I just read this over at Bloody Disgusting, and I had to do a double take. I cannot believe this has happened.
Bob Clark - a director I rate incredibly highly - and his son were both killed in a car crash in the early hours of this morning. This is horrible. A shocking tragedy, made all the worse by the fact that their death was the result of a drunk driver. Bob’s son was 22, he was 67.
Clark was responsible for Children Shouldn’t Play With Dead Things, Porky’s, Deathdream, and the magnificent Black Christmas, among other things. His work has inspired generations of film makers, and he will be sadly missed.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
