Bonanno, 80, who now lives in Tucson, suffers from high blood pressure and a narrowing of the coronary arteries. He claimed that the stress of testifying against his old associates could kill...

Still, the protean horrorsmith would not have missed a chance to go behind the camera. After all, eleven of his books have been brought to the screen by others. "I had to do this at least once," he says. "This movie is a kind of mechanical Birds. People have been telling me for a long time that I was eventually going to have to bring the visual sense...
