This week, Charlie welcomes William Lustig - one of cult cinema's real deal heroes - to the Freakshow!

As a director, Lustig made an instant splash in his early 20's helming the still shocking and controversial 1980 psychological slasher MANIAC, featuring gory effects by Tom Savini, and then continued evolving his craft with pictures like the MANIAC COP trilogy, the violent revenge thriller VIGILANTE and RELENTLESS. He also founded and still serves as the CEO of legendary home video label Blue Underground where he has spent decades rescuing and restoring some of the weirdest and coolest horror movies ever made.
