I'm sad to see the news that cult director Roger Corman has died. He was 98.
A hugely important figure in the world of sci-fi and horror films, his output was prolific.
My undying memory will be seeing his Edgar Allen Poe movies for the first time when I was a kid on the family TV.
Of all of them, The Pit and the Pendulum, stands head and shoulders above them all and for me it's Roger Corman's masterpiece and helped spark a lifelong passion for horror films.
Rest in peace Roger.
