What You Can't See...Can Kill You!
A Criminally Insane Murderer Escapes From The Institution -- By Becoming Invisible!
Nomination Year: 2014
SYNOPSIS: The illegitimate son of a famous actress is in an asylum for murdering his Mommy Dearest. But he studies the occult and learns the art of turning invisible and telekinesis. He then goes after the five beautiful women he went after before (“mommy substitutes” you see). Only a Brady-Dad-looking 70’s maverick cop with nothing left to lose (except his beautiful girlfriend) is smart enough to figure out that the killer…is invisible! So’s the budget.

Directed I Was a Teenage
Werewolf, I Married a
Monster from Outer Space, and
I Was a Crappy Director from the
1950s. Okay, I made that last
one up, but he was at least smart
enough to take his name off The
Astral Factor, which he co-
directed.
Pierce was a combat photographer for the US Navy
during World War II and received several commendations
for bravery under fire. That explains how he had the
stomach to direct such films as Women of the
Prehistoric Planet, but if he were so brave,
how come he's uncredited for The Human
Duplicators, The Navy vs. the Night
Monsters, and The Astral Factor?
Lent his voice to Ratchet in the
Transformers movies, Emil
Hamilton on the "Justice League
Unlimited" show and also Race Bannon on
