I went through a minor obsession with Coffin Joe about 9-10 years ago where I tried to track down everything I could that he'd been involved with. There's still quite a few I haven't seen as I won't bother with them if I can't get subs for them, but at this point it's safe to say I'm pretty familiar with his work. I loved it when I first delved in, it was so different than anything else I'd seen and so harsh considering where it came from and when it was made.
After watching Embodiment of Evil last night I think the Coffin Joe bug might have bit me again. I seem to remember Synapse saying they were going to release some more of his stuff down the road and I'd love to see the early stuff get remastered and hit Blu-ray (wishful thinking?).
Anyone else fascinated by his stuff? I wanna re-read the Mondo Macabro chapter that's about his work later today, just to sift through for inspiration.
