Sad news coming out of the horror world this morning. Special effects legend John Carl Buechler has passed away at the age of 66 after a long battle with cancer.

Buechler is best known for his work on films such as Re-Animator, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers, Ghoulies, and From Beyond, not to mention being the director of Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood, which introduced fans to Kane Hodder’s Jason Voorhees.

I’ve seen Buechler on various documentaries & he always seemed like a very nice guy & was also a maestro in his profession. Thoughts & prayers go out to his family & friends as they mourn his passing. R.I.P.
