GOODBYE, ROBERT VINCENT O'NEIL...

You sure knew how to make 'em, producing, directing and writing a string of grindhouse classics.

The Mighty Gorga; What Waits BelowPsycho Lover (The Sins of the Daughter); Blood ManiaThe Sadistic Hypnotist; Bonnie's Kids; Wonder Women; Lady Blue (two swell episodes); Hunter (one swell episode); The Baltimore Bullet; Like Mother Like Daughter; PacoCode of VengeanceDeadly Force; Vice Squad; Jail Bait '93; and of course, the Angel trilogy--they comprise your bold body of rebellious work.

Your style was considered exploitative from the start and now clashes with the cancel-culture vibe, but it sure holds a lotta weight among those who know better. Thanks for doing it all so right, Mr. O'Neil, and because of your defiant prowess, your legacy lives on.
