Philadelphia, PA - Breaking Glass Pictures is proud to announce the August 28
DVD Release of "Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the
Scream Queen Era" (SRP $19.99). Edited for its TV debut earlier this
year, the unrated DVD of "Screaming in High Heels" chronicles the
careers of the original girls of terror as they show that cannibalism,
demonic possession, flesh eating, and even chainsaw hookering is all in a
days work.
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 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.
Featuring iconic directors
of the time including David DeCoteau (Creepozoids), Richard Gabai (Nightmare Sisters), Fred Olen Ray (The Tomb), "Screaming in High
Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era"
takes viewers through the prime of the "Trio" as they rule the screen
with their sex appeal and vocal cords, and ultimately, into their very
real demise from the genre that made them blood covered stars.
The unrated DVD release will come with chilling extras to die for, including: bonus interview footage with Linnea, Brinke, and Michelle; and footage from the Flashback Weekend of Horror Q&A session.
