“The first time I saw one I was 10 years old. It was my mother's. Black cholera had taken her. So Father ordered a closed casket, asked me not to look. There were to be no parting kisses. No goodbyes. No last words. That is, until the night she came back.”
— Matthew Robbins, Guillermo Del Toro, Edith Cushing, Mia Wasikowska, imdb.com
