Jason Paul Collum's film Screaming in High Heels- The Rise and Fall of the
Scream Queen Era is a tantalizing documentary of three legendary ladies who ruled the horror world with boobs, blood, and
tons of cheesy B movies! Weekends of mine would be dominated by staying up all night on Friday and Saturday nights
to watch these very bad, yet so good horror movies they all starred in.
You learn a lot about each individual and you get a
glimpse of their real selves behind all that B movie madness. Remember, many
people worshiped these ladies from afar, since there weren't many if any major
Horror Conventions during that time. I was fortunate enough to meet my favorite
of the three Linnea Quigley at Monster Mania one year, she was sweet and chatted
me up- she didn't act like a dive or rush you off. My favorite films with her in
it would have to be Night of the Demons, Return of the Living Dead and Savage
Streets with the pea soup spewer herself Linda Blair.
Brinke Stevens hails from San Diego California and was in school for the
study of dolphin communication before being booted for unwarranted research
involving how the Navy's use of them for undersea weapons research. Brinke did
receive her masters degree in marine biology from Scripps Institute of
Oceanography in La Jolla, California back in 1977 Brinke was accidentally
discovered and has over 100 movies under her belt including: The Slumber Party
Massacre, Nightmare Sisters, Roots of Evil, and Necromancy.
The blond cutie Linnea Quigley left Davenport Iowa and went on to become
one of the top Scream Queens of all time. Did you know before she got into
acting she played a mean guitar and was in rock videos for Motorhead, Revolting
Cocks, and The Ramones? Some of her film titles include: Creepozoids, Silent
Night, Deadly Night, and Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers with
Bauer.
Michelle Bauer was Penthouse Pet of the Month in July of 1981. Michelle falls into
the whole scream screen category a tad lower on the three tiered scream Queen
totem pole since she seems to mainly known for her soft/hard porn films more. Such
titles include Lust for Frankenstein, Tender flesh, Rope Burns, Heavy Petting
Detectives, Sexual Witchcraft, The Naked Monster, Café Flesh, and Naked
Detectives.
