1936 - Feb 12 2012: Unfortunately, Bill died of cancer in Pennsylvania earlier this year, but never made the obits in my local paper. Best known as #1 zombie in the iconic original Night Of the Living Dead, Bill also had roles in other horror films as well as writing and directing others.
I had the chance to meet Bill in 2010 at the October Spooky Empire Convention, what a really nice friendly guy. As you can see below, really enjoyed coming to shows and killing fans! Unfortunately, I was unable to get him to autograph an 8x10 of the pic below last year, as he didn’t show up at the convention; now I know why.
Rest In Peace, Bill (and please DON’T show up at the next convention!)
