Billy Chapin RIIP: Hunter of the Night

The Deaths in 2016 site lists under December 2:

• Billy Chapin, 72, American child actor (The Night of the Hunter)

• William McClellan "Billy" Chapin (December 28, 1943 – December 3, 2016) 

Note this next excerpt from Billy Chapin's wiki page:

1955
	The Night of the Hunter	John Harper

This film stands out for two reasons-- the twin 55 in the year, and the "Hunter" is an addition to the "Big Cat Theme" pattern-cluster... a cat after all is a hunter of the Night.   Note from the films wiki page:

Based on	The Night of the Hunter, a novel by Davis Grubb

Keep in mind that his surname Grubb is a cryptic "grub"-- food... albeit the etymology dictionary reveals the origin to be "dig".  Note from his wiki page:

• Davis Grubb (July 23, 1919 – July 24, 1980)

He died one day after his birthday.  His birthday is also an addition to the "Targeting Family Deaths" pattern-cluster given that my mother passed away last year on July 23.  His birthday and date of death generates a "July __, 23, 24/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.   So to bridge the gap, and using the inner twin worlds formula ... and including a "curve ball", on the July 22nd wiki page we arrive at:

• 1998 – Fritz Buchloh, German footballer and coach (b. 1909)
• 2000 – Carmen Martín Gaite, Spanish author, poet, and playwright (b. 1925)

• Fritz Buchloh (November 26, 1909 – July 22, 1998) 

• Carmen Martín Gaite (8 December 1925 – 23 July 2000)

The name "Fritz" is an addition to the "Names Ending in 'z'" pattern-cluster.  As you can see, there's a bit of a conflict with Gaite's date of death-- the 23 instead of the 22nd... still, there are no accidents when it comes to the inner twin world.    Note from Gaite's wiki page :

• She was married to fellow writer Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio. 

The middle name Sanchez is an addition to the recent "Names Ending in 'z'" pattern-cluster.

• Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio (born 4 December 1927) is a Spanish writer

Today is his birthday!! Billy Chapin's death was "timely"... designed to connect with Rafael's birthday.  Back now to Billy Chapin's wiki page, note this excerpt:

He is the brother of former child actors Lauren Chapin, known as Kathy “Kitten” Anderson from the TV series Father Knows Best (1954–60) and Michael Chapin, another successful child performer of the 1940s and 1950s. 

Lauren's nickname "Kitten" is an addition to the "Big Cat Theme" pattern-cluster, and note from her wiki page:

• Lauren Chapin (born May 23, 1945)

She was born on the day of the year where 222 days remain, an addition to the "Identical Number Sequence" pattern-cluster... sequences of 2's are a particular inner twin trade mark signature.   Note from his brothers wiki page:

• Michael Chapin (born July 25, 1936)

We now have a "July 22, 23, 24, 25/ Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.  
Lauren's and Michael's birthdays generate a "May 23, __, July 25/ Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster, with the gap being "June 24".  

Note from the opening paragraph of Billy's wiki page:

Christie Cooper in the 1953 family feature The Kid from Left Field, starring Dan Dailey, Anne Bancroft and Lloyd Bridges and little John Harper in Charles Laughton's 1955 film noir classic The Night of the Hunter, opposite actors Robert Mitchum and Lillian Gish.

Note from the wiki pages of the notable persons mentioned:

• Daniel James "Dan" Dailey, Jr. (December 14, 1915 – October 16, 1978)
• Anna Maria Louisa Italiano^[1] (September 17, 1931 – June 6, 2005),
• Lloyd Vernet Bridges, Jr. (January 15, 1913 – March 10, 1998)
• Charles Laughton (1 July 1899 – 15 December 1962)
• Robert Charles Durman Mitchum (August 6, 1917 – July 1, 1997)
• Lillian Diana Gish^[1] (October 14, 1893 – February 27, 1993) 

Some of the clusters are fairly obvious, butt some are less so.
