Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Sam Irvin, Award Winning Director, Author “I Was A Teenage Monster Hunter!”

About Harvey's guest:

Today’s guest, Sam Irvin, is a multi-award-winning filmmaker, screenwriter, author and educator whose love of horror movies as a child made him determined to meet and get to know the people who made those movies.

As a young teenager he produced a hugely popular fan magazine called “Bizarre”, dedicated to celebrating and promoting horror movies and the people who made them. Through a combination of ingenuity, tenacity, luck, and sheer force of will, he was able to meet, interview and sometimes befriend dozens of legendary stars including Vincent Price, Ingrid Pitt, Peter Cushing, Jane Seymour, Christopher Lee, Diana Rigg, Robert Morley, Michael York, and many others. And get this – by the time he was 13, he had already met a whole slew of big stars – everyone from George Burns, Jane Russell and Natalie Wood, to Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis and Robert DeNiro.

The fascinating journey of his remarkable youth as a self-proclaimed “professional groupie”, is the subject of his memoir entitled, “I Was a Teenage Monster Hunter: How I Met Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and More.” The book is a must-have for horror movie fans, because it contains the full text of his fabulous interviews with members of horror movie royalty at the pinnacle of their popularity.

Our guest began his filmmaking career as an assistant to legendary director Brian DePalma, working on the classic movies “The Fury” and “Dressed to Kill”. Since then, he has directed over 50 films including “Elvira’s Haunted Hills”, “Guilty as Charged”, “Oblivion”, “Out There”, “Acting on Impulse”, “Backlash: Oblivion 2”, “Magic Island”, “Fatal Acquittal”, and “Kiss of a Stranger”, which he also wrote. For television, he’s directed “Strip Mall”, “From Here on OUT”, “My Sister is so Gay”, and “Dante’s Cove”. He also co-produced the Academy Award winning movie, “Gods and Monsters”, as well as “The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy”, and the brilliant “Home Movies”, directed by Brian DePalma.

And if all of that weren’t enough, he wrote the acclaimed biography “Kay Thompson: From Funny Face to Eloise”, which led to being a consultant on Liza Minnelli’s Tony Award winning Broadway show, “Liza’s At the Palace”.

He’s also written 3 other books: “The Epic Saga Behind FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY”, which provides a fascinating account of the making of the groundbreaking 1973 TV movie; he’s written a novel entitled, “ORBGASM: An Erotic Pulp Sci-Fi Satyricon”; and he wrote a hilarious children’s book called “Sam's Toilet Paper Caper!” He has also taught graduate courses on filmmaking at USC, and over the years he has won FOUR prestigious Rondo Awards.
