Director, Screenwriter Born: May 12, 1930 Biography:Jesús Franco began directing low-budget films in the late '50s, and, by the '60s, found his specialty in horror movies. His 1962 Gritos en la Noche (aka "The Awful Dr. Orloff") found many admirers internationally, and spawned several sequels. A prolific filmmaker, "Franco"'s lurid shockers embrace almost every horror subgenre: Frankenstein (La Maldicion de Frankenstein); vampires ("Count Dracula"); psycho killers ("Jack the Ripper"); the occult (El Procesco de las Brujas [aka Night of the Blood Monster]); Fu Manchu ("The Castle of Fu Manchu"); and satanism (Lorna, The Exorcist [aka Les Possédées du Diable]). "Franco" often combined eroticism and horror (El Case de las Dos Bellezas [aka "Sadisterotica"]; Necronomicon -- Getraumte Sunden [aka "Succubus"]), and exhibited a fondness for women-in-prison exploitation films ("99 Women" [aka "Isle of Lost Women"]; "Caged Women" [aka Barbed Wire Dolls])....
