STRANGE WORKS FROM THE WITHERED PEN OF DAVID MCGILLIVRAY

David McGillivray became a minor cult figure in the 1970s because of his screenplays for sexploitation films such as House of Whipcord, Frightmare, Satan's Slave and Terror. The film critic of Time Out described Satan's Slave as "another absolute stinker from the withered pen of David McGillivray." The view of the Hampstead and Highgate Express was that  "David McGillivray has contributed more than most to the degeneration of the cinema.” After a long period working in theatre, radio and other media, McGillivray returned to cinema in 2004 with a series of horror shorts, seven of which were later joined together as Worst Fears. He later produced two documentaries about film maker Peter de Rome - Fragments and Peter de Rome: Grandfather of Gay Porn - and the silent fantasy Trouser Bar, written in 1976 by one of de Rome's celebrated fans. He has written the screenplay of Robin Maugham's scandalous novel, The Wrong People, which is currently in pre=production.
