Roger Corman, King of B-Movies, Dies at 98
The prolific director and producer was a trailblazer in the world of independent film, and left a sprawling legacy.
Famously prolific, Corman was behind hundreds of films as both a director and producer, including It Conquered the World(1956), A Bucket of Blood(1959), The Little Shop of Horrors(1960), X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes(1963), and The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre(1967). He also famously directed a string of adaptations of the work of Edgar Allen Poe starring Vincent Price, including House of Usher(1960), The Pit and the Pendulum(1961), Tales of Terror(1962), and The Raven(1963) — all of which earned Corman a reputation as a trailblazer in the world of independent film.
