As a fan of genre films, I was sorry to hear of the passing of Russ Myers. Myers was chiefly known for an output of "B" movies aimed at the drive-in crowd. His "FASTER PUSSYCAT, KILL, KILL" is one that shows up at colleges and movie festivals all around the country.
He also helmed the notorious BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS, which was scripted (at least partially) by Roger Ebert.
