Sorry to hear it too. Six months ago, I probably would've forgotten his name, but it is in my head because I was watching all the Fridas a couple months ago and watched his commentary to #7 and then decided to check out his work in Prison.

We’ve learned the sad news this morning that legendary filmmaker Larry Cohen has passed away at 77 this weekend. Cohen, officially dubbed a Master of Horror when he was invited to direct an episode of the “Masters of Horror” anthology series back in 2006, wrote/directed cult films It’s Alive, It Lives Again, Special Effects, The Stuff and A Return to Salem’s Lot.

RIP!!! Q is a great film, and God Told Me To is a precedent film. Ironically and sadly this was also around the time on that documentary on him was released.

I just finished watching his It's Alive trilogy a couple months ago, which were fun. Will be missed.

Cohen did a lot more than that. He was a boy wonder who created the television series Branded at 24, Blue Light at 25, and Custer, Coronet Blue and The Invaders at 26. He broke in as a television writer with the Kraft Theatre series at 17.

Scott Walker, RIP. He was a terrific singer. Roy Clark, Hal Blaine and Walker dying in a short window of time marks the passing of an era when talent was what mattered in the recording industry.
