Joel M. Reed is an American film director, producer and writer.

Reed is best known for directing the controversial Blood Sucking Freaks. Blood Sucking Freaks was a notorious horror comedy that has since achieved cult status but upon its initial release was the subject of protests.

Reed is also known for the films The G.I. Executioner, Career Bed, Blood Bath, and Night of the Zombies.

Reed wrote and directed Blood Bath (Terror, Night and the City) which was produced by the Trans-Orient Entertainment Corporation and had a budget of $100,000. In a 1974 interview with The New York Times, he described the film as a "contemporary, episodic occult-horror adventure". Harve Presnell starred in the film as a producer of horror films who arranges in his studio a Black Mass.

In May 2012, Reed signed with Polus Books beginning with his short story Zombie Wall.

Sean Weathers stars as struggling filmmaker, Alan Smithee, a lothario that uses what little fame he has to seduce wanna be actresses into sleeping with him. Alan's problem is that he records his conquests on his camera phone and once it gets mysteriously hacked and the videos and photos are uploaded online, his trysts become public for the world to see. The fallout from this leads him down a dark and deadly path. The film is notable for being based on the real life Fappening and for starring B movie icons Tina Krause, Lloyd Kaufman and Joel M. Reed who was fresh off of his own real life sex scandal.
