We’re crushed to hear that Catherine O’Hara has left us. Horror fans know her work in BEETLEJUICE and THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (as well as a memorable appearance in TALES FROM THE CRYPT), but her body of creativity beyond genre is an epic one. Our condolences to all who loved her.

Still in a Dream, out this June, is the definitive story of the slackers and shoegazers who reinvented rock, as the music they created reverberated through the late 80s into the early 90s.
