Biography
Curtis Harrington brought an art-house sensibility to horror and mystery cinema, directing films such as Night Tide and producing shorts that blended suspense with poetic imagery, earning him respect in both Hollywood and underground film circles.
He remained a generous friend to independent filmmakers, curating retrospectives and advocating for queer narratives in cinema, and his memory endures at Hollywood Forever Cemetery where he rests among colleagues who appreciated his visionary eye.
