**** on it. Quite a few movies under his belt, Harry Potter and Bond, but probably known mostly for TV lately, such as Friday Night Dinner and Chernobyl, Paul Ritter died of a brain tumour at the relatively young age of 54.

Sad news he was a character

RIP Prince Philip
His pose with the hands behind his back inspired Michael Caine's officer portrayal in Zulu
(not many people know that )

Didn't see it mentioned here, but with Ben Hur being in the tv yesterday....

Haya Harareet died in February. Around the same time as Christopher Plummer.

She played Esther in Ben Hur.

Giannetto De Rossi - a makeup artist with credits including "Zombi 2" aka Zombie Flesh Eaters, "The House By the Cemetary", "Conan The Destroyer", "Rambo 3", "Haute Tension" aka Switchblade Romance, "Dune" and many more. Apparently he was also the designer of the mask from "The Man in the Iron Mask". Quite the gory career.

The first thing that I recognised was the scene in Rambo 3 where he uses the gun powder to close up a wound. Had that film on VHS so saw it a million times.

Yeh, heard that this morning. His gory effects were fascinating to me as a kid. I remember growing up in the 80's and looking at all of these lurid covers in the video shop and 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' was one of the films that embedded itself on my memory. The stills on the back from the film promised horrific levels of zombie gore.

Funny to think that this film, branded as a "video nasty" is now available in 4K. :pac:

Richard Rush died a few days ago at 91. Made a series of counter culture exploitation films in late 60s then a handful major studio productons. All of which were a bit left field. The Stunt Man was his best film, it was hardly seen at the time but did get a one week release here.

I remember THEM, because it scared the crap out of me, back in the 70's as a child.
Good movie

More well known for his song writing and production Jim Steinman has died aged 73. He did produce and write some records for films but his film link would be more to do with his songs appearing in films such as Old School, Footloose and Shrek 2. He had some career.

Italian poster legend Enzo Sciotti died a couple of weeks ago but I only read about it today. As a child of the eighties and a big fan of Italian horror in particular it was impossible to visit the video store and not be attracted to his work. RIP.
