Tom Atkins (1935 - )
Film Deaths
- Creepshow (1982) [Stan]: Bleeds to death from his throat when his son (Joe Hill) stabs a voodoo doll with a needle in its neck.
- Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) [Dr. Dan Challis]: Though he is alive at the end of the film, the final scene implies that he's about to be die in some way, so I'll list this as an implied death.
- The New Kids (1985) [Mac McWilliams]: Killed in a car accident (along with Jean De Baer) off-screen.
- Night of the Creeps (1986) [Detective Ray Cameron]: Burned to death when he lights his cigarette lighter in a gasoline-soaked basement to destroy the parasitic slug like creatures and the remaining possessed/zombified students (there is an alternative ending which shows him now charred and possessed by one or more of the surviving slug like parasites, which then come bursting out of his head decapitating him).
