The Eyes of Ray Dennis Steckler

Series Site

"This month at Spectacle, we salute independent auteur Ray Dennis Steckler. After working as a cameraman on b-movie classics like Timothy Carey’s WORLD’S GREATEST SINNER and Arch Hall Sr’s EEGAH, Steckler became the director and sometimes star of his own weirdo genre films. This program highlights his first two features. Both are perfect examples of early 60s drive-in fare; pairing doo-wop interludes with pulpy violence and an offbeat tone. If you squint hard enough it’s nearly Lynchian, folks!" -Spectacle
