Many, many years ago, I wrote about this foreign born B list director and his very interesting backstory as to why, exactly, he was never A list despite working with some big A listers. He’s being called out on social media by his ex for abuse.
She won’t be the last one.
Richard Stanley
Ex: Scarlett Amaris

Part of being an adult is actions get consequences. The day Stanley is thrown in prison without a trial, you’ll see me protesting. His film company saying “fuck him” over the reveal he’s an abuser? This is right and good and talent doesn’t excuse harm to another human being. Ever

There are loads of talented people to make horror and Lovecraft films. Stanley is a monster who doesn’t deserve anyone’s support or money. Support Scarlett Amaris and the women like her, whose stories have been silenced by men like Stanley for too long.
