Rest In Peace: Filmmaker/SFX Artist Ryan Nicholson Has Passed Away

It’s always tough to lose someone from the horror community which, to many of us, is like a family. That’s why it’s with heavy hearts that we’re announcing the passing of filmmaker and special effects artist Ryan Nicholson.

Ryan’s wife Megan Nicholson made the following statement

“I am greatly saddened to let all his friends and fans know this heartbreaking news. Ryan’s fight with cancer has come to an end. He fought with dignity and looked it right in the face. He made a lot of others with cancer feel strong and gave them the fight they needed. He made everyone who talked to him laugh and feel like today is the best day. He did that every day. Every day with Ryan was a great day. He loved you all and wanted to make you all proud. As Ryan would say, much love bro!”

In the LA horror community, Ryan was a regular participant in a wide range of local events. Professionally, he worked on many major motion pictures, including The Predator, Final Destination, Dreamcatcher, The Chronicles of Riddick, Blade: Trinity, and Blair Witch.

All of us here at Dread Central send our sincerest condolences to Ryan’s family, friends, and fans. He was one in a million and will truly be missed.
