RIP David Worth

1940 - 2026

It is sad to hear that director David Worth passed away on September 10 at the age of 86. Many of you may know him for directing such films as Warrior Of The Lost World and Kickboxer, but we here at Monster Crap know him for directing a different film. 

He Directed The Much Laughed At Shark Attack 3: Megalodon. 

He will be missed. 

RIP Gerrit Graham

1949 - 2026

It is with sadness that I find out that actor Gerrit Graham has passed away at the age of 76 after suffering from lung disease and other ailments. He is best known for being in multiple Brian De Palma films, two Star Trek series, and for some low budget films like Terrorvision, It's Alive III, and Child's Play 2. But we here at Monster Crap know him for being in 2 Monster Crap inductions. 

He Was The Technician Named Nesler In Chopping Mall

He Was Also Bud The Chud In C.H.U.D. II: Bud The Chud. 

He will be missed. 

RIP Tim Curry

1946 - 2026

Monster Crap is beyond devastated that Tim Curry has passed away at the age of 80. Tim Curry was my favorite actor of all time because as the old saying goes "If a movie he was rated with one star, he was the reason for that one star". In fact, you may know (or not know) that the reason I went to my first horror convention was because Tim Curry was originally going to be there and a week after I got the tickets and hotel room booked, he sadly had to cancel his appearance (and this was 2 years before he had his stroke that left him in a wheel chair for the rest of his life). I've read his autobiography and have the audiobook that he narrated last year.

You may remember him for films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Annie, Legend, Clue, the It miniseries, Ferngully, Home Alone 2, The Three Musketeers (1993 version), and Muppets Treasure Island (among other films), for shows like Peter Pan & The Pirates and The Wild Thornberrys (and so much more), and theater play work like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Amadeus, My Favorite Year, Spamalot, and The Pirates Of Penzance. But we here at Monster Crap will remember him because he was Herkemer Homolka in Congo. 

Here He Is, Eating Captain Wanta's Sesame Cake And He Really Needs To Stop.

The world is a whole lot less fun without Tim Curry to brighten things up (and considering he died in between when Dolly Parton died and when Peter Cullen died, this week has truly been terrible). He will be sorely missed. 

RIP RJ Kizer

 
1952 - 2026

It is sad to hear that on August 12, RJ Kizer passed away at the age of 73 from cancer. RJ was mostly known as a man who did sound development and editing, but he did directing a few times (including Godzilla 1985). We hear at Monster Crap will always remember him for roles in two films. 

He Had An Uncredited Role As The MC During The Opening Sky-Diving Part Of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie

And He Was The Swim Coach In A Nightmare On Elm Street Remake.

He will be missed. 

RIP Vincent Pastore

1946 - 2026

It is with sadness that we hear that Vincent Pastore passed away nearly a week ago from natural causes. He may have been most known for being Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero in The Sopranos, but we here at Monster Crap will always remember him for being in Mafia!

He Was Gorgoni. 

He will be missed. 

RIP Sam Neill

1947 - 2026

It is truly beyond devastating to hear about the passing of Sam Neill from pneumonia after a strong victory over stage 3 anglioinnunobastic T-cell lymphoma. He is an extremely talented actor who has many great roles. Although most people will know him as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park, that does not discount his roles as Mark in Possession, Michael Chamberlain in Evil Angels aka A Cry In The Dark, John Ingram in Dead Calm, Captain 2nd Rank Vasily Borodin in The Hunt For Red October, Alisdair Stewart in The Piano, John Trent in In The Mouth Of Madness, Dr. William "Billy" Weir in Event Horizon, and Hector Faulkner in The Hunt For The Wilderpeople. Oh and that was all of his movie roles as he was had great TV roles like as Merlin in the 1998 Merlin miniseries, Sidney Reilly in Reilly: Ace Of Spies, Thomas Wolsey in The Tudors, and Major Chester Campbell in Peaky Blinders. With so much greatness, it would be an insult not to honor him and therefore, he will have a special October induction of this year. 

He will be dearly missed even though he has a few more roles he did before his passing that have not yet come out yet. 

RIP Kenji Ohba

1955 - 2016

It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Japanese actor and former stuntman Kenji Ohba, who succumbed to a long illness at the age of 71. While many will know him for his roles in the Super Sentai and Metal Heroes series, especially as Retsu Ichijouji/Gavan in Space Sheriff Gavan, among other roles. But we here at Monster Crap will remember him for one of the five roles he did in his first year of acting in 1965. 

He Was Self-Defense Force Soldier B In The Original Gamera Film.

He will be missed. 

RIP Patrick Muldoon

1968 - 2026

It is with great shock and sadness that we here at Monster Crap find out that Patrick Muldoon passed away at the age of 57 from a heart attack. While most people may remember him as Austin Reed at Melrose Place and Zander Baraclow from Starship Troopers, we here at Monster Crap will always remember him for being the star of Ice Spiders. 

He Was Killing Spiders, Including This One Where He Killed It With  A Deer Head. 

He will be missed. 

RIP Nicholas Brendan

1971 - 2026

It is with sadness that Monster Crap hears about the news of the passing of Nicholas Brendan at the age of 54 from natural causes. While most people will know him as Xander Harris in the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV show and as Kevin Lynch on Criminal Minds, we here at Monster Crap will always remember him from the time he and Jamie Pressley fought a killer pinata in Pinata: Survival Island. 

And Hating Each Other Through Most Of The Movie. 

He will be missed. 

RIP Robert Carradine

1954 - 2026

It is sad for Monster Crap to hear that Robert Carradine passed away at the age of 74 from suicide after a long battle with bipolar disease.

He will be missed. 

RIP Mark Jones

He will be missed. 

RIP Tcheky Karyo

1953 - 2025

It is sad to hear that Tcheky Karyo has passed away on Halloween at the age of 72 from cancer. He was a well acclaimed French actor in many films like La Femme Nikkita (the movie, not the later TV series), Vincent And Me, Nostradamus, Crying Freeman, Bad Boys, Goldeneye, The Messenger: The Story Of Joan Of Arc, The Patriot, Kiss Of The Dragon, and one of my favorite films when I was a kid, The Bear (aka L'Ours); and TV series like And The Band Played On, From The Earth To The Moon, The Missing, and Baptiste. But we here at Monster Crap will always remember him for a role in the 1999 movie Wing Commander. 

He Was Taggart

He will be missed. 

RIP June Lockhart

1925 - 2025

It is sad for us to hear that June Lockhart passed away at the age of 100. Most people may know her for starring roles in the TV series Lassie and the original Lost In Space, but we here at Monster Crap know her for a different role in a movie

She will be missed.

RIP Paula Shaw

1941 - 2025

It is sad for Monster Crap to hear about the passing 8 days ago of Paula Shaw. at the age of 84 after a long illness.

She will be missed. 

RIP Scott Spiegel

1957 - 2025

It is with once again with great sadness that we find out that last month, Scott Spiegel passed away at the age of 67.

But Monster Crap will remember him as the director of From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money. 

He Was Also The Porno Director Who Was Shot In The Film As Well. 

He will be missed. 

RIP Graham Greene

1952 - 2025

It is with great sadness that we learn that a few days ago, one of the best Native American (Canadian) actors that we have in Graham Greene has passed away at the age of 73 after a long illness. Many of you may know him as Kicking Bird in Dances With Wolves, Arlen Bitterbuck in The Green Mile, Walter Crow Horse in Thunderheart, Joseph in Maverick, Joe Lambert in Die Hard With A Vengeance, Mogie Yellow Lodge in Skins, Calvin in Transamerica, and Ben in Wind River, among many other roles. However, we in Monster Crap will know him as Bella Swan's dad's friend Harry Clearwater in Twilight: New Moon.

He will definitely will be missed. 

RIP Michael Madsen

It is sad to hear that a few days ago, Michael Madsen passed away at the age of 67 after suffering a cardiac arrest. While many people will know him for roles like in Resevoir Dogs, Species, and Kill Bill (Part 1 & 2), we here at Monster Crap will know him for a role he probably didnt care about doing and that is Bloodrayne. 

Couldn't Even Care When His Character Was Getting Stabbed.

He will be missed. 

RIP Ed Gale

It is unfortunate to hear that Ed Gale passed away last Tuesday at the age of 61.

He will be missed by his friends and loved ones. 

RIP Joe Don Baker
