R.I.P. Richard Lynch

It would appear two horror veterans died on June 19, Susan Tyrrell and now Richard Lynch…

Reports are just emerging that Richard Lynch was found dead at his home in the early morning of June 19, 2012. He was 72. The Saturn Award winner, most known for his villanous look due to a terrible burn, leaves behind a legacy of b-horror and recent mainstream horror success.
