Herb Robins

I talked with Herb Robins, director of The Worm Eaters today. Herb acted in many films directed by Ray Dennis Steckler and Ted V. Mikels, such as The Thrill Killers, The Doll Squad, and Sinthia the Devil’s Doll. Herb also wrote Sinthia as well as the play version of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I worked with Herb and Ted V. Mikel’s on a movie called Little Red Riding Hood Saves the Big Bad Wolf when I was younger. I had just started film school, but two weeks on that set taught taught me more about filmmaking than two years in a classroom. It’s a funny conversation with one of my friends and heroes.
If there is anything you thought needed to be talked about and wasn’t, leave a comment and I’ll do a call back with Herb.
Thanks for listening

The above picture was taken on the set of Little Red Riding Hood Saves the Big Bad Wolf. The pose was not my idea, but I remain ever flattered.

One Response to “Herb Robins”

  1. Thank you so much for this rare chance to hear from Mr. Umgar himself! :-)
    I wish you would have also talked about the music in The Worm Eaters, how it came about, who Theodore Stern and David L. Newman were, and how they got involved in the project. Unfortunately there is zero informatiion out there on them. The soundtrack needs to be released officially!
    Mr. Robins apparently has a lot of funny stories to tell. A pity he was not involved in the making of the dvd, he should do an audio commentary for the fans!
