Panos Cosmatos
Panos Cosmatos brought the weirdness that is Beyond the Black Rainbow and Mandy into the world—but he didn’t just spring out of a freaky midnight-movie vacuum. His father was George P. Cosmatos, whose credits spanned the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s, and included Sylvester Stallone vehicles Rambo: First Blood Part II and Cobra, underwater horror film Leviathan, and mustache-bedecked Kurt Russell Western Tombstone. (Not all of those are genre films, but they have their place in the cult pantheon just the same.)
