In 1987 Charles Band directed PulsePounders, an anthology film comprised of three 30 minute sequels to the biggest hits of Empire Pictures: H.P. Lovecraft`s The Evil Clergyman, a Trancers sequel, and a sequel to The Dungeonmaster. Pulsepounders was shot and edited in 1988 before circumstances prevented it from being released. In addition the original 35mm negative for the 3 episodes has never been found. For the last 25 years, fans have been excited to see any footage from this lost treasure.
