ROBERT QUARRY APPRECIATION WEEK

 

The last several weeks have been very emotionally draining for me, beginning in early April with the loss of both a canine pal I’d known for fourteen years and a woman I had known for, well, a lifetime. Both within the span of a week; it may sound odd to compare them, but there you are. Love and loss are both felt deeply and acutely, aren’t they?

But one friend, unknown to him until only recently, has helped me focus outside of myself and manage a bit better than I ordinarily might, in order to help him with his troubles. And it’s he that we celebrate this week: actor Robert Quarry.

A longtime friend and colleague, I’ve written a piece about him that launches “Robert Quarry Appreciation Week” over at the Classic Horror Film Board.

Click on the link below, and then click on the Quarry banner at the top of the forum to go to my posting.

While visiting the forum, there is also a thread (in the folder called “Films of the 60’s and 70’s”) that features several wonderful discussions of Quarry’s films. I invite you to poke around and spend some time at The Classic Horror Film Board, especially if it’s your first time there, as it’s one of the best film forums that I’ve found, frequented by some of the brightest writers, artists, filmmakers and fans in the horror genre today.

But as for my friend Robert Quarry, please click on the banner at the top of the forum once you’re there, and if you’re inclinded to help this wonderful man, I thank you in advance for your consideration and kindness!
