From BLEEDING COOL

Browncoats everywhere are lowering their flags to half staff today as word has come out that Emmy-nominated actor Ron Glass has passed away at the age of 71. One of Glass’ agents is confirming his passing and Friends have already been reporting that he is thought to have passed away peacefully at his Los Angeles home yesterday...

And now we've lost Alan Rickman...

I'm speechless...

From DEN OF GEEK

We’ve sad, sad news to report: Alan Rickman, the incredibly talented British actor of stage and screen, has passed away at the age of 69.

Readers of all ages are sure to have their own favourite Rickman performance: younger readers may know him as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series of film adaptations.

Others will remember him as the incomparable villain Hans Gruber in the 1988 action classic, Die Hard. Still others may think of his tender performance in the British drama Truly, Madly, Deeply, or his wonderfully broad, boo-hiss bad guy the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves...

How can David Bowie be gone? How could he not be forever?

I think the New York Times said it best;

David Bowie Dies at 69; Star Transcended Music, Art and Fashion

You're goddamn right he did!

How about to say goodbye we watch his first video-

and then his last-

ANGUS SCRIMM 1926-2016 rest in peace my favorite monster...

From DREAD CENTRAL
Phanstasm director Don Coscarelli ...said of Scrimm’s death:


"Angus Scrimm passed away peacefully tonight surrounded by his friends and loved ones. He was 89 years old. His performance as the Tall Man is a towering achievement in horror film history. He was the last in a long line of classic horror movie stars. Angus was a terrific actor and an even better friend. He will be missed."

Rest In Peace Scott Weiland

I am sure you heard that Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland passed away recently. I am really heartbroken that his demons got the better of him. The man had an amazing voice and STP was the band I always listened to when I wanted to set the mood for writing one of my THE NICK OF TIME stories.

You did some amazing work sir. I wish you could have stayed longer.

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. Zdarsky, the 6-foot-2 actor was featured in more than 121 films, including cult classics like the first three MANIAC COP films, SOULTAKER, THE FINAL SANCTION as well as more mainstream films like the Sylvester Stallone/Kurt Russell starring TANGO AND CASH. Decker said Z'Dar was hospitalized after suffering chest pains during Pensacon, and was on the mend before going into cardiac arrest Monday night...

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)...

Rest In Peace Valerie Jones...
