Origin[]
Bitten by a zombie before the Coopers found refuge in the house, Karen later died and, after being revived as a zombie herself, began feasting on her father's arm only to be interrupted by her mother who was then killed by Karen with a trowel.
Karen then wandered off, leaving her ultimate fate unrevealed.
Notes[]
- Night of the Living Dead entered the public domain because the original theatrical distributor, the Walter Reade Organization, neglected to place a copyright indication on the prints. In 1968, United States copyright law required a proper notice for a work to maintain a copyright. Image Ten displayed such a notice on the title frames of the film beneath the original title, Night of the Flesh Eaters. The distributor removed the statement when it changed the title.
