & A with Director Pete Schuermann, Producer Nancy Theken, Actors Josh Phillips & Jodi Lynn Thomas. Introduced by Trace Beaulieu and Frank Conniff of MST3K (Mystery Science Theatre 3K)
Synopsis
The Creep Behind the Camera was an actual filmmaker named Vic Savage; a real scumbag whose only real skill was in his uncanny ability to convince the residents of 1960 Glendale, California that he was making the biggest, the BEST monster movie ever made! The true story of Vic Savage, aka Art Nelson and the making of his monster opus The Creeping Terror (1964) is told in the narrative dark-comedy The Creep Behind the Camera. A hilarious and wholly disturbing look at human nature and delusional demagoguery, The Creep Behind the Camera is a roller coaster ride that takes a nostalgic but cautionary look at the era of drive-in cinema at its very worst.
