GOODBYE, MICHAEL VILLELLA

You made your mark as serial killer Russ Thorn, "the Driller Killer," in the cult classic, The Slumber Party Massacre, one of the genre's most influential, and as such, joined the gruesome ranks of Norman, Leatherface, Michael, Jason & Freddy.

Your Slumber stint lead to a nifty cameo in Sorority House Massacre II and roles in Wild Orchid, Wild Orchid II: Two Shades of Blue, Gotham (1988), Love Letters, The White Room, Audition and the slasher documentary, Sleepless Nights, with television appearances on Amazing Stories ("Blue Man Down") and Getting Away with Murder ("Enter Seth Silver") 

Your fans placed you on a pedestal, but you were always down to earth: a regular guy who made good by becoming a respected, horror legend.
