Is there a valid reference for his birth date anywhere? The article cited as providing that information says nothing about it whatsoever, only giving a vague "early 50s" as his age. I'm willing to believe 1956 is probably the right year, but born on Halloween? Sure there is a 1 in 365 chance of it, but given his eccentric and artistic personality and interests (particularly those seen in Oddities) it seems like more likely that date was made up. Unless a reliable reference is found the date should be removed.
