Title: Fred Olen Ray Interview Post by: Andrew on October 12, 2007, 03:05:34 PM Fred Olen Ray is a name known to many cult movie fans, though the gentleman has also made films under a number of other monikers. I have always associated him with "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers" and "Bikini Drive-In," but his favorite type of movies are not gore fests filled with naked women.

Thanks for giving the guy his interview Andrew, he sounds like a great man.

I really want to like Ray but his films are hit and miss for me. I only enjoy about 50% of his films. Still, I'm in awe of the guy for accomplishing what he has over the years. Title: Re: Fred Olen Ray Interview Post by: Gerry on October 15, 2007, 10:52:38 AM Great interview, Andrew. Fred is a genuinely nice guy and a class act all around. He has a great love for the classic b-movies...he used to hang out at the old Scifilm board quite a bit ("glory days...") and I always enjoyed his comments.
