They Came from the Swamp: The Films of William Grefe documentary

[NoirFan]

From DVD Drive-In:

The all-new feature-length documentary, THEY CAME FROM THE SWAMP: THE FILMS OF WILLIAM GREFÉ will be available on DVD on April 19th. When it came to independent filmmaking in the sunshine state, William Grefé was the wildest of the wild! During the 1960s and ‘70s, the Miami-based producer/director transformed the darkest corners of the Florida swamps into his own personal backlot. From rampaging crocodiles possessed by an ancient Seminole witch doctor (DEATH CURSE OF TARTU) to a slithering serpent named STANLEY, Grefé would grind out low-budget exploitation films for drive-ins and hardtops around the world. Featuring over 20 interviews, plus a special guest appearance by William Shatner, this explosive documentary was produced and directed by Daniel Griffith (IT WAS A COLOSSAL TEENAGE MOVIE MACHINE: THE AIP STORY). This Limited Edition (1,000) two-disc set features over three hours of bonus materials, including the 1977 film, WHISKEY MOUNTAIN (in widescreen for the first time on home video)! Other features include a NEW documentary short on the history of Crown International, two vintage Grefé short films (one starring Shatner), one vintage promo film, a special Legends Award intro from actor Bruce Campbell, deleted scenes, a Grefé trailer gallery, still gallery and more! The first 100 copies sold will receive a FREE "STANLEY" insert booklet signed by Grefé and Griffith! You can pre-order your copy HERE.
