Best known for her roles in ’80s classics like The Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons, and Silent Night, Deadly Night, actress Linnea Quigley has over 170 screen acting credits to her name – and sadly, some of the movies she has worked on have slipped through the cracks over the decades. Last year, Visual Vengeance gave the Quigley film Heartland of Darkness – which was shot in 1989, then got “lost in obscurity and distribution false starts” for over thirty years – a Blu-ray release. Now they’re set to do the same for another lost Quigley project, Scream Queen. They’re bringing this one to Blu-ray on November 28th, and copies can be pre-ordered at THIS LINK.
As Visual Vengeance explains, “This super obscurity was shot in 1998 by indie horror stalwart Brad Sykes, and finally finished in 2002. Considered a ‘lost’ Linnea Quigley movie, Scream Queen is not only a solid 1990s Shot-on-Video slasher that borrows from the Italian Giallo sub-genre, but also takes swift jabs at the US independent horror movie scene of the time.“
The film has the following synopsis: Horror star Malicia Tombs (Linnea Quigley) mysteriously dies after leaving the set of her latest, now unfinished, low budget Shot-on-video shocker. Soon, an unseen masked killer is chopping and hacking his/ her way through the cast and crew as punishment for Tomb’s death – leaving a bloody trail of revenge.
