Kane W. Lynn (1919–1975) was an American film producer who made a number of movies in the Philippines with producer Irwin Pizor and Filipino director Eddie Romero as Hemisphere Pictures, or the House of Horror as they often referred to themselves. Later Pizor quit the company after an argument, and when Romero left to form a production company with actor John Ashley, Lynn tired of making movies and his Hemisphere Pictures became just a movie distributor, mainly handling adult films and low budget B-movies. It was his guidance that kept Hemisphere Pictures solvent and constantly moving forward, releasing a diverse product line of low-budget independent movies from the early 1960s through the mid-1970s. Biography Lynn was a U.S. naval pilot stationed in the Philippines during the second World War and flew a number of missions into Southeast Asia. When the war ended, he decided to live in the Philippines and got a job working for the Navy as a technical adviser on a Hollywood TV show called Navy Log in 1955. Lynn decided to get into the motion picture industry after he met Filipino filmmaker Eddie Romero and the two became very good friends. They decided to produce three films together under the banner of Lynn-Romero Productions....Lost Battalion, The Scavengers, and the first film in what would become known as the Blood Island series, Terror Is a Man. Worried that their films weren't doing well in the United States and other English-speaking countries, beginning with Terror Is a Man, Kane Lynn imported some internationally known stars to appear in his films, such as Francis Lederer and Greta Thyssen. Lynn journeyed to New York in 1963 to meet producer Irwin Pizor of Screen Guild Productions, who agreed to set up a filmmaking partnership with Lynn and Romero to be called "Hemisphere Pictures". They made three more films that didn't do well, Raiders of Leyte Gulf, The Walls of Hell and Moro Witch Doctor. They later made another war film together in 1965 called The Ravagers which starred John Saxon. Film distributor Sam Sherman, who was in charge of creating Hemisphere's advertising material at the time, advised them to quit making war movies and concentrate on making horror films instead, like their critically acclaimed Terror Is a Man. Hemisphere released a 1964 Filipino vampire film called Kulay dugo ang gabi (Blood is the Color of Night) in 1966 and retitled it The
