I had the pleasure of meeting Cleve several times myself over the years, usually at Sinister Creature Con in Sacramento. He was alway friendly, always upbeat, and always thrilled to spend time with his fans and friends.

His extensive filmography includes working behind the scenes on horror hits like Re-Animator, Ghoulies, TerrorVision, and too many others to list. Most horror fans also knew him as the host of Monster Man on SYFY. Expect more detailed tributes to Cleve in the coming days and weeks. For now, all of us here at Dread Central send our sincerest condolences to his fans, friends, and also his family. He will truly be missed.
