Wow.....Karen Black was a staple of my television childhood. I always loved cheesy mysteries and horrors and for a time, she was in every one! RIP Karen Black. Thank you for the entertainment you provided.

Oh Lord! Just when I thought I had forgotten! That movie absolutely terrified me as a boy. About 20 years ago I saw that doll on display somewhere in LA. Gave me the creeps even then.
Rest in Peace, Karen.

Oh, no, I had managed to finally forget that terrifying movie [years ago]. Hopefully, since I'm older now, though, I'll forget about it [once again] more quickly by "natural" means. Scariest dang movie ever...
RIP Karen...

DUDE!
Take that S#!+ down now. I still have nightmares from that. Especially the ending when she is squatting at the door digging the knife into the floor!

Me too. She was in them all, it seems. One of my favorites was “Burnt Offerings.”
