To my surprise, he directed "Secrets of a Psychopath" in 2015 - more than a quarter-century after his previous movie!

Bert I. Gordon, the professed king of the monster movies whose B pictures featured giant rats, giant spiders, giant grasshoppers, giant chickens, a colossal man and 30-foot teenagers laying waste to everything in sight, died on Wednesday in Los Angeles. He was 100.

His daughter Patricia Gordon confirmed the death.

As anxieties over nuclear testing and the effects of radiation swept postwar America, Mr. Gordon embarked on a low-budget filmmaking odyssey that turned mutated monsters loose on the hapless world. Despite the fact that his movies featured stars like Ida Lupino and Orson Welles, and despite the eye-catching apocalyptic titles and lurid posters, he generated many flops, a few minor hits and largely negative reviews. He also generated a cult following.

In the 1950s and early ’60s, his monster movies were perfect for drive-in theaters, where audiences took in wildly improbable plots, silly dialogue and crude special effects: locusts overrunning a miniature city, a gigantic rat hovering over a girl in a negligee, Ms. Lupino being eaten by vast mealworms...

I reviewed a few of his movies, a lot fewer than might be expected. He was in all likelihood one of the more competent actual B movie producers. This was the closest thing I did to a "tribute". And yes, he did do a '70s sex comedy...

Reading on, "He was called Mr. B.I.G." But not all of his
films were about giant things or people. Most of them?
