Harry Alan Towers (1920 - ) is a British producer and writer (the latter usually under the pseudonym “Peter Welbeck”) who travels the world setting up some pretty terrible films and always manages to somehow get away with it. After working in radio (with Orson Welles) and early TV, he was arrested in America in 1961 for allegedly running a call-girl racket. Jumping bail, he began producing numerous movies, before ending up in Canada in the early 1970s. He gave himself up to the authorities in 1981 and was fined $4,200 before all charges were dropped. His numerous credits include the Fu Manchu series starring Christopher Lee (1965-1968), Sumuru (aka The Million Eyes of Sumuru, 1967), Rocket to the Moon (aka Those Fantastic Flying Fools, 1967), Future Women (aka Rio 70/The Girl from Rio, 1970), Dorian Gray (1970), Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1970), Ten Little Indians (1975), The Shape of Things to Come (1979), Gor (1987), Howling IV: The Original Nightmare (1989), The Phantom of the Opera (1989), Ten Little Indians (1989), Edge of Sanity (1989), Buried Alive (1990), House of Usher (1990), Dance Macabre (1991) and The Mummy Lives (1993). Samuel Z. Arkoff described him as “The blandest guy I ever met.”
