On March 17th, we lost the great Freddie Francis. Cinematographer for the Elephant Man, director of several Hammer films including Paranoiac and Dracula has Risen from the Grave, and one of the masters of contemporary English Gothic. Just a few weeks back, it was Charles Griffith, the mind behind Little Shop of Horrors, a Bucket of Blood and other brilliant drive-in schlock. Lastly, let us not forget Ingmar Bergman, who left a serious footprint on the genre with the Virgin Spring, and contemporary variation on the Medieval morality play the Seventh Seal. Geniuses all.
