Paid Members BomberPat Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 Jad Fair and Kramer performing at the celebration of Daniel Johnston's life. When Jad Fair's guitar first comes in, it's so incongruous, but by the end I think it's absolutely perfect. Powerful stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Sid Haig, 80 years old. Man, I don't really bother with many celebrity type deaths but this one has stuck out as a horror fan. His rap sheet when it came to TV appearances was second to none of the "B-Actor" types of his day: MacGyver, the Dukes of Hazzard, Fall Guy, the A-Team, Fantasy Island, Buck Rodgers, Rockford Files, Mission Impossible, and the 60's Batman show. Movie-wise he was in the likes of Diamond's are Forever, Foxy Brown, Jackie Brown, House of 1000 Corpses, Kill Bill 2, Devils Rejects, Rob Zombie's Halloween, Lords of Salem, Death House, and most recently, 3 From Hell. A bit of a cult hero in that genre, but a hell of a hand in his day. RIP Sid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful awful film, but he really stood out in it. And like you say he was one of those great character actors who managed to stand out in whatever he was doing.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 I remember all his other horror stuff. Don't remember him in "Diamonds are Forever" though. I know he's in it, but it's a strange film to be on the guys CV when you look at all of the other films. RIP Sid. Seemed a nice chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 Always thought if they ever did the story of the Von Erichs on film, Sid Haig could have played Gary Hart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 Exploitation legend who played a wonderfully creepy bastard. First saw him in spiderbaby years ago. He had a desolate few years, but glad to see he was back up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 He strikes me as a glue man Dev. I'm guessing his local Wilko's has a 3 for 2 special on Superglue, or what's known around our way as a "Huffers Delight" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 I remember watching a film years ago, called The Aftermath, where Sid Haig plays a outlaw biker who has taken over LA following after it has been nuked. Pretty standard B-Movie horror/thriller, but he's menacing in it. He's very intense as an onscreen presence. A guy who can bring the level of the movie up several notches. Even shite Rob Zombie films. He took on paper a shit clown, and made him terrifying. Rob Zombie's characters are usually always basic 1970s rips, Sid Haig made sure it was more than that.

Paid Members martyngnr Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 Gutted about Sid Haig. Rob Zombie movies are unwatchable nonsense - unless Sid was in them. Annoyed that I'm going to have to watch 3 From Hell knowing that he's apparently only in it for about 5 minutes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2019 You know, Sid Haig had a sex scene in the Devil's Rejects with porn star Ginger Lynn. A legendary actress in her genre. She made her comeback to the industry off the back of her popularity in this movie, starring alongside James Deen. Deen was a popular male performer, who recently came under allegations of taking liberties with his female co-stars. The Huffington Post referred to Deen as the "Bill Cosby of porn". Lisa Bonet, a Cosby show cast member, told that same news outlet she "wasnt surprised" regarding Cosby's downfall. Post Cosby show Bonet is perhaps best known for her sex scene with Mickey Rourke, when she was 19 years old. Mickey Rourke had previously starred in the film Barfly, semi-autobiography of poet/author Charles Bukowski. He died in 1994, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
