I know you are usually used to me making this poll all about an actor who passed away this year who had plenty of Monster Crap films to induct, but since no one has died this year that would fit the parameters needed to get this kind of tribute (aka not have been in a Monster Crap induction before and have a litany of choices for me), I have had to go to an alternative and instead, we are going back to someone who passed away in 2023 and yet, I have never done a Monster Crap induction of even one of this gentleman's work.
That man is legendary B movie director Bert I.
