I just found out early this morning:
“Angus Scrimm passed away peacefully tonight surrounded by his friends and loved ones. He was 89 years old. His performance as the Tall Man is a towering achievement in horror film history. He was the last in a long line of classic horror movie stars. Angus was a terrific actor and an even better friend. He will be missed.” -Don Coscarelli
I always knew this was going to happen eventually, but I kept thinking "He'll be around to see the premiere of Ravager.."
ANGUS SCRIMM R.I.P. 1926-2016

Wasn't even 90. RIP. I guess RaVager will have to be the final film after all (as I always thought).

RIP Angus. You played the BEST horror villain of all time in my opinion. Nothing has or ever will come close to scaring me as much as The Tall Man and he's been doing it since I was an 80's kid. Thank you for being a major part of that unforgettable experience. It was a hell of a ride and you will be missed.

RIP to one of the most humble nicest horror icons in history.
Truly wish he could be here for Ravager release and the future DVD commentary will be sorely lacking now without Angus.
We should be thankful that at his age he was willing to do a Phantasm 5 and give us fans one more chance to see the Tall Man.

Rest in Peace, good sir. A noble figure in horror cinema and the world is a bit less bright without him in it.

I am so sad to hear Angus Scrimm our beloved Tall Man passed away! I had the privilege to meet and talk with him along with the rest of the cast at Flashback Weekend in 2008 in Chicago to celebrate the 30th anniversary. He was such a sweet guy! He will be missed!

This has been an awful month for me. Lemmy, Bowie, Angus...
I guess RaVager really will be the final installment, at least of the classic Phantasm franchise (it's impossible to say what will become of the series if it should ever be remade). I hope this next entry wraps things up fittingly, to capstone this artist's incredible career.
R.I P.

you guys are so awesome for posting so much love The Tall Man, He was an amazing actor I will never forget he had so much Talent, they just don't make em like him anymore. He was one of my most treasured favorite actors of all times, he maybe be gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!! I'm so glad the Lord allowed us to have him this long. In Every movie there was an auroa about him, the way he dressed and spoke made him seem as if he spoke British English, maybe it was the great way he was raised, or maybe it's just his awesome classic upbringing, what ever it was it made him One of a Kind! Now he L.I.P= Live in Peace Love you forever Tall Man <3 Many Prayers for fans friends and family <3 by the way I love your Photo with him Phantasm Phan!
