Bill McGhee, the hulking but sweet-natured axe-man of DON'T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT has died in his native Texas of cancer at the age of 76.

Dallas News obit

That is a model obit...very informative. A lovely tribute.

Though it doesn't mention the name "Larry Buchanan" even once. For shame.

I met McGhee two years ago at the first IT CAME FROM DALLAS shindig. He was a quiet, gracious, and gentle man who was moving very gingerly but stayed for the whole evening and was visited in his seat by a stream of former colleagues and well-wishers who were obviously extremely fond of him.

RIP
