Steven Kostanski – writer/director/producer – The Void, Psycho Goreman

“Choosing my favourites from Arrow’s weird catalogue of movies is a welcome nostalgia flashback to my video store days when I’d shove all sorts of sci-fi and horror nonsense into customers' faces. After reviewing my list, it’s clear that my tastes have not changed in 15 years: I’m forcing “Hellbound: Hellraiser 2” on people just as passionately as I was back then, and in these tumultuous times that gives me a certain level of comfort. Enjoy!”
