The Electric Chair: An Interview with Jerry Whittington (2016)

*** (out of 4)

This twelve-minute interview with Jerry Whittington has him discussing the 1976 film THE ELECTRIC CHAIR, which was directed by the cult figure J.G. Patterson, Jr.. In this featurette he starts off talking about how he got into collecting posters and stills and from here he talks about his early days working in a theater and how this led him into working in films. From here we get to hear some stories about THE BODY SHOP (1972) as well as more detailed stories on THE ELECTRIC CHAIR. If you're a fan of either film then this featurette will certainly have enough interesting stories to make you want to watch it. There's really not too much out there on this era of filmmaking or the regional work in North Carolina so what stories are told here are worthy of hearing.
