Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson (2019)

In the wake of the shocking 1995 Los Angeles Times headline "Horror Film Director Found Slain, Buried Under Floor," the enigma of Al Adamson's life and chilling death takes center stage. 'Blood & Flesh: The Reel Life & Ghastly Death of Al Adamson' explores the most peculiar trajectory in Hollywood's annals, tracing the footsteps of a boy born to a silent film cowboy, to his transformation into the mastermind behind over 30 startlingly vibrant low-budget flicks, including unforgettable titles like 'Satan's Sadists', 'Dracula vs. Frankenstein', and 'The Naughty Stewardesses'. Revelations from 40 unique perspectives; friends, family, colleagues, historians, and even rare glimpses into Adamson's own words, weave a narrative as enigmatic as the man himself. Rare clips and archival interviews paint a vivid portrait of a life lived in the shadows of Hollywood’s limelight, a dance with death both on screen and off. 'Blood and Flesh' is a captivating ride where bikers, go-go dancers, seasoned Hollywood actors, adult film stars and freak-out girls mingle with the likes of Charles Manson, Colonel Sanders, and tales of alien conspiracies. With a dash of unscrupulous contractors and scenes so grotesque they were previously deemed unfit for the silver screen, this documentary promises a wild journey into the heart of Hollywood's underbelly, exposing a life that was as bewitching off-screen as the horror Adamson brought to life on it.
