Today is a sad day for those of us who love our televised horror TV shows, as producer / director Kim Manners has passed away.
Manners who has worked most recently on “Supernatural” lost his battle with cancer on Sunday. Kim directed more episodes of the show than anyone else including every season finale. He also worked on “Brisco County, Jr.” and “The X-files”.
Warner Bros. Television, which makes “Supernatural,” released the following statement Monday evening:
“Supernatural” executive producer and director Kim Manners passed away last night in Los Angeles, following a battle with cancer. Below please find a statement from “Supernatural” creator & executive producer Eric Kripke:
“Everyone at ‘Supernatural’ is walking around in a daze, shocked and absolutely devastated. Kim was a brilliant director; more than that, he was a mentor and friend. He was one of the patriarchs of the family, and we miss him desperately. He gave so much to ‘Supernatural,’ and everything we do on the show, now and forever, is in memory of him.”
We here at Dread Central wish to take this time to honor the man, and wish his friends, family, and constituents our deepest condolences.
