Bill Cosford was the film critic for The Miami Herald and I grew up reading his stuff. It's funny because he seemed to enjoy a lot of things but would give it no stars. His review of MAUSOLEUM would attest to that. It baffles me the stuff he reviewed in the pages of the Herald. EXECUTIONER PART II, for example.

At the time, I thought being a film critic was the best job ever and I'd probably end up being one myself. I always looked forward to his reviews and he turned me on to a lot of stuff outside the horror genre I wouldn't have known about, being a kid and all.

He died quite unexpectedly in the 90's.

He is missed.
