R.I.P. Betsy Palmer, Who Played Pamela Voorhees, Passes At Age 88
It is with sad hearts that we report that Betsy Palmer, the actress who played Pamela Voorhees in Friday the 13th and its sequel, has passed away at age 88. She died this past Friday in a Connecticut hospice care center.
Palmer began her acting career in the 50’s, obtaining many small roles in TV shows such as “Inner Sanctum“, “The Web“, “Lux Video Theatre“, and more.
Interestingly, Palmer did not hold her role as Ms. Voorhees in high regard, saying that she only took on the role to purchase a car. In fact, her original thoughts on the film were, “What a piece of shit! Nobody is ever going to see this thing. What an awful thing this is.” [Source]
However, apparently as the years passed by she gradually embraced Ms. Voorhees, appreciating the love that horror fans had for her.
Rest in peace, Betsy. We send our condolences to friends and family.
Inspired by Nicholas Hogg’s 2015 novel Tokyo Nobody, the thriller A Sacrifice starring Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”) is on the way from Vertical, and the official trailer has arrived.

“A Sacrifice is an emotionally turbulent story that follows American social psychologist Ben Monroe who is investigating a local Berlin cult connected to disturbing events.
“While he immerses himself in his work, his rebellious teenage daughter, Mazzy, becomes embroiled with a mysterious local boy who introduces her to the city’s underground party scene. As their two worlds head toward a dangerous intersection, Ben will need to race against the clock in order to save his daughter.”
Sadie Sink stars alongside Eric Bana and Sylvia Hoeks.
A Sacrifice is produced by Ridley Scott.
