[on the production of
El torreón (1983)] I made it all up. I saw it very clearly in my mind's eye and translated that to the page. When "The Keep" was in development for the film, the producer,
Gene Kirkwood, called me and asked where the 'Dinu Pass' was located because they wanted to look into it for location shots [in Romania]. I told him it was in my head and they couldn't go there. He wouldn't believe me at first. Finally they found a slate quarry in Wales [UK] that fit the bill.[2008]
