If you’re a fan of the show, you’ll be happy to know it was renewed today!
Personally, I haven’t yet checked out Seth MacFarlane’s new series “The Orville,“ which has been airing on FOX since early September. The show, inspired by “Star Trek,” centers on the crew of the Orville as they embark on various diplomatic and exploratory missions, and Episode 8 airs tonight, November 2.
But we’re here to talk about Episode 6, which was titled “Krill” and premiered on October 12. Why, you ask? Because horror legend Tom Savini made a cameo appearance!
Well, his head did.
As Savini himself revealed on Instagram, the severed head featured in the episode was a replica of Savini’s, only without his iconic facial hair. Savini’s friend Howard Berger, of the famous KNB EFK Group, is on the show’s special makeup effects team, and it was Berger who included the severed head as a little Easter egg for horror fans.
Tom Savini has of course decapitated countless people over the years, but this isn’t the first time he’s lost his own. Savini’s head was also cut off in Lost Boys: The Tribe!
