Why he might be annoying:

    When asked what he wanted his epitaph to read, he said: 'He seen somethin' different. And he done it.'
    He shared the nickname 'the Godfather of Gore' with Tom Savini.
    The movie he's most recognized for, 'Blood Feast,' has been described as being 'barely competent.'
    When he was informed that French media outlet Cahiers du Cinema said he should be 'subject for further research,' he said: 'That's what they say about cancer!'
    'Black Love,' which was released in 1972, was the last movie he made until he decided to make a sequel to 'Blood Feast' thirty years later.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had a PhD in English literature.
    He taught courses in mass communications for twenty years and lectured at seminars worldwide.
    'Blood Feast' is seen as the first gory horror movie ever, even inspiring George A. Romano.
    He headed his own consulting firm in Plantation, Florida.
