 O'Connell's place as a scream queen legend was guaranteed with "Galaxy of Terror" due to the unique, bizarre, and exploitative scene in which her character is killed.Trapped on an alien world, her character and fellow shipmates find themselves in a giant pyramid built by an ancient culture who used it as a mental playground/testing area for their children.The human crew unwittingly confront the pyramid, which creates monsters from the fears in their own minds, but the monsters come with more adult, psychological fears attached to them as well.
