Bob Clark and his son were killed in an auto accident this morning. Clark leaves behind a colorful legacy of hits and cult oddities, as well as some regrettable crap.

Cult fans still adore the disturbed Vietnam vet story DEATHDREAM. Alas, he also unleashed sludge like BABY GENIUSES and KARATE DOG in more recent years. He was in preproduction on a remake of his early film CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS.

Here's the story
