"Stanley was a complicated person. He seemed like he could be a prick and a horror to work for. But he also made some of the most amazing films ever. He also loved his family above everything. Like most people, hes multi-layered." — Aug 04, 2026 07:49AM

“In most crime novels the violent act, usually the murder, is the engine. Take that away and there is little left to drive the story along. So I do get a little cross with authors who aren’t precise about the violence they’re using to create tension because I feel they’re being dishonest with their readers. If people don’t like the blood and violence in my books, fine, they can always close the cover and put it aside and maybe read a romance instead. – Mo Hayder”
