Back in November of 2012, HorrorHound Weekend had the honor of having Jamie Lee Curtis as a guest, where fans were going nuts to have the chance to see and meet her. But when I heard her sister was also at the show taking photos and documenting the event, that got me a little more excited. Kelly Curtis had starred in Michele Soavi’s 1991 film The Sect, aka The Devil’s Daughter, appearing alongside the great Herbert Lom. Nothing against her younger sister Jamie but wanted to at least meet her and tell her how much I enjoyed her only entry in the horror genre. I think she was a bit surprised when someone came up to her to ask her if she was Jamie’s sister but then asked her about The Sect! We only chatted for a few minutes about her working on the film, about Soavi, and of course, Herbert Lom, but she was super nice and even took a photo with me.

It was in the news yesterday, announced by her sister, that she had passed away, I know she appeared in more than a few productions both in film and TV, but because us horror fans are a dedicated lot, because of this single title in the genre, she will be remembered by a lot of us fans. Our thoughts go out to her and her family during this difficult time. Rest in Peace, Kelly.
