Joe Bob Briggs Pays Loving Tribute To All Whom We Lost In The Horror Genre In 2021 [Video]

2021 was a rough year for many. One group of people who got hit hard by the pandemic and just life in general was the Horror genre. Never fear though, the leader of the Drive-In, Joe Bob Briggs has a way we can look back on those we lost.

“You know how every year at the Oscars they do an ‘In Memoriam’ for all the people that died that year, and they always leave out all the people we horror fans care about? We’re gonna do our own,” Host Joe Bob Briggs said at the beginning of the below video.

This year’s “In Memoriam 2021” tribute video once again honors the “departed luminaries from the world of horror that tend to be overlooked and undervalued by the Academy.”

The video pays tribute to folks like Angel Heart director Alan Parker, Interview With the Vampire writer Anne Rice, The Blob actor Art LaFleur, My Bloody Valentine 3D‘s Chris Carnel, SFX artist Cleve Hall, Krampus actress Conchata Ferrell, Evil Dead II actor Danny Hicks, actress/writer Daria Nicolodi, Sleepaway Camp actress Desiree Gould, Day of the Dead actor Gary Klar, “The Addams Family” star Felix Silla, Zombi 2 SFX artist Giannetto De Rossi, Them! actress Joan Weldon, Child’s Play 2 director John Lafia, and Phantasm actor Kenneth V. Jones.

As Joe Bob says…”some people forget them, we never do, because we are Drive-In Mutants” Amen, Joe Bob, Amen.
