Scream Queen Hazel Court Dies at 82
Sad news today, folks, as FEARnet and the entire horror community mourn the death of Scream Queen extraordinaire Hazel Court, who, according to Comcast.net, died of a heart attack on Tuesday in her home near Lake Tahoe.
Probably best known for her cleavage-laden work in Roger Corman?s classic Poe adaptation The Raven, in which starred alongside Vincent Price, Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre, Court was no stranger to rubbing elbows with the icons who changed the scope of 1950s and 60s horror. The Raven was only one of the five movies in which Corman directed Court?her other memorable titles, including The Premature Burial, The Masque of the Red Death, The Curse of Frankenstein and Devil Girl from Mars, helped propel her to Scream Queen status and made her a favorite among genre fans. Here at FEARnet, we extend our sympathies to Court?s family, and thank her for her many years of memorable work in the genre.
