Roger Watkins

Roger Michael Watkins (September 17, 1948 – March 6, 2007) was an American film director best known for the 1970s grindhouse movie Last House on Dead End Street. He also directed several adult films, working with pornographic actors such as Jamie Gillis, Vanessa del Rio, and Samantha Fox.

The Internet Movie Database lists a number of Watkins' aliases (see the information box at right), most of which seem to have been used in Last House on Dead End Street to conceal the fact that he worked in several capacities on that film (director, actor, writer, editor, and producer).
