On this day, back in 2001, my love letter to ‘80s slashers was released. I have so many great memories of working with some of the most wonderful people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Grateful that the movie has found its fan base over the years. Xoxo ♥️

I finally got the trade edition of your magnificent book on THE SHINING. I have waited a long time to read it and it’s absolutely fascinating. Thank you for your incredible work putting it together. J.W. Rinzler would have been so immensely proud of the final result.

This year is off to a horrible start. Deeply saddened by the passing of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
We were all better off for his contributions to cinema and his brilliant mind. Deepest condolences to his friends and family.💔

STOP 👏

WTF is going on here at Blue Sky? People are civil to each other. People having intelligent discussions. People are spelling things correctly. I haven’t seen any racism or sexism.

I’m confused.
