Along with Wes Craven (August 2, 1939 - August 30, 2015) who died just two years ago and the more recent loss of George Romero (February 4, 1940 - July 16, 2017), horror fans now mourn the loss of yet another master filmmaker who excelled in the genre: writer, director, producer, and actor Tobe Hooper (January 25, 1943 - August 26, 2017) who has died at age 74.

Guest contributor Bob DiMucci has provided this tribute to his filmmaking career:
