 A special mention in this regard is deserved by a director like Roger Corman, who, working from 1955 to 1971, was known for making low-budget horror films that yielded large box office returns.

 A film definitely worth rediscovering, a classic of horror cinema that I unequivocally recommend to all enthusiasts, but also to those curious to see what a horror film from 1963 could be like without digital special effects and the rivers of fake blood to which splatter films of recent years have accustomed us.
