00:00It's a chilling story proving life can be stranger than fiction.

00:14Macabre death.
00:15UFO docudrama.

00:25My claim to fame as a director, we put more on the screen for the amount of money spent
00:31than anybody else did.
00:35Dracula versus Frankenstein.
00:39How many ways can you distort the human mind?
00:44What other director worked with Colonel Sanders, Charles Manson, bikers, and porn people?
00:53A lot of brashers.
00:55Blood and gore.
00:57He was the king of B-movies.
01:00Anybody that says that, oh, some of Al Adamson's movies were good, no, they were not.
01:05Look at some of your great directors, they have never made 32 films.
01:08Obviously he wasn't a great director.
01:09You know, a lot of directors start off making B-movies, but they usually graduate.

01:43Opportunity.
01:44Humans are in blood of ghastly horror.
01:48His business associate, his family, always heard from him at least two or three times a week.
01:53We're looking all over the country.
01:54Maybe he was kidnapped.
01:56We're trying to tell the family everything will be okay, but we don't really know.
02:01Are we filming?
02:02We are filming, yes.
02:05And I'm lying a bit, and I'm saying, Al, I don't know where you are.
02:09If you're sick, if you're dead, if you're whatever, you've got to give me a sign.
02:21It's wild beyond belief.
02:26You can't afford to miss.
