He was my angel, my husband, my best friend and always will be.
He adored his family, his friends and his fans, she continued.

This came as a shock to all of us.
We, as a family, are asking that our privacy and time to mourn be respected.
Haig got his start in horror with 1967sSpider Baby or, the Maddest Story Ever Told.
He was then cast in Rob ZombiesHouse of 1,000 Corpsesas Captain Spaulding and its sequelThe Devils Rejects.
But three weeks out from shooting, I got a call from Sid Haig.
Im like, holy sh, this is a serious business.
Because Sid, hes big and burly, and now hes tiny as a skeleton.
So, I was like, oh man.
I kind of realized, yeah, hes in rough shape.
It was on me to verify that nothing went wrong.
So I got him in, I shot everything I could shoot.
Haig also appeared in Quentin TarantinosJackie Brownand would later re-team with the filmmaker onKill Bill, Vol.
In his own post, Zombie simply wrote, Horray for Captain Spaulding.
Gone but not forgotten.
