Accident

Magliochetti played a zombie extra in the George A. Romero film Day of the Dead. In one scene, a large group of extras are lowered underground via an open freight elevator. As the scene transpired, the wind blew a c-stand down from the opening above. It struck Magliochetti on the head causing massive bleeding beneath his rubber mask. He still has a scar where it hit him.
