ELM STREET 3 is my favorite of the series. Had a poster for THE BLOB on my wall way back when. Still have a soft spot for ERASER which I saw opening night at the Chinese. I'm very sad to hear this news. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Chuck Russell, Director of ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street 3’ and ‘The Mask,’ Dies at 74

He also wrote ‘Dreamscape’ and helmed ‘Eraser,’ ‘Bless This Child’ and ‘The Scorpion King.’

Filmmaker Chuck Russell has passed away at 74. Chuck Russell directed The Blob & Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors in the 1980s, and later directed The Mask, Eraser, Bless the Child, The Scorpion King, and Witchboard (2025). A horror legacy that will never be forgotten.

In case you’re watching Robert Altman’s “California Split” and wondering what’s the triple bill playing in the deep background when George Segal walks outside the massage parlor - it’s “COME BACK CHARLESTON BLUE” “ENTER THE DRAGON” & “GIMME SHELTER” All for 99 cents.
