Just 5 days after the horror community lost the amazing Robert Z’dar we are now hit with more dreadful and heartbreaking news that the horror community has lost yet another legendary figure. Today Rob Zombie’s official Facebook page announced that they had received word that Tom Towles had passed away.
Zombie is the only source we can find at the moment announcing his death. Zombie had previously worked with Towles on his landmark 2003 film House of 1000 Corpses where Towles portrayed George Wydell. Towles was also known for his roles in the 1990 Tom Savini remake of Night of the Living Dead, Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, The Pit and the Pendulum, and Firefly.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Towles’ family this Easter as they mourn the passing of a great man. We will keep you guys posted with anymore news about this as it becomes available.
If this is true it’s very sad. However it might be that Rob Zombie got a bad piece of info.
