Very sad news as it’s being reported that Irwin Keyes, who played “Ravelli” in Rob Zombie’s 2003 horror film House of 1,000 Corpses, has passed away at age 63.

His passing was reported by family member Rene Galarza, who stated:

It’s with deep sympathy that I’m writing this post. Early this morning my family was informed that our beloved uncle, brother, teammate and friend, Irwin Keyes has had his last curtain call. He is now an angel for us all and will be watching down. Our family wishes to thank all of you who have been a part of his life. He will be missed very much.

Keyes had been acting for nearly four decades, appearing in such films as Disturbed alongside Malcolm McDowell, Nice Girls Don’t Explode, Wristcutters: A Love Story , and an episode of Tales From The Crypt. He was also a voice actor for several video games.

We send our deepest condolences to his friends and family.
