"A lot of people in the movie business don't really know much about movies. They certainly don't know movie history. You have to even find a code when you're talking to [them]; you can't use references that you'd use when talking to somebody who knows movie history." - Joe Dante

"All I do is go off instinct. I don’t have the rules that Jason Blum has. He’s much smarter than I am. I’m just a poor director trying to get by in this terrible world." - John Carpenter #horror #film

"So, West, what kind of medicine are you involved in?" "Death." A terrific alternative poster for Stuart Gordon's legendary 1985 horror film RE-ANIMATOR, created by Matt Ryan Tobin to celebrate its fortieth anniversary. I love this piece. #horror #art

I just heard that actor, writer, filmmaker, painter, audio producer, and Edgar Allan Poe devotee Mark Redfield passed away this morning. We were Twitter friends and both enormous Stuart Gordon fans. I was aware that he had been ill, but this is sad news. Rest easy, Mark. #rip

All things considered, Thomas R. Burman's design for the titular beastie of THE BOY WHO CRIED WEREWOLF (1973) is pretty cool for a monster that has been dismissed as looking like a bipedal Long-Haired Collie. #horror #fx

"When a movie promises us the Prince of Darkness, we expect more than a green thing in a tube that sprays fluids into people’s mouths," wrote naughty Roger Ebert. Well, I disagree! John Carpenter's magnificent scarer, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, was released 38 years ago today! #horror
