Interesting facts

  • Based on: The Astrologer

The Astrologer is a 1975 American horror film directed by James Glickenhaus and starring Bob Byrd, Mark Buntzman, and James Glickenhaus.

Production

The film was based on the book The Astrologer written by John Cameron, James Glickenhaus's future father-in-law.

Glickenhaus made a deal with Cameron for the book, wrote the screenplay.

Glickenhaus says that he made the movie for about $20,000. "I'd inherited some money," Glickenhaus told The New York Times, "and I took all of it and lost it making a movie called 'The Astrologer.' I'd been to film school, but film school was oriented more toward the avant-garde in those days, and I didn't really know what a master was or a cutaway or a closeup. And I had great trouble conveying ideas, except in dialogue.

The film's soundtrack was composed by Brad Fiedel, in his debut.
