With the most professional-looking campaign of his career, H.G. Lewis' production of The Prime Time (1960) was the sole feature from its director, the thoroughly competent PSA filmmaker Gordon Weisenborn whom Lewis would later amusingly label a hack. Future Blood Feast partner David F. Friedman was a production supervisor, and cinematography was by Roger Corman alumnus Andrew Costikyan (Beast From Haunted Cave). It also marks the first screen appearance of prolific film fan fave Karen Black (Repo Chick).
