One of the masters of drive-in schlock passed away this week, a man whose career was revitalized as a cult hero after the release of RE/SEARCH Publications' well known 1986 treatise Incredibly Strange Films. In fact the title of that book (and its sister books Incredibly Strange Music Volumes One and Two) took their titles from Ray Dennis Steckler's most famous picture, The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964). Steckler not only directed entertaining B films but often appeared in them under the pseudonym Cash Flagg. Other than Creatures, Steckler's most well known pictures are Rat Pfink A Boo Boo (1966) and the classic Arch Hall Jr. programmer of rock n' roll rags to riches to rags - Wild Guitar (1962). That's what's posted above: The entire movie Wild Guitar. R.I.P. Ray Dennis Steckler
