He was 91.MSTies may recall that he also played Jack Rankin in the movie featured in MST3K’s pilot, THE GREEN SLIME. The New York Times has an obit.

Love The Green Slime – wish RiffTrax or the MST3K reboot takes this one on at some point.
For the last two or three years I’ve been suggesting here and via direct email to Shout, how great it would be for Shout to interview Horton.
God.
Damn.
It.
I watched The Green Slime when it opened in theaters. I was given a yellow metal promo pin featuring the title of the film.
See you on the other side, RH.
Wagons ho!
What a SUCKY year-of-death 2016 has been so far, be it musicians, actors, or other celebrities.
I’m surprised that MST3K never went back to do a full episode of The Green Slime in later years. I have a recording of the movie and it was perfect for the MST3K treatment.
RIP Mr. Horton – I LOVE this movie, and have a great time every time I watch it.
Rights issues.
You’re right. The Green Slime can be watched multiple times and is fun for the whole family.
There’s a certain reboot that is strongly considering putting it through the spanking machine.
I’ve said too much.
