Chester Novell Turner (born September 30, 1946) is an American filmmaker known for his blaxploitation horror films Black Devil Doll From Hell and Tales from the QuadeaD Zone.
[5] Prior to creating Black Devil Doll From Hell and Tales from the QuadeaD Zone, Turner wrote several horror stories and worked in the home remodeling business.
[8] He would later describe the experience as unpleasant, as Turner was unable to tell how many videos the company sold and potentially received far less than what he was actually owed.
[10] After releasing both films, Turner shifted his focus back to his home remodeling business and to raising a family.
[6] He remained unaware that his movies had achieved a cult following, as his fanbase was unable to locate him until about 2013, when Louis Justin of Massacre Video tracked Turner down in order to gain permission to release both films to DVD.
