Do-It-Yourself Texas regional independent filmmaker S.F. Brownrigg might have only made a handful of highly distinctive and peculiar low-budget horror exploitation pictures, but he nonetheless carved out his own singular little niche with his small, yet unique and impressive body of cinematic work. His films are distinguished by a bleak, brooding tone, murky plots, startling twist endings, lively acting from a game no-name cast, shocking moments of gruesome violence, and a pungent and flavorsome down-home backwoods country atmosphere. Born as Sherald Brownrigg on September 30, 1937 in El Dorado, Arkansas, Brownrigg served in the army as a combat photographer and worked on numerous military training films during his tour of duty. Brownrigg first met fellow regional independent filmmaker Larry Buchanan in 1955. Brownrigg collaborated with Buchanan on several movies: He edited "The Eye Creatures" and did the sound on such pictures as "The Naked Witch," "Mars Needs Women," "Zontar, the Thing from Venus," "High Yellow," and "It's Alive!". Brownrigg worked for a spell as the head of the sound department at the motion picture lab Jameson Film Company. Brownrigg achieved his greatest enduring cult popularity with his debut theatrical feature "Don't Look in the Basement," a marvelously grungy and claustrophobic horror psycho winner that was a major drive-in hit in the early 1970's. Brownrigg followed this movie with the sleazy "Scum of the Earth," the moody "Don't Open the Door," and the grim "Keep My Grave Open." His last picture was the low-brow comedy "Thinkin' Big." Brownrigg wanted to make a sequel to Tod Browning's "Freaks," but alas this particular project never got past the planning stage. After his film career came to a close in the mid-1980s, Brownrigg wound up working in television doing such things as golf shows for ESPN as well as various hunting and fishing TV programs. In addition, Brownrigg was the president of the Dallas production facility Century Studios. His son Tony Brownrigg is an actor, writer, director, special effects artist, soundman, and cinematographer and his other son Stacy is a professional soundman. S.F. Brownrigg died at age 58 on September 20, 1996 in Dallas, Texas.- Jeanne Arnold was born on July 30, 1921 in Berkeley, California and raised in San Francisco, the daughter of George and Agnes Kirkman Arnold.

Known for her magnetic stage presence and confident acting style, Arnold had a reputation for total commitment to her craft. Arnold died on September 20, 1996 in Flint, Michigan.

After working few years as reporter and editor in Radio Zagreb, Kresimir Golik joined Jadran Film, newly formed production company, in 1947. After directing few documentaries he finally got chance to direct a feature film. The Blue 9 (1950), being one of the first comedies in rigid postwar years, brought attention of the public. The Girl and the Oak (1955), being stylish dramma, brought appraisal of the critic. In the later years Golik showed even greater genre versatility: he was directing documentaries (_Od 3 do 22 (1966)_ won international awards), experimental movies and assisted his younger colleagues in directing their debuts. Greatest successes of Kresimir Golik came in 70s: _Tko pjeva zlo ne misli, nostalgic comedy about Zagreb in the 30s, was biggest cinema hit in its time and later got cult status. _"Gruntovcani" (1975) (mini)_, television series about rural Croatia, was also immensely popular. In 80s he was less successful, but that didn't take away his reputation of "Croatian Howard Hawks".- Actor

Around the same time, he was able to multiply two three-digit numbers in his head, and amuse visitors with his ability to calculate how many seconds they had been alive. Though he never married or had children of his own, Erdos delighted in children and referred to them as "epsilons." Other examples of Erdos' personalized vocabulary include referring to the Soviet Union and the United States as "Joe" (for Stalin) and "Sam" (for Uncle Sam), calling music, even music he liked, "noise," labeling mathematicians who had stopped doing math as "dead" and the dead as having "left." God, in whom Erdos did not believe, was the "Supreme Fascist" or "SF."
