This past Easter Weekend was not good to horror icons. Not only have we lost Maniac Cop‘s Robert Z’Dar, but we also lost Night of the Living Dead‘s (1990) Tom Towles.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tammy Dupal of TnT Talent Management, which represented Towles,said that the actor died on April 2nd, at a hospital in Pinellas, Florida, after suffering a stroke four days earlier.
Towles, a Chicago native, starred in many genre films, including Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986), The Pit and the Pendulum (1991), The Borrower (1991), The Prophecy II (1998), Grindhouse (2007), and became a go-to actor for Rob Zombie, appearing in House of 1000 Corpses (2003), The Devil’s Rejects (2005), and Halloween (2007).
Tom Towles, you will be greatly missed.
RIP
