Death of director Andre De Toth (House of Wax)

[marty888]

In spite of the fact that he had only one eye, and therefore no depth perception, he directed what is considered to be the best of the 3D movies!

Yeah I know, but I still haven't gotten over it. So sad.

Yeah I know, I still haven't gotten over it. -wink-

honestly though...how'd you even stumble upon it?

:lol: Don't know which is worse - The bump or the fact that no one responded to his death back in 2002.

I'll never forget where I was when I found out he had died : sitting in this chair, at this computer, reading this thread, about thirty seconds ago.

Stay strong brother. We'll get through this together. Never. Forget.

[Why So Blu?]

Mods should start warning people for bumping threads with unfunny responses. I actually enjoyed House of Wax (2005)....

[Crocker Jarmen]

I was thinking, Wow, that dude lived a long time. Then I saw the thread was 11 years old :lol:

[Josh-da-man]

He would have been 101 in a couple of weeks.

RAMROD
PITFALL
HOUSE OF WAX

What else did he direct?

What's funny (yeah it's an ad lib but still) is that Lloyd can read that sentence instantly but had extreme difficulties reading earlier in the movie.
