RIP Glenn Shadix (1952-2010)

[Alice]

This is sad. I was thinking about him earlier today (was listening to the Beetlejuice score), and decided to check up on him. I didn't know that he died on September 7.

In general, he is best remembered as Otho in Beetlejuice. But to Disney fans, he's likely best known as the voice of the Mayor of Halloween Town in the Nightmare Before Christmas.

According to reports, Glenn Shadix had mobility problems shortly before his death, and he was confined in a wheel chair. He accidentally fell, and struck his head. He died of blunt force trauma.

Rest in peace, Mr. Shadix. I'm gonna miss ya in movies, big guy.

Aw, that's depressing. :/ I didn't even know the name of the actor who played Otho before, but it's such a shame that he died.

Rest in peace.

"In this town, don't we love it now, everybody's waiting for the next surprise!"

Shame that the world will never hear that voice again. :c Horrible how he died too... may he rest in peace.

"Don't mind her. She's still upset because someone dropped a house on her sister."

We love you, Mr. Shadix!

[Frenchie and K. Sera]

Sad to say I've never actually heard of this gentleman before (haven't seen Beetlejuice in years, but I remember the Mayor character from "Nightmare"), but still, I'm sorry to hear that.
