Description
The term "Scream Queen," while considered by some horror fans as a term of endearment, is considered by others to be demeaning to the female gender. Often times, women in the independent horror film industry are exploited as well as typecast in roles that will cement their reputation in low budget horror - and at the same time stereotype them in a genre notorious for the typical and predictable clichés; graphic, over the top violence, rape, sex, and nudity. What does the future hold for women in horror? That question - and more - are answered by the women themselves, with in-depth interviews including:A Giant Monster Tale star Judy CerdaScream Queen legends Debbie Rochon and Brinke Stevens"Miss Vampy," actress Brooke LewisThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre star Teri McMinThe late, great Hammer Films scream siren Ingrid PittAnd many more.
