NYC Sleaze Special: An Interview with 5 Legendary Filmmakers from New York! Posted: 02 Aug 2010 02:59 PM PDT Personally, I can hardly think of a better location for a gritty old-school horror flick than the dirty, sleazy and trash-filled streets of New York City in the 70s and 80s with its run-down housing blocks, twisted denizens and overall dark and depressing atmosphere... I cant even explain why, but the shabbier the environment in films like MANIAC, BASKET CAST or DRILLER KILLER looks, the more I freakin love it! Its as if those seemingly disgusting and repulsive places convey a very own, twisted aesthetics that, once you got it, totally blows your mind! To revel in my love for good ol NYC sleaze and pay a little homage to some of my fave horror films of all time, I hooked up with five legendary filmmakers from the Big Apple and asked em to share a couple of anecdotes about their teenage days on 42nd street, their shooting experiences in New York and the role this larger-than-life city played in the makings of some of the biggest cult films of the genre... enjoy!

According to the Qu'ran, two creations have free will: humans and Djinn ... Made of smokeless flame, Djinn can be good or evil. One might even take up residence in your Zippo -- any flick of which can change the world in a terrifying instant."
