in memoriam
During my stewardship of SciFiHistory.Net, I've tried to do my best to celebrate even the smallest contributions made to the worlds of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror if for no other reason than the fact that I personally believe fandom is one of the best places to be. Each of us has a cause to celebrate, and that should always be used to bring us together instead of pushing us further and further apart. Granted, this doesn't always happen, but at the very least I feel we should celebrate the folks who made impressions on us while they were around to see it.
While Jennifer Runyon wasn't exactly the kind of talent considered a trailblazer, she still manages to squeeze in work here and there that should be a cause for celebration.
In 1984, she graced the silver screen with one of the funniest bits in all of the Ghostbusters saga, playing a fetching study participant whose electricity caught the eye of one Dr. Peter Venkman. And ... electric it was, indeed!
In 1985, she enjoyed a recurring role aboard the television miniseries event that was Space, an Emmy-winning project from Paramount Television.
In 1989, she visited the wonderful world of NBC's Quantum Leap for a pair of episodes.
In 1993, the sometimes twisted universe of Roger Corman knocked on her door, and she enjoyed a bit of screen time aboard Carnosaur.
In 2015, she returned to acting with a role in Silent Night, Bloody Night 2: Revival for 42nd Street Films. She followed that up -- in 2017 -- with another descent into madness that was Bloodsucka Jones Vs. The Creeping Death for The Nitwit Consortium.
Lastly, in 2025, she received another small role in the Horror titled Spectral Squad: The Haunting Of Sophie Lawson for IDS Entertainment.
Our warmest prayers are extended to the family, friends, and fans of Jennifer Runyon.
May she rest in peace ...
