Roger Corman, director of The Little Shop Of Horrors and producer of over 400 films, died at age 98
Roger Corman , the iconic filmmaker and producer known for The Little Shop Of Horrors and Edgar Allan Poe adaptations like The Masque Of The Red Death , died last Thursday, according to weekend reports. In a statement, his family confirmed that Corman died in his Santa Monica home, per The Hollywood Reporter. He was 98 years old. “He was generous, open-hearted and kind to all those who knew him,” Corman’s family said in their statement.
“But the number of Academy Award winning directors who started with me is just amazing. I wasn’t aware that they were going to go that big.” “He gave you kind of a visual credo–the importance of imaginative editing and imaginative camerawork in order to keep the eye involved, because if you lose the viewer’s eye, you’re going to lose the viewer’s interest,” Demme recalled of Corman’s mentorship in a 2002 interview with The A.V. Club.
