Your books are considered nearly required reading for the successful marketer, most of whom have no concept of the success you earned a generation earlier. Film-making never can be a closed crypt.
Movies are in the blood, like malaria.
And this is especially true in my case, because not a week goes by that I don't have a happy reminder. Legitimately mounted, such a project would interest me until I'm ready for the embalmer. It's common knowledge that your films are the direct ancestors to many of today's horror genre hits, the 'Halloween' series, for example, or more currently, the 'Scream' franchise. You pioneered and pushed the door open, and now the new players in the genre, not you, are really getting to reap the monetary reward. Certainly recognition has outstripped the production values of the movies I made.
