Charles Band
Charles Robert Band (born December 27, 1951 in Los Angeles, California) is an American director, writer, and producer, mostly known for his work on horror films.
He is the son of director-producer Albert Band, and brother of the composer Richard. With his former wife Meda, he had two children, Alex, the vocalist for the band The Calling, and Taryn (he also had two more sons with his former wife Debra Dion, Harlan and Zalman). Band's grandfather was the artist Max Band.
His most famous films are those in the Puppet Master franchise and the Subspecies series, made by his company Full Moon Features. Before Full Moon Features, his earlier (and now defunct) company Empire Pictures made films like Ghoulies and the cult classic Re-Animator.
One of the few non-horror films he worked on was the Prehysteria trilogy, which were made by his family oriented company Moonbeam Entertainment.

“Mead had studied for the ministry, but had lost his faith and took great delight in blasphemy. Capt. Charles H. Frady, pioneer missionary, held a meeting here and brought Mead back into the fold. He then became so devout that, one Sunday, when he happened upon a swimming party, he shot at the people in the river, and threatened to kill anyone he again caught desecrating the Sabbath.”

The hills and waters o’er,
When a band of exiles moored their bark
On the wild New England shore.”
