Tribute 2014: Those We Lost

The year 2014 saw the passing of far too many talented and beloved film and TV artists.  It was a bad year on that front, and the losses to the science fiction and horrors genre, especially, were numerous.

As always, any omissions in the following gallery are entirely unintentional.
