  • Al Adamson (July 25, 1929 - June 21, 1995) was a prolific director of B-grade horror films throughout the 1960s and 1970s. After assisting his father in making the 1963 movie Halfway to Hell, Adamson decided to work in the motion picture industry. Three years later, he and Sam Sherman founded Independent-International Pictures, which became the vehicle for the many movies he directed. Among them are Psycho-A-Go-Go, Satan's Sadists, Horror of the Blood Monsters, Dracula vs. Frankenstein, and Five Bloody Graves. Adamson quit the filmbusiness in 1983 and had a second and quite successful career in real estate. He was married to actress/dancer Regina Carrol - a frequent star in his film - from 1972 until her death from cancer in 1992. In 1995, due to the rediscovery and re-evaluation of his body of work, Adamson was reportedly set to make a return as director when suddenly he disappeared. After Adamson was reported as missing for five weeks in 1995, law enforcement officials discovered his murdered corpse beneath the concrete- and tile-covered whirlpool bath in his newly remodeled bathroom. The perpetrator was his live-in contractor Fred Fulford. After being apprehended in Miami Florida, Fulford was charged with and convicted of murder, and was sentenced to twenty-five-years in prison. Adamson was married to actress Stevee Ashlock. (en)

  • Al Adamson, född 25 juli 1929, död 2 augusti 1995, var en amerikansk filmregissör som gjorde lågbudgetfilmer under 1960- och 70-talen. Hans filmer var exploitationfilmer inom genres som skräckfilm, science-fiction och blaxploitation. Vissa av hans filmer var hopplock av tidigare ofärdiga filmer och dessa filmer hade därför inte alltid helt logiska handlingar. Efter att ha rapporterats försvunnen hittades hans kropp inmurad under badkaret i sitt hem. Hans mördare var en byggarbetare vid namn Fred Fulford, som Adamson anklagat för stöld. (sv)
