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.  

To those we have lost, let me say this: I am truly grateful (and fortunate) to have shared time on this Earth with you. 

Thank you, always, for the laughs and screams, the memories, and the beautiful art. Rest in peace and Godspeed.

    At the very least, these days we can preserve their work for the future.
