American International Pictures, often referred to as AIP, was a movie production company that did many international co-productions and bought U.S. distribution rights to numerous foreign-produced movies as well as producing many low-budget movies. The company was founded by James H. Nicholson, with Samuel Z. Arkoff, in 1954 as American Releasing Corporation, but the company changed its name to American International Pictures two years later. Throughout the 1950s and ’60s, AIP churned out hundreds of films aimed at the youth market, most notably Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe series starring Vincent Price.

It's usually best to give a very general overview to a story first, then plot details. When including the plot or essential details in your article (which could ruin the pleasure of discovery for some readers), it is important to include the spoiler tag before any give-away material.
