DIRECTOR ROGER EARL

home Once again, like Francis Ellie, I know little about this director; but there are a few films that I really dig
(Men of the Midway and Gayracula) and of course Born To Raise Hell is an early classic. Any info would
blog be helpful. As best as I can tell, he directed a few films, starting with Born in the mid 70's and did a few in
the mid 80's, and as late as 1989 (including a bisexual one, called Bi-Cep, I think). Most, if not all, of his
pornology films and videos were produced by Terry Le Grand.

directors A bit more info: apparently Mr. Earl lives in Los Angeles and is semiretired. Aside from his "vanilla"
films, Earl has made about 10 S/M films including "Born to Raise Hell." The other S/M films were from
two series he did in Europe called "Dungeons of Europe" and "Bound for Europe." (titles to be added as I

Born to Raise Hell (1974)
DeSimone
Re-released on Marathon Video, known for their "kink" films. CAST: Val Martin - Quave Dalton - Steve
  Jack Richards - John Detour - Eric Lansing - Tiger John - David Andrews. I'm also seeing 1977 as an original
Deveau release date. Bondage, shaving, hot wax, some water sports and fist-fucking (ouch, this guy was yelling!).
plenty of leather, belt-slapping, guys getting bound, and hung from the rafters......... The sound on my copy
  Roger seems a bit distorted, but I think it's intentional, giving it an eerier feel.

Men of the Midway (1983)
contact
Chris Burns runs away from home after his father (Paul Barresi) tries to sell him for sex. Chris joins a
me
carnival, where Tim Kramer pretty much does what Barresi had in mind (the difference is Dad was gonna
sell Chris to nasty old white men, and Kramer sells Chris to hunky young black men!). Fortunately (I
guess) for Chris, the carnival owner falls for him, and they "turn the tables" on Kramer in the final scene.

Includes on location settings. Also, Jack Strider, Beau Matthews, Toby, Donkey Dan, Jeff Powers, Shelly
Williams, Bruce McDonald, Duane MacNuchula
Gayracula (1983)
One of the last great porn films, opening with monks in robes carrying Gayracula's coffin, and Tim Kramer
turning into a bat and flying away just before the monks are able to put a stake through his heart! Part of
the action takes place in 1783, with Kramer having sweaty sex with Steve Collins (as the Marquis de
Suede); but, afterwards, Kramer notices something on his neck that isn't quite a hickey! Then 200 years
later in Los Angeles, they meet up again. While a bit corny, it's consciously so, making it a fun film that
has some fantastic sex. Also starring: Rand Remington, Randal Butler, Michael Christopher, Ray Medina
(AKA Julio Campas, R.W. Stone), Max Cooper (AKA Max Montoya), Doug Weston, Douglas Boston,
David McNeil

*** please note: many VHS copies seem to have close to 20 minutes of missing footage!! -
AAAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!

Fade In (1984)
on video; This is the one with the great Jon King / Gino
Del Mar spiderweb sex scene, with the Hitchcock music
playing (still can't figure out which film it's lifted from!)
Jon is in a spider-webby outfit and black boots, Gino in
these white vinyl boots briefly fucking him, then eating
out Jon's ass, and then sucking him off, even after Jon
cums on his face - very hot! Michael Christopher scene is
odd - just a solo whack-off, but a bit too much dry-ice
smoke blowing, and he's wearing this odd, feathery mask
the whole time! One annoying thing in both this and Fade
Out - when the guy's are stroking their cocks, there's this
dubbed-in "squish squish" too-much-lube sound - it's
rather distracting (my guess it's Ken Holloway in charge
of sound, you hear the same thing in several of his
movies). plus: David Ashfield, Scott Clark, Chris Allen,
Shawn Easton, Dwan. (Daniel Holt - casting director;
Kenneth Holloway - lighting, use of his Pan Pacific
Studios ; Make-Up - Divine!)
Fade Out (1984)
on video; Chris Allen goes to a fortune teller and has his fortune told in a series of sexual encounters,
beginning with Dave Ashfield in a torn-up jeans whack-off scene. Next up, Jon King, looking great getting
fucked (but why is there a bunny on the bed?). It's almost like a cheap, video version of Falconhead, with
guys in masks, dry ice effects, and Mickey Squires emerging from what looks like a bearskin rug! Michael
Christopher, Jon King, Les Price, Mike Carr, John Zephyr, Bill Platt, Ricky Scott, Scott Clark, David
Ashfield, Tony Shapiro, Gino De Mar, Mark Edwards as the fortune teller (also appeared in Job Site), and a
"special appearance" by Mickey Squires.
Chain Reactions (1984)
Daniel Holt, Danny Connors, Davin McNeil, Dune Hanover, Dwan, Harley Andrews, Ken Berquist, Lee
Stern, Les Price, and Rydar Hanson

from HIS Video have these scenes cut.
