RIP Andrew Prine. My co-star on V, and the TV movie MIND OVER MURDER, where his performance was the one of the inspirations for my Freddy character. I’ve been a fan of his since THE MIRACLE WORKER.

Two new, fresh horror movies for Halloween! HATCHING, a suburban mother-from-Hell horror fantasy with a superb cast and subtitles. Plus the claustrophobic BARBARIAN with great work from Bill Skarsgäard (IT), Justin Long (JEEPERS CREEPERS) and my buddy Richard Brake. More mommies!

I’ve heard every town has an Elm Street. Do you suppose there’s one in Lexington, KY? I’ll find out this Halloween season at Scarefest October 21 - 23 Hope to see you there!

Was delighted to meet director Hanna Bergholm at the Sitges film festival in Spain last week. She directed the best film I’ve seen this year, HATCHING. Keep an eye out for it.

Serious horror fans must seek out my former SPFX makeup man and Oscar winner Howard Berger’s MASTERS OF MAKE-UP EFFECTS. Fantastic photos and great behind-the-scenes insights.

Besides seeing THE HATCHING at a film festival in Slovenia, one of the best things that happened to me this summer was getting to hang out a bit with Joseph Quinn (STRANGER THINGS) in London and Toronto. What a talent! Check out his very different work in season 3 of CB STRIKE.

RIP Bob Rafelson. Such a talented creator, director. The Monkees, EASY RIDER, FIVE EASY PIECES, POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE, and the pic I co-starred in for him, STAY HUNGRY. And so cool too; aviator goggles and French tee shirts. First director to invite me to dailies/rushes.

RIP Jean-Louis Trintignant. Starred in my favorite college era date move, A MAN AND A WOMAN. And later in such great films as MY NIGHT AT MAUD’S and THE CONFORMIST, and finally the bittersweet AMOUR.

On the eve of my departure to the UK for London Film and Comic Con, saddened to learn of the passing of director Peter Brook. His film LORD OF THE FLIES, and his productions of MARAT/SADE, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM and MAHABHARATA changed the way I perceive film and theater. RIP
