"grade-Z" movies: films produced so incompetently, or on such impoverished budgets, that they have no chance of being released through even the sleaziest of regular distribution channels. "Well, sometimes they open on 42nd street for a couple of days," Weldon said," but they close right away, never to be seen in a theater again. The rest of them never make it to theaters at all. To earn back at least some of their money the producers are forced to sell their product directly to TV. As a result, there's almost no information available about these films." Except, of course, for that which Weldon has culled from poring through thousands of outdated "fanzines" and promotion pieces - and, not surprisingly, from countless all-night marathons in front of the TV screen.
