You were one of the most dynamic actors in Hollywood, covering all genres at all times, but became a major fan favorite in horror, science fiction and fantasy.
Such examples of your splendid work are "Apt Pupil"; "The Boy Who Loved Trolls"; "The Butterfly Room"; "Capricorn One"; "The China Syndrome"; "Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster"; "Hercules in New York"; "Invaders from Mars '86"; "Jack and the Beanstalk '09"; "Mulholland Drive"; "Piranha '95"; "Poltergeist '82"; "Rivals '72"; "Time Walker"; "The Willies"; and above all, your comedic, frantic and oh-so-identifiable presence in "Return of the Living Dead" and its sequel.
You could mix and match emotions in ways that would make any actor envious. Though your work will continue to be enjoyed, Mr. Karen, you'll be deeply missed by your many fans, to whom you never failed to show great kindness and respect. May you find peace, joy and delight in whatever roles you may take beyond Heaven's Gates...
Let's not forget Mr. Karen's terrific Pathmark commercials. Talk about nostalgia!
