Producer, director, mogul and renowned "B-movie" showman Charles Band has been the first name in low-budget, high-concept genre entertainment for over 40 years.

After forging an early career producing cult classics like TOURIST TRAP, MANSION OF THE DOOMED and the 3D shocker PARASITE, Band started his own studio, Empire Pictures. Through Empire, he produced (sometimes directed) and distributed cult classics like RE-ANIMATOR, GHOULIES, TRANCERS and TROLL, while also acting as a pioneer in the home video market with his now iconic Wizard Video label.

Later, in 1989, Band joined forces with Paramount Pictures to create Full Moon Features, the juggernaut direct-to-video horror and fantasy studio that was responsible for the iconic PUPPET MASTER franchise, SUBSPECIES, CANNIBAL WOMEN IN THE AVOCADO JUNGLE OF DEATH (Bill Maher's first film), HEAD OF THE FAMILY, PIT AND THE PENDULUM, CASTLE FREAK and hundreds of others.
