WOMEN OF HORROR: KAREN BLACK

THE VOLUPTUOUS HORROR OF KAREN BLACK! 

Surprisingly, for someone whom many people associate with the horror genre, Karen Black didn't do all that much of it.  But what she did was so memorable!  She had other roles in spooky television and frightening films but it's really for her tour de force four roles in the Dan Curtis TV movie TRILOGY OF TERROR that we induct her into the women of horror pantheon.
  • CIRCLE OF FEAR "Bad Connection"  (1972)
  • TRILOGY OF TERROR  (1975)
  • BURNT OFFERINGS  (1976)
  • FAMILY PLOT  (1976)
  • CAPRICORN ONE  (1977)
  • HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES  (2003)
