It’s strange that as I grow older, turning 60 this year, it seems more and more people that I grew up watching on the screen are leaving. Obvious, I know. But it hits harder now than before. There are some true icons listed here with some connection to the horror genre, as slight as it might be, as well as those that worked hard to help to promote the genre. And for each and every single one of them, I thank you for what you have given us fans of cinema. Your work will live on and never be forgotten.

Lar Park Lincoln – Rest in Peace

As horror fans know, most all who did battle with Jason Voorhees either barely escaped or ended up as another statistic. Out of all the Final Girls to do battle with that undying monster in that series, I feel that it was the character of Tina Shepard in Part 7: The New Blood. So, it was sad news of her passing, on Tuesday the 22nd. She didn’t appear in a ton of horror films, though did appear in House II: The Second Story (1987) and an episode of Freddy’s Nightmares (1988), but she still left her mark when she did. But she also spent a lot of her time helping younger actors get their start, by starting the Actors Audition Studios, based in Dallas, TX.

Our thoughts go out to her friends and family during this difficult time. She may be gone, but as long as there are Friday the 13th fans (which there ALWAYS will be), she will live on. Rest in Peace.
