Ingrid was quite a lady. I met her at Chiller several times and she was always very gracious and lovely.

R.I.P Ingrid, you are sorely missed.

I was just watching "The Vampire Lovers" and "Countess Dracula" a few days ago. R.I.P. Ingrid!

I just got an autograph from her (via her website) a couple weeks ago.

In a perfect world, she'd rise from the grave sexier than ever.

Thank you for everything, Ms. Pitt . . . wherever you are.

I have some fond & frightening memories of the gorgeous Ms. Pitt. 
R.I.P. Ingrid

Very sad news.  Like Gillman, I received an autographed 8x10 from Ingrid a few months ago.  My condolences to Ingrid's family and friends.

RIP.

This just doesn't seem possible... seems like only yesterday that i saw her looking healthy and vibrant at Chiller. RIP Ingrid, and thank you for doing your part in making Hammer horror movies such a special experience for all of us.

Ingrid Pitt is another horror star I've always wanted to meet, but never had the chance.  I first became aware of her as a child watching THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD, and seeing pictures of her in Famous Monsters.  As an adult, I saw her in THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, COUNTESS DRACULA and one of my favorite films, THE WICKER MAN.  But my favorite of her roles is still HOUSE.  Something iconic about her costume, her look, her fangs, sitting up in that coffin at the end.  Not a big part, but one that made an impression.  I wish her heyday had lasted longer, so today we'd be able to enjoy more classic movies stamped with her unique screen presence.  It is sad she is gone.

Sad news. Wicker man is one of my all time favorite horror films.

[Spock]

Very sad news. I met her a few times at the Memorabillia shows in the UK and she was always very approachable. She will be missed.

Ingrid was a doll.  I met her several times from going to shows.  The first was at Chiller where she was pleasant.  She overcharged me for an autograph but that was okay.  The next time I was helping Caroline Munro at Monster Mania and Ingrid sat next to me.  She was a doll.  She apologized for acting silly because she was on a lot of pain medication having just been through an operation.  She told me she had died on the table and they brought her back.
    It was at that show that she announced the founding of a new "Hammer" company with her, Caroline, and Veronica Carlson.  They were looking for investors to fund movies.  I guess that never panned out.
R.I.P.

Everyone needs to hug their mothers and grandmothers extra tight when you see them next.
