October was a busy month! Between two awesome events, two The Year Of KISS posts, some excellent films (old and new), a cool new series, and a BUNCH of action figure acquisitions, a lot of things had to take a backseat to the Reign of the Scream Queens. Well, it’s November now and I’ll beContinue reading “A Month Of Recovery”

Reign of the Scream Queens: Jamie Lee Curtis
Scream Queen Legend And The Final Girl! Could it be anybody else? Would you expect anybody else? Of course the Final Girl and Scream Queen of all Scream Queens would be Jamie Lee Curtis!

Curtis has appeared in multiple successful franchises, is the sole reason that the Halloween franchiseContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Jamie Lee Curtis”
Reign of the Scream Queens: Barbara Crampton
Scream Queen Icon Compared to other Scream Queens on this list, many folks unfamiliar with the work of Barbara Crampton might write her off as a horror starlet. When you dig deeper into her seventy-three credits in film and television, you’ll quickly realize that Crampton is not only an iconic Scream Queen, she’s also anContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Barbara Crampton”
Reign of the Scream Queens: Tiffany Shepis
Scream Queen Icon The modern Scream Queen isn’t normally an actress who actively seeks out B-movies. Many of the today’s Scream Queens are actresses who work in all sorts of film genres and many of them seek out and/or have been nominated for or won major acting awards. Chloe Grace Moretz, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, andContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Tiffany Shepis”
Reign of the Scream Queens: Brinke Stevens
Scream Queen Legend Of all of the wonderful Scream Queens on this list, none of them come close to being the ideal Scream Queen as does Brinke Stevens. Stevens has over 230 film credits to her name on IMDb and has been appearing in movies seemingly nonstop since 1981. She has one role credit priorContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Brinke Stevens”
The Year Of KISS: Revenge (1992)
“I’ve gotta body built for sin and an appetite for passion!” With the 1980’s behind them, KISS strolled into the new decade with their name still in the press but at a level that was nowhere near their success in the 1970’s. The band both lost and gained fans throughout the “no makeup” era thatContinue reading “The Year Of KISS: Revenge (1992)”
Reign of the Scream Queens: Veronica Carlson
Scream Queen Icon Hammer Productions kept horror films above water after Universal turned away from the genre in the 1950’s. Hammer started producing films with their own versions of Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, the Mummy, the Wolf Man, and more, winning over tons of fans for themselves and breathing new life into Universal’s early classics fromContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Veronica Carlson”
Reign of the Scream Queens: Shauna Macdonald
Scream Queen Impact I have to admit that when I was researching potential Scream Queens, Shauna Macdonald popped into my head for one film and one film alone: The Descent (2005). That film alone makes her worthy to be on this list as far as I’m concerned, but as soon as I looked at herContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Shauna Macdonald”
Reign of the Scream Queens: Gloria Holden
Scream Queen Impact Much like Ingrid Pitt, today’s Scream Queen, Gloria Holden, made her audiences scream more than she ever did in a film. Holden has forty-one film credits to her name, but only one of them would ever be considered a horror film. That film, Dracula’s Daughter (1936), was the first sequel to theContinue reading “Reign of the Scream Queens: Gloria Holden”
