Here’s the latest I can confirm about Larry Cohen.
- There have been no recent public updates on Larry Cohen in 2026; most widely reported items remain from 2019, when Cohen, a noted horror and cult-film writer-director, passed away at age 77.[3][6]
- He was best known for cult classics such as It’s Alive, The Stuff, Black Caesar, Hell Up in Harlem, and God Told Me To, and he remained a prominent figure in B-movie cinema for decades.[6][9][3]
If you’d like, I can search for any recent tributes, reissues, or festival/showcase appearances that might have occurred in 2025–2026, or look for new interviews or retrospective pieces. Would you like me to do that?
