Frank Henenlotter
August 29, 1950 (74 years old) in New York City, New York, USA
Frank Henenlotter, is an American screenwriter, director and film historian. He is known primarily for his horror comedies, though he would prefer to be classified as an "exploitation" filmmaker (rather than horror). "I never felt that I made âhorror filmsâ, he has said. "I always felt that I made exploitation films. Exploitation films have an attitude more than anything â an attitude that you donât find with mainstream Hollywood productions. Theyâre a little ruder, a little raunchier, they deal with material people donât usually touch on, whether itâs sex or drugs or rock and roll."
