On this day in horror history.... one of the most iconic horror actors of our time, Sig Haig is born! Most well known for his portrayal of Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie's 'House of 1000 Corpses' and 'The Devil's Rejects', two of my personal favorites. He's also got a laundry list of other credits, that keeps growing year after year. Happy Birthday to a legend!

A giant in more ways than one, Matthew is best known in the horror world as Tiny Firefly from 'House of 1000 Corpses' and 'The Devil's Rejects'. A favorite of Rob Zombie's, the world sadly had to say goodbye to Mr. McGrory, as he passed away from heart failure in 2005. Long live Tiny.
