On Saturday, September 21, 2019, my light, my heart, my true love, my King, the other half of my soul, Sidney, passed from this realm on to the next. He has returned to the Universe, a shining star in her heavens. He was my angel, my husband, my best friend and always will be. He adored his family, his friends and his fans. This came as a shock to all of us.

We, as a family, are asking that our privacy and time to mourn be respected.

He would retire for a bit until 2003 when he appeared as Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie's House of 1000 Corpses.

Haig reprised his fan favorite role of Captain Spaulding in Rob Zombie's 3 From Hell, which has already been completed and is set for release this year. Other upcoming projects included Hanukkah (also completed for a 2020 release) and Abruptio, which was currently filming. We're not sure if Haig completed his work on the film, but the project is set for a release in 2020.

As for 3 From Hell, the film hit theaters this month.
