In August 1959, Cha Cha Records released their debut single, "99 Chicks"/"Be-Bop-A Jean." These tunes and 26 other tracks were reissued by [[Norton Records]] on the 1996 CD ''99 Chicks''; the album was released on vinyl in 2005. In the Hollywood B-movie industry, Haydock was an actor and screenwriter, working with director [[Ray Dennis Steckler]]. He also worked as a magazine editor. Haydock used a variety of [[pseudonyms]], including '''Arnold Hayes''', '''Lonnie Lord''', '''Vin Saxon''', '''Don Sheppard''' and '''Jerry Lee Vincent'''. As Vin Saxon, he was the author of adult fiction paperbacks during the 1960s. As Arnold Hayes, he wrote graphic stories for [[Warren Publishing]]. Haydock was allegedly responsible for discovering actor Edgar Aghassi and setting him on a career in cult horror films. [[File:Grave of Ron Haydock (1940β1977) at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery, Justice, IL.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Haydock's grave at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery]] In 1966, Haydock, suffering from depression, moved back to Chicago. In 1967, he recorded some acoustic demos, including "Rock Man", with lyrics about [[Gene Vincent]], which was made as a tribute. Through the 1970s he kept writing novels and comics, and continued acting. On August 14, 1977, Haydock was struck and killed by a truck driver while hitchhiking after visiting Steckler in Las Vegas; he was 37. He was buried at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery in Justice, Illinois. Norton Records' [[Miriam Linna]] has written extensively about Haydock for liner notes, magazine articles and the book ''Sin-A-Rama'' (2004).{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} == Filmography== *''Terror in the Snow'' (1973, never completed) co-starred Edgar Aghassi *''[[Blood Shack]]'' (1971) ....
