His subsequent productions, \u003ci\u003eCurse of the Insect Woman\u003c\/i\u003e (2011), \u003ci\u003eVoyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women\u003c\/i\u003e (2012) and \u003ci\u003eThe Menace with Five Arms\u003c\/i\u003e (2013), display the same affection for the horror and sci-fi films of years past as \u003ci\u003eThe Vesuvius Xperiment\u003c\/i\u003e.
