I don't mean to steal iHaunt's thunder here... I know he tends to be our go-to guy for obituaries, but I was sad to hear today that Zelda Rubinstein, of Poltergeist and Scariest Places on Earth fame, passed away after an extended illness. She had a very unique voice that was made for narration of spooky shows, and she was only 76. Here's her link at IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0748289/

If you haven't ever seen Poltergeist, I highly recommend it. It feels very eighties-ish, but it holds up pretty well against most of the modern horror schlock Hollywood churns out.

By the way, Zelda is the 4 foot 3 inch actress best known for her role as psychic Tangina Barrons in the "Poltergeist" films, has passed away at the age of 76. With her unique voice and appearance, she became instantly recognizable to a whole generation of horror fans. Just a few years ago, she played a doomed librarian in the excellent "Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon".
