Steed Jensen could have been a great producer but he never made it big time. Attack of the Zombie Vampires was his greatest success, and filmgoers that have heard of him will remember him as a man who had the potential for being great.

Jensen was originally a successful businessman, and after making his millions, he started Elcheapo Films and ventured into the lucrative business of adult movies. There he met Trent Dallas, who had come from a failed pop career. They made the classics Teen Nymphos School Day Out, where Trent plays the bus driver and Hot Love in the Bathtub, this time Trent playing the role of the plumber. It was Trent’s enthusiasm for making ‘proper’ features that Steed decided to go legit and make mainstream horrors at the beginning of the Seventies.

After some small-time success of Attack of the Zombie Vampires, it was downhill – films like Carnival of Madness, Disco Vampires from Hell and Memoirs of Tomorrow all made money but each was worse than the other. When Steed died – in a Brighton B&B, sandwiched between two Hawaiian hula dancers (from his latest film Holiday Hell), it was discovered that he had made a lot of money selling to the foreign market. Unfortunately for ex-Mrs Jensens, Steed left his money to a charity.
