She had the most striking eyes and beautiful hair..

So sad to read about her long battle with this horrible cancer....I hope she rides a big hog onto a peaceful resting place.

She starred in THE most frightening TV show I have EVER watched: Trilogy of Terror.

I saw it first when I was in college. We watching it in the lounge of our dorm. About a half hour after it was over, my roomie and I took a LONG knife and went up and down the hall, sticking that knife under the doors of various rooms. Scared the bejeebers out of our dorm-mates!

That's what I immediately think of when I hear her name. RIP, Karen.

Liked her in "Family Plots". Sad she has passed.

Trilogy of terror is what turned me off of Karen Black. I had nightmares for weeks after that. In fact I have the same dream every few years that I think came from watching that. I am running around the outside of where the walls meet the ceiling being chased by a little man with a knife, the tricky part is when you come to the corner and turn around and he is not there, I have to wait till I see which way he is coming from before I know which way to start running again. No wonder I wake up tired. She was a good actress just didn't like the movies she did, or the way eyes looked at you. jmo RIP

A good obit and a good career appraisal, each of which dwell on the films that originally made Black a star:

Karen Black. (Telegraph obit)

R.I.P., Karen Black: 74 Years and 194 Characters. (Grantland)

I am heartbroken. So many roles. So many movie memories

That was the best. We always refereed to it as "Eeeeegie beeegeee beeegeee". Out of all the good films she was in this stands out to so many people.


RIP Karen Black

Its been how many years since that movie? And I can still clearly see that little voodoo troll doll thingy and those teeth. Shudder. Scared the carp outta me.

I have concluded we are old. RIP Karen

I just saw this...didn't hear about it when she died. First time I saw her I was a teenager and watch Burnt Offerings. Scared me to death. Still scared of chauffeurs to this day.

I loved burnt offerings as well. She sure did have the most striking eyes! She was a great actress. RIP :grouphug:
