Rest In Peace!

From Dead Central 

Rest in Peace: Josephine StreinerIt's a really tearful day for fans of George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead. Just hours after announcing the passing of Bill Hinzman, even more sad news has come our way.

Born in 1918, Russ and Gary Streiner's mother, Josephine Streiner, has passed away. Josephine (pictured right) played one of the ghouls in the film, and it was her car that Barbra wrecked while trying to escape Hinzman's graveyard ghoul.

Rest in Peace: Bill Hinzman

It's with deep sadness that we bring to you the news of the passing of Bill Hinzman this evening. We've lost another icon of the industry and more importantly one of the nicest and most genuine people we've ever had the chance of knowing.

Best known to fans everywhere as Zombie #1 or the Graveyard Zombie from the George A. Romero classic Night of the Living Dead, Hinzman has died after losing a bout with cancer. He was 75.

Bill Hinzman worked on numerous projects over the years, several of which were with Romero, such as There's Always Vanilla, Hungry Wives aka Season of the Witch, and of course The Crazies. On his own he tried his hand at directing with one of our favorite flicks, Flesh Eater.

A fixture on the convention circuit, Bill was always there with a smile for fans, often appearing in costume as the famed ghoul we all grew up with.

at the end of the day i shall include them both in my prayers. may they both rest in peace.
