In Memoriam: Betsy Palmer

So, my 300th post is a sad one. Recently, Betsy Palmer has passed. For those asking who, Horror hounds may remember her as one Pamela Vorhees, Jason's mother. She was the one who seeked revenge for what the camp counselors did to her little boy and was the true killer in the original movie, something that gets lost in the sequals as the focus soley on Jason getting his revenge on the campers of Camp Crystal Lake.....not that there was anything wrong with that. It is probably my favorite franchise and her preformance was masterful, grabbing and magical. I mean, they built the whole franchise from that performance. She has done other movies and her performances was great in those but, to me and so many others, she will always be Pamela Vorhees from Friday the 13th a classic forever remembered for her performance. She will be missed greatly.
