Dan Curtis Dead at Age 78
The legendary director and producer, Dan Curtis, passed away today at the age of 78 at his home in Brentwood, CA.
Dan Curtis has amazing, impressive credits that are outside the horror genre, but he was one of the genre-bending movers and shakers behind such 60s and 70s horror classics as Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker, The Night Strangler, The Norliss Tapes, and Dracula… not to mention the infamous 1975 Karen Black TV movie, Trilogy of Terror.
Curtis was diagnosed with a brain tumor in December of last year. Sadly, his wife Norma, to whom he was married for over 50 years, died two weeks ago of heart failure.
