RIP Lou Perryman

[Don of the Dead]

I am sad to announce that Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 actor Lou Perryman who played the loveable LG was murdered today.

The man who killed Lou is in custody. Lou was also in Poltergeist & The Blues Brothers.
I just talked to Lou the other day via MySpace and got him Count Kaufmans contact info as a possible guest for Crypticon. After that him and I chatted off and on a bit. I kept calling him "Mr. Perryman" and he finally told me "Don, you can call me Blue or you can call me Lou" It is a great disappointment that I never got to meet this great man face to face.

RIP Lou Perryman. God be with your loved ones.

Wow what a serious bummer that is. I was just watching him today in the extras for TCM@ Gruesome edition. What a true loss to the Horror Community. I all weirded out now that I had just guest requested im today. RIP Mr Perryman.

Didn't Ken Evert die on the same day a year earlier?
Sorry to hear this loss.
RIP LOU

Yes he did April 1st 2008 Ken Dire for cancer.

On a side note, my buddy Bill "Leatherface 2" Johnson sent me a autographed pic of Lou that we will proudly display in the Texas Chainsaw Chili Room this November, and we will dedicate the room to Lou!

And Bill says "Hi" to all his Crypticon fans!
