Background

In 1954, American Releasing Corporation was formed by James H. Nicholson and entertainment lawyer Samuel Z. Arkoff, dedicated o releasing independently produced, low-budget and genre films (such as horror, sci-fi, and African-American), primarily of interest to teenagers from the 1950s to late 1970s. In April 1956, ARC merged with global production company International Productions (not to be confused with "International Pictures", which already merged with Universal Studios and formed "Universal-International" in 1946) to form AIP.
