From 1965 to 1972 Andy Milligan made 20 exploitation movies, including Gutter Trash, Torture Dungeon, Bloodthirsty Butchers, and Fleshpot on 42nd Street. For Milligan -- sadist, misogynist, maniac -- exploitation was no joke; it was his reality. Based on hundreds of interviews, including many with Milligan himself, this is a tale of violence-physical, sexual, psychological. Even the author got sucked in, appearing in one of Milligan's last gore-fests and nearly getting killed. But this book -- profusely illustrated with strange stills -- isn't just about a lunatic with a movie camera. It's also an anecdotal history of exploitation films, the birth of off-Broadway theatre, the Warhol crowd, and the malevolent place called Times Square. The sick secrets revealed here will shock even hardcore grindhouse fans.
