His Edgar Allan Poe adaptations was where I got introduced to Vincent Price.

Two of his 'Poe' movies were Peter Lorre's last films before he died in 1964, including this one where he turns The Raven into a comedy about wizards.

Just heard the news. RIP Roger, you were a real one.

Corman's Attack of the Crab Monsters is actually a great B-movie, if only for how the titular menaces were more than just "attack of the giant [fill in the blank]!", but mutant intelligent crabs who gain the memories and intelligence of the victims they consume and pursue a strategy against the scientists trapped on an island with them.

Gudrun Ure, star of 1980s British children's TV show Super Gran, has died aged 98.

I'm aware that she was playing a character who was a little bit older than her actual age at the time but I'll still admit that I'm surprised that she was still alive.

Actor Dabney Coleman dies at 92.

Damn shame, but 92 is some good innings. How did Gene Hackman outlive him? RIP to a film legend.

9 to 5, that scene was a classic.

I would never. I just meant that Gene is 94, and looks to be in the state of health typical of someone in their 90s.

I don't want to jinx it, but I'd imagine Clint Eastwood doesn't have too much longer either. He's looking real rough. But hell , once you get to 90 you've pretty much won life as far as longevity goes.
