RIP Denise Cronenberg: Costume Designer On Major Films Has Passed Away at 81

Today brings word that lauded costume designer and sister of Canadian horror icon David Cronenberg, Denise Cronenberg, has passed away at the age of 81. Deadline broke the news, reporting:

She worked with her brother on a dozen films, including Naked Lunch, eXistenZ,  A Dangerous Method, and the 2014 Hollywood satire Maps to the Stars. She worked a total of 37 films in all, including 2004′s Dawn of the Dead and 2008′s The Incredible Hulk.

“We would put on plays in our house for the neighborhood and they were always instigated by Denise,” said David Cronenberg, age 77. “She was always a performer, which certainly later helped her with her work in terms of understanding actors and performances.”

All of us here at Dread Central send our sincerest condolences to Cronenberg’s fans, friends, and family.
