calliopes_pen | Rest In Peace, Shane Briant

Shane Briant passed away on May 27th, at the age of 74, following a long illness. May he rest in peace. I was trying to wait a few days to see if other horror themed sites (like Bloody Disgusting or Dread Central; something other than what I’ve linked to, which wasn’t The Mirror) would pick up the news about his death, but it seems they really haven’t. At least, not as of this writing.

I remember him best as the title character in The Picture of Dorian Gray (1973), which Dan Curtis produced. I rewatched the film last night on Tubi, if anyone’s curious about giving it a view.

He was also in Captain Kronos--Vampire Hunter (1974), which I’ve watched before (you can watch it here, on Youtube, for free; Hammer uploaded it). I have yet to see Straight On Till Morning (1972), so I obviously need to track that one down, along with Frankenstein And The Monster From Hell (1974).
