The one universal truth every human must eventually face is that death comes for us all. Rich, poor, famous, infamous, everyone eventually shuffles off this mortal coil. This morning brings with it the sad news of the passing of horror legend Sid Haig.

Boasting a Hollywood career that stretches back to the 1960s, and a resume with over 100 acting credits on it, Haig has appeared in lots of memorable projects and played lots of memorable roles. Chief among them is the delightfully twisted Captain Spaulding.

FWIW...back in my younger days...I actually met some people like the three in "The Devils Rejects"..
Not that they went out and kidnapped people...just their genral demeanor and lack of any compassion whatsoever for their fellow man..

Sid Haig made his first (and lasting) impression on me during the dvd extras for House of 1000 Corpses (2003).
During the Knock Knock Jokes about Tiny and the Stump (I think I was stoned at the time???).
After that, I instantly recognized Capt Spaulding in every movie he was in.
