Breaking Glass Pictures will be unleashing horror documentary ‘Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era’ onto DVD from 28 August across the US. It’ll arrive unrated unlike its TV screening earlier this year and you’ll be able to hear from all three legendary scream queens Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer. Learn how the sexy trio of b-movie actresses got into the business of screaming for their lives in the DVD doc that also features the likes of Fred Olen Ray, David DeCoteau, Kenneth J. Hall, Jay Richardson, Richard Gabai and Ted Newsom. Check out the DVD artwork below.
“Three girls living in Los Angeles, CA, in the 1980s found cult fame when they “accidentally” transitioned from models to B-movie actresses, coinciding with the major direct-to-video horror film boom of the era. Known as “The Terrifying Trio”, Linnea Quigley “The Return of the Living Dead”, Brinke Stevens “The Slumber Party Massacre” and Michelle Bauer “The Tomb”, headlined upwards of ten films per year, fending off men in rubber monster suits, pubescent teenage boys, and deadly showers.
They joined together in campy cult films like “Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama” (1988) and “Nightmare of Sisters” (1987). They traveled all over the world, met President Reagan, and built mini-empires of trading cards, comic books, and model kits. Then it all came crashing down. This documentary remembers these actresses – and their most common collaborators – on how smart they were to play stupid.”
