- Additional Crew
Big and burly 6'5" behemoth Paul W. Ehlers was born on November 2, 1949
in New York City. Paul not only made super 8 movies with his friend
Kenny as a kid, but also drew monsters and comics as well. Ehlers gave
an impressively fearsome performance as vicious and murderous backwoods
lunatic Madman Marz in the nifty low-budget slasher cult favorite
"Madman." (Paul was originally hired to illustrate the poster art for
this picture, but was eventually cast as the titular character after
the first actor who was cast as Marz didn't work out.) More recently
Ehlers supplied the opening narration for the documentary "The Psycho
Legacy" and played Dr. Jeckyll in the horror comedy short "Caesar and
Otto meet Dracula's Lawyer." The father of filmmaker Jonathan Ehlers
(who was born during the shooting of "Madman"), Paul is also a designer
of custom fantasy knives and weapons.
