Almost made it through the halfway point of the month without losing a very familiar face in the horror genre. Not because she made so many movies, but she appeared in one specific one that made her very famous to us horror fans. Tisa Farrow, at the age of 72, passed away today. She is best known for her role as the female lead in Lucio Fulci’s Zombie (1979), co-starring with Ian McCulloch, Richard Johnson, Peirluigi Conti aka Al Cliver. She did appear in a couple of other genre related titles, including a great little made-for-TV movie a year before Zombie, called The Initiation of Sarah (1978). The second to her last role was in Joe D’Amato’s Antropophagus (1981). The movie life didn’t set well with her and decided to end her career and get into nursing.

While we applaud her decision to work at helping people, us horror fans will always have a soft spot in our twisted little hearts for the work that she did appear in. Our thoughts go out to her friends and family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace, Tisa.
