From the photos, Savini appeared to be in a hospital bed and wearing a neck brace. There was also a wound on top of Savini’s head.
Savini, 74, announced Friday that he had been in an accident.
He said he was pulling out of the Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival in Nashville he was set to appear at in April because the accident left him “a bit incapacitated” and needed time to heal.
