My long time evil clown avatar man.  Few did the humorously atrociously despicable like Sid.

Only appropriate you posted this Redz. The Devil's Rejects is one of the most re-watchable horror/twisted movies out there. I was surprised when I heard the news, but just saw that he was 80, so at least he lived a long life.

"Don't we make ya laugh? Aren't we fn funny? You best come up with an answer, caz I'm gonna come back here and check on you and your momma and if you ain't got a reason why you hate clowns, I'm gonna kill your whole fn family."

And of course, "Tutti-fn-Frutti!"

Finally got around to watching Coffy and Foxy Brown last year. He's terrific in both, even if only for his weird energy. Tarantino snuck him into Jackie Brown as a judge, which I think I remember reading them both thinking it was hilarious that he was playing a judge.

RIP

Saw him in April when I was doing a con. He wasn't looking great st the show but was told he was getting better. But even as frail as he looked he was a machine signing and taking photo ops. He was the last celebrity to leave the floor. I'm not a horror guy but I knew how big he was in that industry. My friends who got to meet him that weekend have been flooding FB today with thete memories. Sad to see him pass.
