살인마 가족
Additional Second Assistant Camera
메탈 밴드 화이트 좀비의 리드보컬이었으며 이미 솔로로도 성공을 거둔 롭 좀비. 그는 메탈 씬에서 베테랑으로 통하는 뮤지션인데, 호러 무비의 열렬한 팬으로 알려져 있다. 팬이라면 알겠지만 그의 앨범을 보면 부클릿의 아트워크나 표지, 그리고 음악적 분위기가 호러무비와 일맥상통하는 측면을 갖고 있다. 자신의 뮤직 비디오를 직접 연출해 오던 롭 좀비가 영화감독 데뷔작으로 만든 작품이 바로 이 이다. 제목에서 연상되듯 영화의 모티브와 캐릭터는 토비 후퍼의 74년작 에서 영감을 받은 것으로, 의 소여 가족과 의 파이어플라이 일가는 흡사한 모습을 보여준다. 색다른 점은 여성 악역 캐릭터가 훨씬 더 부각되어 있다는 것인데, 일익을 담당하고 있는 베이비 역의 세리 문은 실제 롭 좀비의 연인이다. 고어/슬래셔 스타일의 작품.

Bald: The Making of 'THX 1138'
Self
The film features a conversation between Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola, producer of THX 1138. They discuss Lucas' vision for the film, including his ideas about science fiction in general and in particular his concept of the "used future" which would famously feature in his film Star Wars. Intercut with this discussion is footage shot prior to the start of production of THX 1138 showing several of its actors having their heads shaved, a requirement for appearing in the film. In several cases the actors are shown being shaved in a public location. For example, Maggie McOmie is shaved outside the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, while Robert Duvall watches a sporting event as his hair is cut off. Another actor, Marshall Efron, who would later play an insane man in the film, cut off his own hair and was filmed doing so in a bathtub.
