I'm not that deep of a cinephile enough to have seen most of the dude's movies but his credits speak for themselves and his students as well. Dude deserves all the respect.
It never fails to surprise me that he started so many stars onto their careers, and special effects artists we take for granted today, such as James Cameron.
I still get surprised whenever I see his name pop up in films. I watched Dementia 13 a few days ago for my Halloween marathon and it was a delight to see his name in there, even though I wasn’t that much of a fan of the film itself. Hail to the king… of B-horror!
Corman has probably trained more successful actors and directors then any film school ever could. He saw the potential in people and was willing to take chances.
Corman's one of my favourite filmmakers. His '50s monster flicks do nothing for me, but I was won over by his Poe films. They, along with _Bride of Frankenstein_ , are the pictures that convinced me cinema is a legitimate artform.
The king of TH-cam monster movie fandom honors another king. Bravo. I also grew up on Corman's cheapies going way back to the horror-host shows of the 1970s.
Great video! Roger Corman deserves a spotlight. Not only did he pave the way for countless to follow but he made legit great films, especially the Poe cycle ones!
I showed my friend Twice Dead (1988) the other day and he loved it which lead him down the schlock rabbit hole that is home to Corman and his greatness. Gonna send this video to him, next.
Stuff like this is the James Rolfe we deserve, deep insightful dives into not only cinema history but those who built that history and influenced the future of filmmaking. Love when you do this sort of content!
I fondly remember back when Mystery Science Theater 3000 was airing and you could watch them riff on an old Roger Corman movie, then flip through the channels and end up watching a new Roger Corman movie. Those were fun times to watch cable.
James! Could you please do a review of Hatchet or the series itself? I remember you showing a clip of it years ago as an intro to another Monster Madness video, and have been waiting for something since. It fits perfectly in reviving the old-school slasher movies with many horror icons
My favorite film he made was not a horror film. He produced and directed The St. Valantines Day Massacre. It is truly a great, unbelievably historically accurate movie.
You should look up Christoper R Mihm. He's an indie filmmaker from Minneapolis and every year since 2006, he makes a low-budget horror or sci-fi film similar to early Roger Corman films.
It would be amazing if you could have a chat with him! I'm not sure how his health is, but I wish you could have a talk with him before we lose another legend.
I remember watching Carnosaur as a kid in the 90's. That's the only Roger Corman movie I watched though I definitely want to check his movies from the 50's.
I was home schooled growing up and corman was one of my teachers I learned from watching his film that hey you can make a movie with the budget of 20 dollars neat.
James I have a request! You remember "Action 52"? There was an even crappier compilation for the ZX Spectrum called "Cassette 50". The worst collection of games ever released. It would be HILARIOUS to see you review it!

*_Did Corman never do Lovecraft?_*
*When are you going to review the Soulja Boy Console??*
Roger Corman, William Castle, and Ed Wood. The Trinity of B-movies.
OutDEER Gear?
Roger Corman sadly passed away at age 98 on May 9. May his fabulous creations live on. ❤
Just like the Mel Brooks video, I for a second assumed the guy died. It's cool that James pays tribute to living legends he loves
@@markdavid40 jim milton
The man just passed away at 98 years old, and it still feels too soon.
I got some bad news
RIP Roger Corman - The King of B movies (1926-2024).
Farewell Roger, thank you for EVERYTHING.
I'm not that deep of a cinephile enough to have seen most of the dude's movies but his credits speak for themselves and his students as well. Dude deserves all the respect.
Even if you haven't seen a lot of his work you've certainly heard of plenty of them.
RIP Roger Corman
Jeez James, you nearly gave me a heart attack. I thought Corman had died!
Same!
The quickest search I’ve ever done lol
Me too I went on Google
He is 96.
Me too.
I'm currently watching ALL of his movies, I'm on 1957 now. I love Corman!
Haha.
Corman is 92, both of his sons are litigiously suing him, and he’s STILL MAKING FILMS. Complete legend.
He is 96
A couple of those litigious suing's ey...
imagine suing your dad over some nonsense. scummy.
What are they suing him for?
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine Money, of course.
It never fails to surprise me that he started so many stars onto their careers, and special effects artists we take for granted today, such as James Cameron.
"We have a castle and Boris Karloff. Go."
This. This is genius.
RIP Roger. You were one of a kind!
No matter if you love, or hate Roger Corman's movies, there is no denying the mark he's left on decades of cinema. 👍
I absolutely love his works and you're right no denying his legacy on the cinema
Who hates Roger's Movies???
I still get surprised whenever I see his name pop up in films. I watched Dementia 13 a few days ago for my Halloween marathon and it was a delight to see his name in there, even though I wasn’t that much of a fan of the film itself. Hail to the king… of B-horror!
Ed Wood got Bela Lugosi, Corman got Karloff. This could have been an amazing crossover.
Roger Corman, William Castle, and Ed Wood. The Trinity of B-movies.
RIP to Roger Corman
Corman has probably trained more successful actors and directors then any film school ever could. He saw the potential in people and was willing to take chances.
October is the best month for TRUE cinemassacre content!
Paper, watch the original "The Haunting." No blood. No gore, and it will scare the you-know-what out of you.
Mr Corman is one of those figures that deserves more love for his contributions to cinema, culture & entertainment as a whole
RIP
Roger Corman, William Castle, and Ed Wood. The Trinity of B-movies.
The US cinema should give this legend the highest honor they could give while he's still alive...he's more than 90 years old and still strong.
Rip Roger corman
I always enjoy James' take on anything you can tell he really enjoys what he does which is important.
Corman's one of my favourite filmmakers. His '50s monster flicks do nothing for me, but I was won over by his Poe films. They, along with _Bride of Frankenstein_ , are the pictures that convinced me cinema is a legitimate artform.
I like these kind of videos where James talks about something he's passionate about.
Me too , or the other side of the coin when we get some real anger
@@kevinrhea7332 Yes. Anger or frustration. But this is a welcomed type of entry on the catalog, even if it seems they don't get that many views.
Corman really helped to inspire my imagination. Great video covering him and his projects. :)

I got freaked out for a brief period and thought Corman had passed!
Same here, phew.
Dude, same. Wth.
I have so much respect for Roger Corman. His body of work is legendary.
Corman unwittingly gave so much to my favorite show, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and its spinoff, RiffTrax.
James kept talking about him in the past tense, but I was surprised to see he's still alive and kicking at 96.
The only two 50s sci fi directors still alive. Roger Corman and Bert I. Gordon.
Great tribute! As others have mentioned, listening to James talking about things he loves, no matter how obscure is pure youtube gold
Man, I really hope he gets to watch this.
I wish M. Night Shyamalan would have gone full Corman and made like 100 crazy movies in his unique style
Hey that was a great video I didn’t know much about him until now. Thanks man!
RIP to the Legend. 98 years of awesome.
Corman is the man!!!
Great video! Roger Corman deserves a spotlight. Not only did he pave the way for countless to follow but he made legit great films, especially the Poe cycle ones!
Roger Coreman is legendary, thanks for great vid!
Gotta love monster madness. My favorite show of James’ next to board James.
Great video. About to do the biggest binge ever on Rogers work.
This video is especially important now, thank you for putting this together
Great video James!
R.I.P. Mr Corman,
Thank you for a lifetime of entertainment and for making great childhood memories for us all!
I've been really enjoying your Monster Madness series this year. Thank you, James.
Thanks for making this one James. You nailed it, especially at the end.
Cinemassacre really had to scare me like that with the title. I'm glad to see Roger get more and more appreciation all these years later
The story of Roger Corman really makes me wish I went to film school and surrounded myself with people who wanted to film anything.
Great Video James! Bucket of Blood is my favorite. Corman is King. Hope to work with you again some day!
What an utter legend. My favourite filmmaker being talked about by my second favourite filmmaker
I showed my friend Twice Dead (1988) the other day and he loved it which lead him down the schlock rabbit hole that is home to Corman and his greatness. Gonna send this video to him, next.
One of the most impressive things about Corman is that he never lost money on a movie.
My old boss & this tribute is BEAUTIFUL
George Corman. Cannon Films. Italian Cinema. Those were the best days of Hollywood, when films were fun and entertaining.
RIP, Roger Corman! ❤
Stuff like this is the James Rolfe we deserve, deep insightful dives into not only cinema history but those who built that history and influenced the future of filmmaking. Love when you do this sort of content!
Great tribute.
This was so sweet and inspiring!!!
I fondly remember back when Mystery Science Theater 3000 was airing and you could watch them riff on an old Roger Corman movie, then flip through the channels and end up watching a new Roger Corman movie. Those were fun times to watch cable.
Terrific! I love b movies and new Cinemassacre!
James Rolfe presents his latest film My Tribute to Roger Corman, an adaptation of Roger Corman's wikipedia page
Man he’s the guy who paved the way for the 🐐
I love to see these greats get appreciated while they're still with us!
Great tribute , James !
Watching this instead of the dozens of "Cinemassacre Bad" videos. James is an inspiration to me, just as Corman is an inspiration to him.
Such an inspiration. His drive to just keep making movies…and being able to kick-off the careers of several others!
Thank you Mr Corman 🙏🏽👍🏾
When I saw the title of this video, I had to Google Roger Corman to make sure he wasn’t dead. 😂
James, this is awesome!
r.i.p. ROGER CORMAN :(
I absolutely admire the guy who is frugal with his budget.
It's far more impressive to hear how much a producer saved than how much they spent.
James! Could you please do a review of Hatchet or the series itself? I remember you showing a clip of it years ago as an intro to another Monster Madness video, and have been waiting for something since. It fits perfectly in reviving the old-school slasher movies with many horror icons
1:41 Outdeer Gear? My favourite kind of gear!
You should do one of these about James Whale. I think his movies are very entertaining and are mostly regarded as golden era classics.
I love a lot of the Roger Corman films. It conquered the World has never been on DVD.
Thanks James for all the years of great content! Being a fan since the beginning!
Wasted that ¥200 😂
My favorite film he made was not a horror film. He produced and directed The St. Valantines Day Massacre. It is truly a great, unbelievably historically accurate movie.
You should look up Christoper R Mihm. He's an indie filmmaker from Minneapolis and every year since 2006, he makes a low-budget horror or sci-fi film similar to early Roger Corman films.
great tribute!
This is a video I hoped for years it'll come
It would be amazing if you could have a chat with him! I'm not sure how his health is, but I wish you could have a talk with him before we lose another legend.
He produced and directed almost as many films as you James!!
R.I.P Roger Corman 😢
That year he hosted AMC monsterfest was awesome!!! Best by far in my opinion
For the record. These episodes are great
Death Race is one of my favourite movies and Corman is one of my favourites. Thank you for this
I remember watching Carnosaur as a kid in the 90's. That's the only Roger Corman movie I watched though I definitely want to check his movies from the 50's.
“The Terror” is awesome. I love that movie.
Loving the recent videos
R.I.P. Roger Corman 5/9/24.🎃
Rip roger corman stay in peace my man
this was such a great talk, James! I love your deep dives, the passion for film really comes through here.
I watched just a few months ago Carnosaur 1 and 2 and Bloodfist 3. The name Roger Corman always jumps out of nowhere
Can't wait for your Monster movie to come out later in the future.
I was home schooled growing up and corman was one of my teachers I learned from watching his film that hey you can make a movie with the budget of 20 dollars neat.
James I have a request! You remember "Action 52"? There was an even crappier compilation for the ZX Spectrum called "Cassette 50". The worst collection of games ever released. It would be HILARIOUS to see you review it!
I remember The Terror being somewhat highly regarded by TV Guide but I have never been able to sit through it.
keep up the great work james love love the content
Great retrospective 👍
