Born and raised in Baltimore, George Stover spent his early years immersed in cult fandom, even starring in an amateur stage production based on Star Trek after the series' cancellation. But it was when John Waters cast him as the prison chaplain who escorts Divine to the electric chair in Female Trouble (1974) that Stover's career truly started. "The Pope of Trash" subsequently immortalized George as the husband who is smothered to death by the family maid in Desperate Living (1977). Stover then hooked up with another underground Maryland filmmaker, Don Dohler, who featured him prominently in his cult classics The Alien Factor (1976), Fiend (1980), Nightbeast (1982), The Galaxy Invader (1985) and Blood Massacre (1988). (Scenes from Galaxy Invader were even lampooned in an episode of the popular cable comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000, a sure sign of cult success
