In life, Death aka the Grim Reaper stalks us all, no one can beat this hunter, but many of us either mark our flesh with his image or have his likeness on out walls, desks and shelves, all to enforce us to strive forward, knowing it seeks us out at some point. As many artists want the accolades and glory, just enough to be remember, the Baron’s Crypt does on a weekly basis (at the top of the show) all that contribute to the horror genre. The Horror Times continues that with recognizing the passing of many contributors to the genre with our year-end wrap of the dead, but never forgotten.
