The American screenwriter and film director Tom tragically passed away on Saturday, February 14, 2026.
"Tom’s indelible performance as Frankenstein in ‘The Monster Squad’ is a highlight of my modest filmography, doubtless aided by the masterful make-up designed by Stan Winston, sculpted by Tom Woodruff Jr., and applied by Zoltan Elek," Dekker lamented.
He continued, "Having been knocked out by his performance as Francis Dollarhyde in Michael Mann’s ‘Manhunter,’ I desperately wanted Tom to read the script and consider the part, but I knew that nabbing him was probably a long shot. Nonetheless, he agreed to meet me at his Hollywood apartment to discuss the role."
