Unfortunately news to glean just before Halloween, but a man who devoted much of his life to monster culture, iconic TV horror movie host John Zacherle passed away yesterday.
Zacherle is also well known to cult film fans for his blackly funny turn giving voice to the brain sucking parasite Aylmer in Frank Henenlotter‘s gory cult classic Brain Damage.
Zacherle would continue evolving this persona in a myriad mediums throughout the 1960s and 70s as well as appearing in film, television and radio as an actor.
We send our love to all of his fans to and to the friends and family who knew him best.
