When a once‑lost B‑movie resurfaces, it doesn’t just cough up footage — it tells a life story. In this episode Kent Hill sits down with director Mark Terry to trace the strange, gritty odyssey of Samurai Priest Vampire Hunter: a 2009 release that vanished into the HD transition, only to be resurrected years later through obsessive restoration, new scenes, and the magnetic presence of Tim Thomerson.
Listen as Mark recounts scraped budgets, Russian‑arm camera miracles, stunt‑filled car chases, near‑casts that might have changed everything, and the oddball moments that made this film a cult treasure. It’s a behind‑the‑scenes road movie about making movies — full of humor, nostalgia, and the thrill of bringing a legend back to life.
