Born in Toronto in 1924, Marian Waldman made a significant impact in the realm of cult cinema with her unforgettable performances. She is best known for her role as the boozy housemother Mrs. MacHenry in Black Christmas (1974), a film that has become a staple of the horror genre. Waldman also appears in Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile (1974), where her unique presence adds depth to the film's unsettling narrative. Her work in Phobia (1980) further showcases her versatility within the realms of exploitation and horror.
Phobia
A psychiatrist treats his patients - sufferers from agoraphobia, claustrophobia, acrophobia, a fear of snakes, and a fear of man - with radical therapy in which they confront their fears by watching them on a large screen. The result is that each patient is driven to commit violent acts, and each dies by what he most fears.
