Where it came from
Published in 2013 by Midnight Marquee Press, this volume serves as a comprehensive critical study of the career of Ted V. Mikels, a prolific and singular figure in American independent and exploitation cinema. The book was conceived to document the technical ingenuity and unique creative vision of a filmmaker who operated largely outside the Hollywood studio system for over five decades.
Author Christopher Wayne Curry approaches the subject by contextualizing Mikels' filmography—ranging from gothic horror to cult thrillers like The Corpse Grinders and The Astro-Zombies—within the evolution of low-budget genre filmmaking. The work provides an analytical look at how Mikels balanced limited production resources with an idiosyncratic visual style, positioning the book as a definitive resource for scholars and enthusiasts of cult cinema history.
