He Knows Just As Much About The Supernatural As He Does About Interior Design

Glenn Shadix will be best remembered for his portrayal of Otho, the metaphysical designer in Beetlejuice, as to a lesser extent the parrish father who presided over a rash of "suicides" in Heathers. He died yesterday his home in Birmingham at 58.

The actor's bio credits numerous TV appearances, including Seinfeld, and over 30 films - including others for Tim Burton like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Planet Of The Apes. His website also describes him as a photographer and gay rights activist (shock!).

A cause of death was not immediately known, but his sister told The Birmingham News that he had been using a wheelchair for mobility and appeared to have fallen in his kitchen and struck his head. A memorial will be held on Saturday.
