TerrorVision is turning 40, and we’re celebrating with director Ted Nicolaou, the filmmaker behind one of the strangest and most memorable cult horror movies of the 1980s.

In this wide-ranging interview, Nicolaou looks back at the making of TerrorVision, from the film’s bizarre concept and creature effects to its distinctive 1980s personality and the experience of making a movie that has developed such a lasting cult following.

Nicolaou also talks about his work on the Subspecies franchise, including the making of the original film and his experiences shooting in a post-revolution Romania, as well as his long history with Full Moon and Charlie Band. He shares stories from his years working in the world of low-budget genre filmmaking and reflects on the unique approach that made Full Moon such an important part of 1980s and ’90s horror.

Find more from Ted Nicolaou is on Substack. He's currently exploring his other cult hit, Subspecies, and the trials and tribulations of producing a low budget movie in a post-revolution country.
