BiographyA veteran of World War I, Esper worked as a building contractor before switching to the film business in the mid-'20s. He produced and directed inexpensive pictures with eye-catching titles like Sex Maniac, Marihuana, and How to Undress in Front of Your Husband. To enhance the appeal of these low-budget features, he included scenes containing gratuitous nudity and violence that led some to label him the "father of modern exploitation."[1] Esper's wife, Hildagarde Stadie, wrote many of the scripts for his films.[2] Together they employed extravagant promotional techniques that included exhibiting the mummified body of notorious Oklahoma outlaw Elmer McCurdy, before it was acquired by Dan Sonney.[3] Esper died in San Diego, California, at the age of 88.[4] He and Hildagarde had two children, Dwain Jr. and Millicent.
