Dan Curtis RIP

« on: March 29, 2006, 09:04:49 PM »

I just found out that Dan Curtis died two days ago from a brain tumor. He was 77 (would have been 78 in August). Dan's contributions to TV are numerous - his biggest probably being Winds of War/War and Rememberance and Dark Shadows. Dan even directed 2 tv-movies that were released last year.

Oh no . . . one of the great "trash" TV directors. I'm not sure who made more TV horror movies: Dan Curtis or Curtis Harrington. But they both deserve to be in the B-movie Legion of Honor!

Dan rests with Darren McGavin now.
Hmm that sounds odder than intended . . . .
Anyway, I admired Curtis' work, from Dark Shadows to Trilogy of Terror (the original and 2), The Night Stalker/Strangler to the last, Our Fathers in 2005. He had a signature style all his own.

RIP, Dan.
