A Creepy Farewell to Last Years Loses

There have been so many painfully sad celebrity deaths in 2016 it is with heavy heart that we pay respects to those that have entertained with their lives. Obviously we miss them all with and would like to show our love to all of them equally we of the Creepercast usually concentrate on the horror icons. Here's to those that have influenced our creepy ways in amazing ways.

Dan Haggerty: Best known as the haggard recluse Grizzly Adams, we loved him in 80's horror master pieces like Elves and Terror Night.

Carrie Fisher: Sure we all know her as the only princess that matters, Carrie has also graced us with a couple horror comedies like She's Back and The Burbs.

Debbie Reynolds:  In one of the saddest stories you'll ever hear, Ms Reynolds passed away the day after her loved daughter. Reportedly her last words were "I want to be with Carrie". Though she mostly dominated in family comedies we will always love her as Aunt Aggie from Halloweentown.

Alan Rickman: Best known for his roles in Die Hard, Galaxy Quest, and Harry Potter, Alan kind of slipped his way through horror with Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Close My Eyes. But he'll always be the voice of God to us.

Anton Yelchin: Star Trek put him on top but its films like Green Room, Odd Thomas, and Burying the Ex that will forever endear him to our hearts.

Alexis Arquette: The mis-identified Arquette sibling best known for her role in The Wedding Singer left us with Bride of Chucky, Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror, and as the uncredited Vampire DJ in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

David Bowie: Not only one of the most influential writers of pop music, David brought Labyrinth to life and hosted The Hunger (TV Series).

Gene Wilder: One of the darkest funniest comedians alive thanks to Young Frankenstein, Haunted Honeymoon, and the only Willy Wonka we will accept as cannon.

Patty Duke: Best known for western hospitality and family, Patty also taught us to fear The Swarm.

Alice Drummond: The character actress who charmed Horror Freaks as the librarian in the original Ghostbusters.

Angus Scrimm: Our forever favorite Tall Man of the Phantasm series was really Cecil B. DeMille's brother (once known as William C. de Mille).

Don Calfa: Best remembered for his role as "Ernie Kaltenbrunner" in the 1985 comedy horror The Return of the Living Dead.

Larry Drake: As if being a deformed serial killing Santa on Tales from the Crypt wasn't enough, he's also our favorite giggling doctor.

Herschell Gordon Lewis: Only one film-maker can claim the title "Godfather of Gore." Did you know he once taught English Lit?
