This one stings. Great horror movie actor. Doesn't say what he dies of, and he wasn't too old or anything. Damn.

Horror icon for sure. I googled him last night after I'd heard and saw something from 2023 about him having cancer and he had a string of several horror con cancellations. Don't sleep on his role in the Night of the Living Dead remake either. A remake of that classic should be terrible but it's actually very good and he's great in it.

He was in The Rock and Platoon as well. Loved Candyman.

Ugh that sucks. Candyman was a good one. He was also in Final Destination which was a fun one.

Never thought he got enough credit for improving the university academically. Lost a good one.
