Best known as the impresario behind the glory days of Anchor Bay DVD and later Blue Underground, Bill Lustig was a New York filmmaker of the Grindhouse era responsible for such notorious yet gritty and (in a way) realistic time capsules of late 70’s/early 80’s New York as Maniac, Vigilante and Maniac Cop. But what you may not know is that Lustig actually had a brief career in adult film to his earliest credits.
