Monopoly Events, who worked with Winburn, shared a touching tribute from the man, reports The Sun.

“We are extremely saddened to learn of the passing of James Winburn, who joined us for For the Love of Horror last month. James was an absolute pleasure to be around and shared some incredible stories with everyone over the weekend. Our sincere condolences go out to his family, friends and fans. #RIP.”

If you’re Myers fans, you may remember the scene where he was shot six times by Dr. Samuel Loomis, falling over the balcony, only to mysteriously disappear afterwards… a key moment in the career of Winburn, who also starred in The Fog and Escape From New York, among others.

A scenario worthy of Hollywood, no less! Two of the best players on the planet, if not the two best, playing for the same team in the MLB, the Los Angeles Angels, battling for the big Classic. WOW!

In the last few weeks, baseball fans have been treated to some very high quality baseball, also rekindling many extinguished flames in some fans.

That said, the Americans took the field as defending champions, and they lost 3-2 to the impressive Japanese and the GREAT Shohei Ohtani.

To get back to the Hollywood chapter, it came down to the ninth inning, where Ohtani came to the mound to close the books. He started his shift with a walk to Jeff McNeil, only to force a double play to Mookie Betts.

At that point, the score was still 3-2 in favor of Japan with one out to go.

Trout came to the plate to battle his opponent, friend and teammate on the Angels. Fans of the “ball” witnessed a great battle between the two stars, where Ohtani got the better of Trout by passing him in the mitt… thus giving the championship to his nation.

Here is this spectacular battle between the Japanese and the American:
