Britain's Greatest Exploitation Film Director! 
"I deliberately rub people up the wrong way", Pete Walker once remarked, "I want them to come into the cinema and be shocked." And shock them he did. No other British film-maker achieved the level of transgression that Walker regularly delivered to cinema-goers in the 1970s. 
Beginning his career by making 'skinflicks', Walker went on to direct a trio of bona fide horror film classics. House of Whipcord, Frightmare and House of Mortal Sin probe beneath the glossy surface of the permissive society to expose a malevolent underworld of madness, obsession and vindictive violence. 
Making Mischief is the first major critical study of the controversial director, and it has received the full cooperation of Pete Walker and his screenwriters. Extracts from a five hour interview with Walker appear throughout the book which also contains a wealth of previously unpublished photographs and, for the first time, reveals details of the Sex Pistols movie A Star Is Dead, which Walker was about to direct when the Pistols split.

Beyond Terror: The Flims of Lucio Fulci

Glamour model, cover girl and hardcore porn actress - a forthright bisexual (Prime Minister Harold Wilson and Diana Dors were amongst her lovers) who promoted her ideas of sexual openness and equality - she is the single most famous sex star Britain ever produced. Her sex comedy Come Play With Me still holds the record for the longest-ever theatrical engagement in British cinema history. 20 years after her suicide at the age of 33, her films still enjoy massive cult status. Through unprecedented access to the Millington archive, exclusive interviews with her friends, colleagues and family, and the largest collection of Millington movie memorabilia, modeling photographs and private family shots, this is the book on a remarkable life, film career and myth.

Come Play With Me: The Life and Films Of Mary Millington

The first British volume dedicated to the critical consideration of cult movie making from the margins to the manstream. In a series of innovative articles by leading film critics and theorists, the book deals with aspects of the medium including the cult film's definitions, genres, film styles and gender depictions.
