This is a segment of the genre that I direly miss. I loved the Scream Queens and I guess some would argue that there are still a few out there but it's not the same. Back in the day when you seen Brinke Stevens face on a video cover you knew there was going to boobs and blood and lots of it.
The new documentary SCREAMING IN HIGH HEELS: RISE AND FALL OF THE SCREAM QUEEN ERA gets down and dirty with the ladies that were getting down and dirty.
Here's an excerpt from the films KICKSTARTER page that explains things real well:
A passion project for nearly a decade, this documentary gathers b-grade
horror film actresses Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead), Brinke
Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre) and Michelle Bauer (Hollywood
Chainsaw Hookers) to tell the story of how they all "accidentally"
became cult icons of the late 1980s. Follow the ladies and their fellow
directors and cast mates through the major direct-to-video boom which
had them filming upwards of ten films per year, fighting off men in
rubber monster suits, pubescent teenage boys and deadly showers. They
were flown all over the world, dined with President Reagan and built
profitable mini-empires from their fame by exploiting the industry which
exploited them. Then it all came crashing down.
It seems that the project is pretty much done. Director Jason Paul Collum just needs a little more change to wrap things up so he has posted up THIS Kickstarter page to try and get the last couple grand needed to bring this one home.
So, here's the trailer and once you've checked it out head on over to the project page and help out if you can.
