Friedman's niece, Bridgett Everett, said he died of heart failure Monday morning at a nursing home.
Friedman was an independent movie producer who was credited with helping create "gore" or splatter movies. He produced "Blood Feast" in 1963 for $24,500. His niece says the cult classic ended up netting $6.5 million for him and the other investors. Friedman spent much of his career in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. He moved to Anniston in 1988 to be near family.
David Friedman was involved in two Euro-westerns, "Nude Django" (1968) as a producer, screenwriter and actor. This film was a revision of his "Brand of Shame" with additional footage added and re-released as "Nude Django" and "The Erotic Adventures of Zorro" (1972) as producer, screenwriter and actor.
