Khan Bonfils, aka Kan, @ 42.

British actor Khan Bonfils, who went by Kan, died Wednesday in London while preparing for an upcoming production of “Dante’s Inferno.” He was 42.

Well, I'm relieved to see it wasn't you, V. You've been away for quite some time now.

Very sad, we lost another horror legend. I hope you find peace, Betsy. 8(

[MovieLover12]

Rest in Peace, Betsy Palmer!

[MichaelMyers]

And don't lose your head!

[FryeDwight]

Saw on CNN that Betsy Palmer, who played Mrs. Voorhees in the original 1980 classic passed away this weekend.
She scared the hell out of me when I saw it and she was incredibly nice the two times we met her.
So long, Betsy

Oh my, someone hold hammerfan: Christopher Lee, dead at 93.

[hammerfan]

No words ::sad::::shocked::

[newb]

Knew this day was coming....93

R.I.P. To the last of his kind.
::sad::

[cheebacheeba]

Vampire Jesus, is dead.
(Don't) Rest in peace, Chris.
Wow. Huge.

[Straker]

A true legend of the genre.... R.I.P Christopher Lee.

[hammerfan]

I get it, he was 93, lived a long, wonderful life, but.....I'm devastated. He was hands-down my favorite actor in the world. I think I'll have myself a Christopher Lee marathon starting tonight. Just watch every movie of his that I own.

[horcrux2007]

Oh my god...

[The Bloofer Lady]

Devastating news. Like a stake to the heart. Sad..so sad.

[MovieLover12]

Just saw this sad news! An absolute legend both on and off screen, in one of his most famous roles other then Francisco Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun, this is easily overshadowed by his portrayal of Dracula in the 1958 version! Christopher will always remain an icon of Hammer Horror and everything that is great within the genre.

Rest in Peace!

[The Bloofer Lady]

And I just keep thinking of that magnificent voice...

[Roiffalo]

Right after I heard the news my power went off... Even the universe isn't happy with this loss. God I'm going to miss that magnificent voice and performance. 8(

[cheebacheeba]

Mr Steed.
Hm, another 93.

[Repo'd]

Damn. This year is one kick in the gut after another. RIP, Sir.

[Roiffalo]

James Horner was also confirmed dead at only 61. Killed in a plane crash. With all he wanted to do yet in life, it's just tragic.

RIP Gunnar...

[Giganticface]

Beat me to it, Despare. That's a pretty big one.

"Breaking News: FANGORIA is deeply saddened to report that Gunnar Hansen, genre legend and original "Leatherface" from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, has passed away. We will have proper words to memorialize Hansen in the coming days. R.I.P."

[Repo'd]

Oh,...dammit. I've got no words for this. Fuck you 2015.

I loved this guy. I'll see you HDC'rs tomorrow.

[Morningriser]

:(

[MichaelMyers]

RIP Leatherface. To think people are trying to get rid of him from the tourney. ::sad::

[Angra]

RIP Leatherface. To think people are trying to get rid of him from the tourney. ::sad::

It IS called the tournament of DEATH.

[MichaelMyers]

It IS called the tournament of DEATH.

Leatherface's life matters!

[horcrux2007]

It IS called the tournament of DEATH.

That's horrible ::big grin::

[Morningriser]

Leatherface was voted out of the TOD a long time ago. What if we killed him???

[Angra]

Leatherface was voted out of the TOD a long time ago. What if we killed him???

That's why Ash should end up as winner. He's in the middle of an important tv series.

[Morningriser]

If Michael Myers gets voted out which one will die? There is several of him

I vote Tyler Mane lol

[Angra]

I vote Tyler Mane lol

Easy. They will all die an instant death simultaneously. ::devil::

[Morningriser]

That's hardcore!

[Angra]

That's hardcore!

Hey, it was you who made the tournament. You're the evil one.

[Morningriser]

^^^ does that really look like the face of evil?

[Angra]

^^^ does that really look like the face of evil?

Hmmm... No, maybe more the face of a raving lunatic. ::big grin::

[Morningriser]

That's a little more accurate

[Sculpt]

That's why Ash should end up as winner. He's in the middle of an important tv series.
LOL Angra is right! We cant feed Ash to Morningriser's angel of death machine, he's got a show to do.

[Sculpt]

On a more serious note, Leatherface didn't die, actor Gunnar Hansen died of pancreatic cancer. He majored in English and mathematics as an undergraduate, and then went to graduate school in Scandinavian Studies and English. He was a writer, actor and taught college as an adjunct instructor. Wrote film scripts, and wrote and directed documentary films.

http://moviedezingueur.o.m.f.unblog.fr/files/2013/07/gunnar-hansen.jpg

[Morningriser]

I wanted to meet him so bad. I was going to go to Rock and Shock one year when he was there but something came up and I didn't get to.

[Oro13]

Gunnar Hansen passed away on Nov. 7 at 68 years old.

While most of us might have seen his other films like Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers and Mosquito, most know him for his role as Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I had the pleasure of meeting him once at an event and he was very pleasant, funny, and told some great stories about his experience on that film ( also talked some shit about Paul Partain lol ).

He created one of the most iconic and memorable killers in horror history, often imitated, but never duplicated, and he will be missed.

Don't know if this is the right forum for this, but I just found out and had to say something, and I figured this was a good place. I'll be watching the original TCM and having a drink in his honor this evening.

[Morningriser]

Today is a sad day indeed. I am going to watch TCM before Walking Dead tonight.

For future reference we have a RIP thread for celebrity deaths.

Oh, thank you for letting me know, I suppose I should have searched harder lol.

[MichaelMyers]

RIP.

[Repo'd]

RIP. The dude was a real gent. Had a chance to meet him twice and really enjoyed that. He was bright and insanely well read. We didn't talk about horror, we talked about books. This nerd loved every second of those way too brief conversations. Fond memories.

His death is a loss for horror fans and the planet. Adios, big dude, and thank you.

[Repo'd]

Hmm. If we caused his death by voting him out of the tournament, couldn't we bring him back to life by allowing him back in??!!

I mean, in theory. Yeah?

I loved me some Gunnar Hansen. I bet yesterday there was an all time high mark for people watching TCM. I was among them, naturally.

[RavageRitual]

RIP Gunnar

But it is still heartbreaking, to me anyway.

Always liked him. RIP

[Repo'd]

Yeah, I always liked him too, Bloofer.

His line from Independence Day, " Tell 'em how to bring the sons of bitches down.", is often quoted around my house.

RIP, sir.

Well, I am a bit late to comment on Gunnar passing away. But I wanted to share that he was amazing both times that I met him. I was fortunate enough that when I met him the first time there wasn't a line. We chatted for a few minutes and I browsed his collection of pics at his table to be signed. I chose 2 that I thought were really cool, and he said that the 2 that I picked were his favorites. So I asked him to pick his favorite out of the 2 and he ended up signing that one. Maybe 2 hours later I felt somebody touch my elbow while I was looking at this Jaws exhibit. I looked up and Gunnar asked me by name if I was having a good time. He was so freaking nice!! I about shat myself!!

You made my day with this comment. My experience meeting him was just as pleasant and unforgetable. From the worlds most avid Texas Chainsaw Massacre fan, thanks for sharing that memory.

You are more than welcome. He was a great man
