Frank Henenlotter

Frank Henenlotter, born 1950, is an American screenwriter, director, and film historian. He is known primarily for his horror-comedies of the 1980s and early '90s. Henelotter's films were inspired by the exploitation and sexploitation films he loved, the kind which played on 42nd Street in New York City in the 1960s and '70's. His films were low-budget, and filled with gore and special-effects. They were considered by many to be B-movies, but they also turned the conventions of these films upon themselves. Although many of his films are somewhat obscure, his most well-known are "Basket Case", "Brain Damage", and "Frankenhooker". Frank is in post-production on a brand new feature film with R.A. the Rugged Man due out in 2008 called "Bad Biology". Gabe Bartalos is attached doing special make-up effects and Grammy winner Prince Paul is doing the original musical score.

Henenlotter has also collected many old low-budget sexploitation and exploitation films, such as the camp classic, "The Curious Dr. Humpp" (1971). Some films from his collection are available on Something Weird Video.
