Barbara Shelley has passed away, at the age of 88, as a result of covid related complications. May she rest in peace.

I remember her best from various Hammer films. To me, her role as Helen in Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1966) was very memorable; I loved it, and recommend the film.

Thanks to Svengoolie, I’ve seen her in The Shadow of the Cat (1961), and Village of the Damned (1960). I loved her in The Gorgon (1964) (which was also on Svengoolie last year, I think).

In 2010, she was interviewed by Mark Gatiss for his series A History of Horror; having seen that at the time, I recommend everything of that. I need to watch Rasputin: The Mad Monk (1966), Ghost Story (1974), and the miniseries The Dark Angel (aka Uncle Silas) (1989).

For Doctor Who fans, she was Sorasta, in 1984’s Planet of Fire.
