With over 333 titles under his belt (yes you read that right) the man is a legend! Behind movies like Castle Freak, and franchises like Puppet Master, Subspecies, and Demonic Toys, Band is busy with new projects like the Barbie and Kendra movie series filmed during the lockdown. I sat down to talk with Band, who is as nice a guy as you want to meet, to talk about Halloween, his past, his films, and the official Full Moon site where you can learn more about Charles and his projects, watch movies and find all sorts of goodies including a ton of awesome merchandise in the Full Moon store.

The first time that I saw the trailer for Deep Blue Sea 3, I was beyond excited, I’m a sucker for anything that involves sharks. But deep down there was a lingering fear that it would just be another cheesy creature feature. Thankfully, it has real substance. Let’s talk about it.

Using a man-made island as their base, Emma and the team’s study is interrupted by her old flame who needs their help catching a shiver of genetically enhanced smart sharks.
