This sucks he was talking about getting back into horror. Me and Drew thought he'd be an obvious choice for Masters of Horror but now his last film will be Karate Dog.



from Wikipedia:


Clark's career actually began squarely in the horror genre, in the early 1970s. His first film of this ilk, Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972), was a blend of comedy and graphic horror.

Clark and his collaborator for this film, screenwriter and makeup artist Alan Ormsby, would revisit the zombie subgenre in 1972's Deathdream, also known by its alternate title, Dead of Night, a Vietnam War allegory that takes its cue from the classic short story The Monkey's Paw. The slasher film Black Christmas (1974) was one of his most successful films in this period, and is remembered today as an influential precursor to the modern slasher film genre.[4] Clark had moved to Canada, then a tax haven for Americans, and these productions were small by Hollywood standards but made Clark a big fish in the small pond of the Canadian film industry of that era.[3]

Death
Clark and his son, Ariel Hanrath-Clark, 22, were killed in a head-on collision on the Pacific Coast Highway in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles on the morning of April 4, 2007.[8] The crash, which involved an SUV which crossed the median before hitting Clark's Infiniti, caused the closure of the highway for eight hours.[4] Police determined that the driver of the SUV was under the influence of alcohol as well as driving without a license.[9]

The driver of the SUV, an illegal alien named Hector Velazquez-Nava, 24, was arrested and booked for investigation of drunk driving and gross vehicular manslaughter. He is being held on $100,000 bail. He is also pending deportation [10]
