A friend of mine who is a journalist had a chance to chat briefly with Wes Craven last night at an event they were attending. She prefaced by saying her friend would kill her if she didn’t ask, and then proceeded to ask “how much is Raúl Esparza in 25/8?”. She said his eyes bugged out, his jaw dropped and he said “who told you about THAT??”. He was just flabbergasted that this random film journalist, at a horror movie event, knew who Raúl was, because it's a cast of unknowns. But he did stop himself at that and say of course, Raúl isn't an unknown, but that was the last place he expected encounter someone who knew about Raúl.
Anyway, when he recovered, he said that he’s all throughout the movie, so it’s not just like the first fifteen minutes as we speculated.
Oh, and (SPOILER WARNING )

he said later on, during a panel, that the villain in 25/8 isn’t dead (which means he isn’t a ghost or a zombie or some such creature), he’s alive and has been living under a bridge for 16 years. (I guess that means he’s the male version of a bag lady??)
Which also explains his look in this pic:

Sarcasm is an allergic reaction to stupid people.
