It's Alive with Shep Gordon (2015)
*** (out of 4)
Producer Shep Gordon is the focus of this twelve minute featurette that can be found on the Shout Factory! release of SHOCKER. He talks about how he got into producing and how the company he formed had some Oscar-winning art house films but no one was going to see them. He then talks about approaching John Carpenter and Wes Craven and making them a deal that they could make whatever they wanted and have free control over everything. For the most part this is another good featurette from the company as Gordon goes into nice detail about the studio system at the time and the various issues movies could run into thanks to a studio butting into them. He also talks about what it was like making such a great deal to Carpenter and Craven. Fans of SHOCKER, THEY LIVE, PRINCE OF DARKNESS and THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS will enjoy this view into what got the directors to make the films.
