WOMEN OF HORROR: HAZEL COURT

SO REGAL SHE CALLED HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY "HORROR QUEEN". 

Hazel Court has worked with almost all of the biggies:  Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Peter Lorre . . . hell, even Jack Nicholson!  If she hadn't missed out on Bela Lugosi, she'd have something of an unbeatable hand.  She's been menaced by the leather-clad DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS, haunted by a ghost ship, engaged to the sociopathic Dr. Frankenstein and threatened by his monster, ripped to pieces by a demonic bird and stalked by disembodied hands.  Hazel Court has an impressive horror Cv:
  • GHOST SHIP (1952)
  • DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS (1954)
  • CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1957)
  • THE MAN WHO COULD CHEAT DEATH (1959)
  • DOCTOR BLOOD'S COFFIN (1961)
  • THRILLER "The Terror In Teakwood"  (1961)
  • THE PREMATURE BURIAL (1962)
  • THE RAVEN (1963)
  • TWILIGHT ZONE "The Fear"  (1964)
  • MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH (1964)
  • OMEN III:  THE FINAL CONFLICT  (1983)
  • FLESH AND BLOOD: THE HAMMER HERITAGE OF HORROR (1994)
