Oh man!
Ackerman's death, while not unexpected, is still a huge loss. RIP, Dr. Acula.

Loved Benedict's bit in Spinal Tap. RIP
Yeah Famous Monsters was a big deal when I was a kid. I saw Forry on a discussion panel at a screening of The Time Machine a few years ago.

And Nina Foch, a great actress and teacher. RIP

Beverly Garland! No!
Almost certainly the best actress from Roger Corman's early period, RIP.

No props yet for Benedict's turn as FLEEBER in "The Freshman"? Hilarious character, especially recognizable to anyone who's gone to film school, and he portrayed him brilliantly.

nah, forry as forry the zoo tourist who takes a photo of lionel's mum in 'braindead' - or 'dead alive' for you northern hemisphere weirdos - still the funniest and badassest zombie flick ever made bar none
