In the final part of our epic retrospective on the late great Roger Corman, we chart the birth and huge success of New World Pictures, his subsequent ventures such as Concorde and New Horizons,  and chart his  incredible legacy!

In this chapter we find Corman looking for new cinematic ventures in the late 1960s, and working with a host of future movers and shakers such as Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Peter Bogdanovich, Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese!

In the third chapter of our retrospective, we find Corman in the 1960s enjoying huge success with his cycle of movies based on Edgar Allan Poe, but still breaking new ground with other movies such as the very highly controversial drama The Intruder

In the second part of our retrospective on the life and works of the late great Roger Corman, we chart how he moved from making B pictures such as The Wasp Woman  and cult black comedies such as  The Little Shop of Horrors to bringing a gothic literary classic to the screen.

We pay tribute to the late great Roger Corman, and in this first part of a retrospective on his life, works and gigantic legacy, we discover how he got started in the film business...

In this chapter we explore the discovery of prehistoric megafauna and dinosaurs and the wave of dinomania in popular culture that followed. We investigate the dubious but highly influential report of a surviving pterodactyl, and find the first kaiju in fiction courtesy of Mr Jules Verne!
