THE BEAST OF THE YELLOW NIGHT was originally a Hemisphere project; the irony is that Corman needed a quick co-feature for it and ended up licensing CREATURE WITH THE BLUE HAND from Sam Sherman, who was producing BRAIN OF BLOOD for Hemisphere at that point because the company had lost BEAST and didn't have a new horror movie for the drive-in season!<br /><br />THE BIG DOLL HOUSE was third. BEAST co-billed with ALTAR OF BLOOD was to be next, but there was some licensing issue that necessitated the deal with Sherman so I think BURY ME AN ANGEL may have come out before the BEAST/CREATURE combo. ANGELS HARD AS THEY COME, PRIVATE DUTY NURSES and THE VELVET VAMPIRE/SCREAM OF THE DEMON LOVER combo were all in circulation by the summer of '71.<br /><br />GAS-S-S-S was never handled by New World.Temple of Schlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054224371623000524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-34693876518544579302010-11-09T17:57:20.725-06:002010-11-09T17:57:20.725-06:00Conundrum.

Mark McGee's Corman biography implies BEAST was the first New World production, but doesn't explicitly say so. Christopher Koetting's more recent MIND WARP: THE FANTASTIC TRUE STORY OF ROGER CORMAN'S NEW WORLD PICTURES says ANGELS DIE HARD was the first, followed by STUDENT NURSES, GAS-S-S-S (picked up from AIP?), and BURY ME AN ANGEL. MIND WARP says BEAST OF THE YELLOW NIGHT, THE BIG DOLL HOUSE, and CREATURE WITH THE BLUE HAND came out next in April 1971.Marty McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084642122976337263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8707040.post-11948891157517319652010-11-09T17:20:33.292-06:002010-11-09T17:20:33.292-06:00THE STUDENT NURSES and ANGELS DIE HARD were the fi...THE STUDENT NURSES and ANGELS DIE HARD were the first two New World Pictures releases to hit theaters.
