september stiffs.

A fairly mixed bunch in our list of Death's newest disciples this month, so let's get straight down to it with a murder that scared the shite out of me after the amount of death threats I've had regarding this blog recently, that of Filipino/Canadian film critic and advocate of Southeast Asian cinema Alexis Tioseco, no doubt killed by irate Wendy Richard/Rob Zombie fans.






Sticking with the Southeast, ex-model, former representative of the Chungcheongnam-do province at the 1993 Miss Korea beauty contest and star of The Foul King, Siren and Ghost in Love Jang Jin-young passed away as did the Hungarian voice of Sean Connery, Morgan Freeman and Darth Vader Tibor Kristóf.






In the world of animals, Jake Brockman of Echo & the Bunnymen and the world famous pelican Mr Percival both died as did Garron himself, the professional gruff Scotsman Iain Cuthbertson.





Sticking with (but not to) the TeeVee, Felix Bowness, best remembered for his portrayal of the jockey Fred Quilly in the BBC shitcom Hi-de-Hi! rode his last pony slowly overtaking Troy (writer of Z-Cars, Edge of Darkness and the greatest Brit flick ever The Italian Job) Kennedy Martin's teetering on the brink gold filled bus before crashing into Robert S. Baker, the producer of the Sir Roger of Moore classics The Saint and The Persuaders!



Finally long term readers of this blog will be sad to hear of the death of OAP horror afficionado and Italian splatter fan my Nan, whom you may remember from her comments on House by The Cemetery and her love of Cannibal Ferox.
