Met him at his first ever UK horror convention in May. What a guy!

I'm listening to his book just now and it's wonderful.

[@SlothGunner]

After Hours isn’t Scorsese’s best film, but it’s the only one I’d call absolutely perfect.

[@knownpleasures]

That doesn’t make sense in any way 😂

[@knownpleasures]

@@Ryan-on5onyes it does ! It should be the same ballpark

Dunne is properly interesting and I've always been struck by his careful, measured approach in projecting characters.

Thanks for posting this. I was sad I couldn't attend this, but it's wonderful to see it. What a fascinating and talented man.

What a treat. I'm a big American Werewolf fan and it's great to hear his stories. Sounds like his book will be a required purchase.

American Werewolf a mixture of horror and humour and love.

That dude got so old compared to 1985
