I know this happened a couple of weeks ago and meant to put up a post on it but just kept getting sidetracked. But I couldn’t not post it since Costello appeared in one of my favorites, and highly underrated films, Let’s Scare Jessica to Death (1971), directed by John Hancock. She hadn’t made too many appearances in the horror genre in her career, other than small roles in the 1983 anthology Nightmares. But her performance as the homeless Emily in Jessica helps give the film that dreamlike or surreal quality to it. It really is a haunting performance and one that every horror fan needs to experience.

Our thoughts go out to her and her family during this difficult time.
