Four stars of some crazy movies have passed away...

R.I.P. Maniac Cop star Robert Z'Dar has passed away

The Pensacola News Journal reports that Z'Dar died Monday night in Pensacola after being hospitalized when he came to town to appear at Pensacon, according to his long-time manager and friend Jim Decker. Born Robert J.

R.I.P. Genre fave Tom Towles passes away at age 65

Tom Towles, the fantastic character actor whose credits included HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, THE BORROWER, 1990's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD remake, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, and THE DEVIL'S REJECTS just to name a few, has passed away at the age of 65. Rob Zombie, who had worked with Towles several times, including his 2007 HALLOWEEN remake, announced Towles’ death Sunday on Facebook, sharing “I just got word that our buddy Tom Towles has died. He was such a great guy and I am so grateful that we got to work together several times. He will be really missed.”...

R.I.P. The Devil's Rejects' Geoffrey Lewis passes away at age 79

Variety is reporting that Lewis, who appeared in several Clint Eastwood movies and made guest appearances on dozens of TV shows in the ’60s through ’80s, died Tuesday in Woodland Hills, Calif. of natural causes, according to a family friend. The character actor, who often appeared in Westerns, was the father of actress Juliette Lewis. Lewis had an impressive filmography (over 200 film and television roles!) that spanned several different genres, from action to westerns to dramas and everything in between, but it's his work in our beloved horror genre that I'll best remember him for. Lewis played Roy Sullivan in director Rob Zombie's THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, one of my favorite films, and later lent his voice talents to Zombie's THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EL SUPERBEASTO. He also played Mike Ryerson in "Salem’s Lot", and Terry McKean in 1992's THE LAWNMOWER MAN...

Killer Shrews star James Best has passed away

I’m sad to report that actor James Best passed away yesterday in North Carolina due to complications of pneumonia. He was 88. James Best appeared in dozens of westerns, dramas and comedies throughout his six decade career in Hollywood. Some of his most notable appearances include Seven Angry Men (1955), The Naked and the Dead (1958), Ride Lonesome (1959), Three On a Couch (1966) and Firecreek (1968). He is probably best known to television buffs as playing Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane in the iconic “Dukes of Hazzard” series from 1979 to 1985. He would always return to the budding franchise, providing voice overs for “The Dukes” in 1983, The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion! (1997), and The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood (2000)...

BJ Colangelo discusses "THE IMPORTANCE OF CASTING WOMEN OVER 50 IN HORROR"

From DAY OF THE WOMAN

In the world of horror fandom we have become obsessed with Scream Queens but rarely do we acknowledge the ones that aren't the ingenues that eventually grow older and seem to fade away thanks to studios wanting younger leads to carry their franchises and remakes. It's important to acknowledge the need for older women in horror movies and to celebrate their efforts and contributions. More often than not actresses over 50 are simply cast as "crazy old ladies" or simply as victims, or set pieces. It's these women that are needed the most on screen as they depict what we choose to ignore the most in society. We as a society place no inherent value to their experience or the accomplishment of surging as long as they have. Now, when we put that mentality towards horror, we can understand why it has always seemed women over 50 might as well be dead in Horror before they even get a chance to die on screen...
