TV’s Double Take, premiering on the late director’s birthday (April 5), and we talked to Gillis recently about lessons he learned from Corman, plus memories from the set of 1986’s heavy metal Halloween classic Trick or Treat, and more.
Shout! TV’s new original series Double Take, featuring celebrity guests hosting and curating themed double features, is back with an all-new episode celebrating legendary director Roger Corman’s birthday.

The marathon will include Battle Beyond The Stars and Galaxy of Terror, both notable Corman films that Gillis worked on, alongside other future filmmakers including James Cameron.
