In the early '90s, straight-to-video horror films flooded the video store shelves. Movies like Ice Cream Man, Puppet Master, Hard to Die, and Chopping Mall were the new cult hits, and filmmakers like Jim Wynorski, Fred Olen Ray, Lloyd Kaufman, and Charles Band became regular household names. The release of these films directly to the consumer allowed for an entire sub genre of films to grow and gain notoriety in a pre-Scream world, before big budgets and flashy editing devoured the market.

At the dawn of the 1980s, there was one serious name in horror and exploitation film criticism: Bill Landis. While other magazines were concerned with behind-the-scenes information, tributes, and SFX tutorials, Landis' Sleazoid Express was one part film journal and one part anthropological study, seriously critiquing the grindhouse movies that played the theaters of 42nd Street while also documenting the dying subculture that had grown up around them.
