Title: RIP Dawn Of The Dead's Clayton Hill
Post by: Cinemacabre on July 27, 2009, 07:13:22 PM

Anyone who goes to conventions, especially on the East Coast knows the "sweater zombie" from Dawn Of The Dead; Clayton Hill. The way I hear it, he passed last night from pneumonia, after suffering a stroke. He was a wonderful guy and a real pleasure to be around. I met him at last year's ScreamFest and he was terrific.

Ouch!  I'd not heard this.  Clayton and I were friends and he gave me an awesome interview for Scary Monsters (he lives only a few hours away from me).  He was a wonderful man,  He did a lot for us as Monster Kids and a lot for us as a patriot of our country.  He was a wonderful man.  I have to go and shed some tears.

An extremely nice man. He and Sharon embraced their celebrity status and were great fun to talk to. I had a table opposite them at at least two conventions, and was always happy to see them there. I do hope Sharon is holding up okay. Johnny Scareshock, if you have a P.O. for them, send me a private message with it.

Dear UMA FANG-MILY,
... CLAYTON and SHARON were a most Blessed Couple.
... Their Love, always, shone, forth, effortlessly.
... Their Love, of Life, reflected, in their Love, for each other, was a real Testimony, to the enduring Reality, of LOVE, as The Living, Palpable, Powerful, REALITY, to be, most, desired.
... This Sublime Blessing made any Project, in which they participated, an unforgettable Joy; a Treasure, to remember, and, commemorate, for having shared, with them.
... I, too, enjoyed the undiminished pleasure, of sharing, in several Conventions, with them.
... CLAYTON, may GOD Grant, to You, HIS EVERNOW PEACE, LIGHT, LIFE, and JOY!
... SHARON, May you be cradled, in, and saturated, by, THE EVERNOW LOVE DIVINE.
... This life is, not, what this life is all about. CLAYTON and SHARON were/are True Ambassadors, of this Truth.
EXANIMO EVERNOW,
TIMMY & THE BARON & BARONESS & FRIENDS, GOO-O-OODD-D!, B.G.G.

Ah...I never met him in person, but I loved his performance as the most "confused" zombie.  He always seemed to get laughs during theatre screenings. To hear he was a great person too is no surprise.  RIP Clayton.
