TORONTO–Prolific B-movie producer and writer Harry Alan Towers, who made more than 100 films working with cult stalwarts such as Christopher Lee and director Jess Franco, died here of heart failure Aug. 2. He was 89. MSTies know him as the producer of the movies in episodes K18- THE MILLION EYES OF SU-MURU, 323- THE CASTLE OF FU MANCHU and 519- OUTLAW. He was also a writer for the latter two movies under the pen name Peter Welbeck.
What a bummer. I enjoyed his first adaptation of “Ten Little Indians” iwth Hugh O’Brien. He deserves our respect for his long career. Not many folks make it that far. I will forgive him for “Castle of Fu Manchu”.

I’ll never forget the Harry Alan Towers song from Fu Manchu nor its brief reprise in Outlaw.
