A hero and genius in my eyes. I got to meet him back in June. I cried in his arms and told him how much he meant to me. He smiled, hugged me and signed my magnet. Super humble and quite the coolest fucking person ever❤️ thank you Captain Spaulding pic.twitter.com/Mhk1SN6EVf
"One of the all-time greats has left us. Thank you Sid Haig for all the great performances you've given us over the years. You may be gone, but you'll live forever on film," another user tweeted.
"RIP #sidhaig. Sad to hear of his passing, but us fans will always have his work to watch and reflect on," someone else wrote. "There are fewer horror characters creepier and more engaging than #CaptainSpaulding!"
Will never forget being riveted by Sid Haig’s arresting portrayal of the immortal Captain Spaulding in @RobZombie’s 2005 grindhouse classic, #TheDevilsRejects which I watched with my brother in the perfect venue - a drive-in theater.
