...Decades ago, in the wake of Halloween and Black Christmas, exploitation filmmakers scurried for other holidays to turn into horrors. In 1981 some Canadian geniuses got the notion to add psychopathic gore to the day of romantic mush and put it all to the title of an old Rodgers and Hart song.

He had been ailing through the fall, and at the end of October posted a message on Facebook that he was "battling an infection this Halloween. Boo (hoo)." On Nov. 6 the Locus.com SF site, the British Fantasy Society and Wikipedia all announced Ackerman's death - then retracted it. Not so much undead as not-yet-dead, Ackerman stayed with us for another four weeks. Through this extended expiration, emails flooded into the Acker-mini-mansion - love notes...
