Stuntman and actor George P. Wilbur passed away Wednesday afternoon at the age of 81. Many here may know Wilbur most from playing Michael Myers in 1988's HALLOWEEN 4:The Return of Michael Myers, and reprising the role in HALLOWEEN:The Curse of Michael Myers.

I didn't see that one until very recently. I read that it almost didn't get reported. Quite a sobering through.

I also bring some news as well.

RIP a legend and a pioneer.

Ted Thomas the legendary Hong Kong dubber passed away last year in November. If you've been in this fandom for a long while, or watched Kung Fu movies, you would absolutely know his voice.

Ted Thomas' influence on dubbing in general is understated. I know TK prefers subs over dubs, but the fandom lost a pretty influential and important person. TK should consider doing a segment on him some time.
