This is horrible news, RIP Moustapha Akkad. http://horrorchannel.com/index.php?name=Ne...rticle&sid=3724 Halloween exec producer and franchise head, Moustapha Akkad, has died as a result of the injuries he sustained in Wednesday night's deadly bombings in the Middle East. His thirty-year-old daughter, Reem, was also killed according to various news sources. The blasts occured amongst three separate Western hotel chains in the Jordanian capital of Amman. Fifty-nine people were killed. Officials obviously suspect Al Qaeda's involvement due to the timing, precision and location of the attacks which took place before 9pm last night. Two Americans reportedly died in those bombings. Akkad suffered had suffered a heart attack, according to our sources, he passed away while at the hospital last night. NBC News reports that Reem, a mother of two, and Akkad were in a Hyatt Hotel lobby when the bomb inside went off. I haven't seen this posted anywhere here yet, and wasn't sure if I should put it in CE or in here. Anyway, I hope everything ends up ok with him, this really sucks.
