Biography:Director/producer "Al Adamson" was famous for making low-budget exploitation and horror films during the 1960s and 1970s. The son of longtime director "Denver Dixon", "Adamson" made his directing debut in 1964 with "Two Tickets to Terror". Subsequent films usually came with more than one title, including Psycho-a-Go-Go/"Blood of Ghastly Horror"/The Fiend With the Atomic Brain/"The Love Maniac", a horror film described in author Michael Weldon's The Psychotronic Encyclopedia of Film (1983) as "an amazingly incoherent mess." The incoherence of many of the director's films came from his tendency to add new or old footage to existing films, then change their titles. His Dracula Vs. Frankenstein (1970) featured the final performances of internationally famous horror veterans Lon Chaney Jr. and "J. Carrol Naish". "Adamson"'s exploitation films include "Blazing Stewardesses" (1974) and "Angel's Wild Women"... Full Biography
