His impressive resume has earned him the nickname "Scream King," and he is also a best-selling author. Furthermore, Butler holds the unique distinction of being the only actor in film history to be consecutively killed by legendary villains Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Freddy Krueger, and the zombies from Night of the Living Dead.
