I remember
back in 1996, I rented the flick
'Pumpkinhead 2:
Bloodwings' but despised it
so much until rewatching it not
too long ago finding that it was
quite well done for what it was.
However, it was the first movie I
saw Linnea in, although it was
just a small part. But what
really drew my attention was
renting her in 'Return of
the Living Dead' on
Halloween night the year after.
She really stood out as a sleazy
punk named Trash. I started
renting her other horror flicks
afterwards that were made on a
lower budget like 'Creepozoids',
'Hollywood Chainsaw
Hookers', 'Graduation
Day', 'Jack-O',
''Sorority Babes in the
Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama',
'Silent Night Deadly
Night' and 'Night
of the Demons.' Although
I wasn't too wild over her other
horror movies (Except for 'Night
of the Demons' my
favourite Linnea horror flick)
they meant something to me. She
is a talented actress even if
she's in bad films that makes her
acting look bad and deserves to
be in better flicks. She is
starting to show her talent in
independent horror films today.
She has acted in lots of b-films
with other b-film scream queens
like with Brinke Stevens,
Michelle Bauer and Vancouver
actress Debbie Rochon. Linnea
totally rules the cheesy b-film
industry and is a top scream
queen for those types of films
too! Linnea Barbara
Quigley was born on May 27, 1958
in Davenport Iowa. Her mother
was a housewife and her father a
Chiropractor and Psychiatrist. She grew up as a
tomboy and grew up loving
animals. Eventually she moved to
California in the late 70's where
the business for movies were
really happening and still are.
She was encouraged
to model and act by her friends.
She eventually decided to take
acting, singing, guitar and
modelling lessons instructed by
John Ashley, Estelle Harman,
Susan French, Leo McClutchy and
the John Powers Modelling Club.
She led a modelling career as
well as singing and playing
guitar in an all girl punk rock
band known as the Skirts, plus
she acted in TV commercials and
auditioned for more movie roles.
She started out by having minor
roles in films eventually leading
into a soft core porn flick
titled 'Auditions'
which led to her role in another
soft core X-rated comedy-musical
titled 'Fairy Tales'
playing the role of 'Sleeping
Beauty' towards the end
of the film. She was then
typecast in other exploited
flicks because of those films.
She
won a couple of roles in the
horror flicks like 'Psycho
from Texas' and had her
first co-starring role in the
obscure gore flick 'Don't
Go Near the Park' an awful movie.
However, she had
another supporting role in the
slasher flick in 1981 titled 'Graduation
Day' by playing the
loose teenager Dolores and it
became a cult classic. The film
was in the same tradition as 'Halloween'
, 'Friday the 13th'
and 'Prom Night'
about a high school track
runner, named Laura, suddenly
dies from a heart attack after
finishing a 30-second 100-meter
race, a killer wearing a
sweatsuit and a fencing mask
beings killing off her friends on
the school track team one by one.
The suspects include the track
coach Michaels, Laura's sister
Anne who arrives in town for the
funeral, the creepy school
principal Mr. Guglione, and
Laura's strange boyfriend Kevin.
That film also starred b-horror
film and western legend the late
Christopher George. This film
gave her alot of exposure and led
to her fame as a b-movie scream
queen but she still had a bit of
a ways to go.
She
also had a couple of cameos in
two Cheech & Chong comedy
films, and was cast in a couple
of action flicks called 'Young
Warriors' (Starring
Ernest Borgnine, Richard
Roundtree and Lynda Day George)
and 'Savage Streets'
(Starring former scream queen
Linda Blair).
She
then returned to low-budget
horror flicks by first travelling
to Utah and having a special
appearance in the slasher flick
that tried to carry on the
tradition like 'Halloween'
and 'My Bloody Valentine'
did titled 'Silent Night,
Deadly Night' which she
played a sleazy teenager named
Denise whom was one of the
killers victims on Christmas Eve
which her scene was very
memorable. However, the film
sparked alot of controversy
during it's theatrical run and it
was picketed. Linnea had another
special appearance for a film she
did the same year she was doing 'Graduation
Day' and 'Psycho
from Texas' titled 'The
Black Room' but the
flick was shelved after it's
filming and went direct-to-video
the same year 'Silent
Night' was out in
theatre's back in 1984.
She
struck gold by having a good
supporting role named Trash in
the zombie flick 'Return
of the Living Dead'
which she starred with many known
faces like Clu Gulagher, James
Karen, Don Calfa, Thom Matthews
and Miguel Nunez Jr. She had to
perform nude most of the time in
her film and dancing in a
graveyard as well as being
attacked by zombies and having
her body painted when she turned
into a zombie. The film was
written and directed by Dan
O'Bannon whom was famous for
writing many sci-fi flicks like 'Alien'.
This was Linnea's most successful
film and it was made on a good
budget. Eventually she was
interviewed in magazines and talk
shows then was blossomed into a
top scream queen.
Linnea
was high in demand for low budget
horror flicks after her role as
Trash and many b-horror film
directors were looking for her
after the theatrical release of
this film. During the late 80's
she was busy acting in numerous
horror and non-horror films
although they were nowhere near
as successful.
Her
next horror flick was in 1987
titled 'Creepozoids'
as she played the role of Bianca
taking place after World War III
in 1999 while her and her troops
hide for shelter in a science lab
from acid rain but encounter a
beetle like creature that was
once human and it preys on them
as well as sprays it's poisonous
venom on some of them causing
them to have gruesome deaths.
Linnea gets killed towards the
end of the flick by having her
head chomped off. The film
received a quick theatrical
release in the fall and it was
written & directed by David
DeCoteau who used Linnea in
numerous of his other films that
usually went direct-to-video.
She
got more work in horror flicks
such as 'Sorority Babes
in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama',
'Hollywood Chainsaw
Hookers' and one of her
last lead roles that went to
theatre's 'Night of the
Demons' which she the
role of Suzanne, playing the
whiny bimbo who goes to a closed
down Mortuary called the Hull
House hosted by her gothic friend
Angela on Halloween night with a
group of friends for a Halloween
party. During the party, Suzanne
and Angela both get possessed by
an evil demonic spirit that they
both awakened while doing a chant
with their friends. They both end
up killing their friends and turn
them into zombielike demons as
well. The film had good effects
and Linnea married special
effects wizard named Steve
Johnson two years after the
film's theatrical release but
their marriage eventually
dissolved.
Since
the late 90's, Linnea starred in
many independent films and was
taken more seriously as an
actress which some of her indie
flicks also rode the film
festival circuit like in 'Fatal
Frames', 'Death
Mask', 'Kolobos',
'The Monster Man',
'Kannibal', 'Each
Time I Kill', 'Corpses
Are Forever' (For which
she won an award at a festival
for 'Best Supporting Actress'), 'Unaware'
and numerous upcoming flicks. She
has appeared in nearly 100 low
budget films and is a household
name for that type of genre!
Linnea
is also a member of the PETA
('People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals') as she
tries to find homes for them and
is against animal testing as well
as promoting animal rights. Also
she is a vegetarian.
Linnea
attends many horror conventions
signing autographs for fans
throughout the world and is one
of the most beloved b-film scream
queens. Today she resides in
Florida and reformed with her
rock band the Skirts.

Fairy
Tales 1979.
This was Linnea's first real
acting gig in a film. It was an
adult spoof comedy-musical based
on the character's of children's
stories like Snow White, Little
Bo Peep and Sleeping Beauty.
Linnea appears during the ending
of the flick topless as Sleeping
Beauty.
The story starts out as a Prince
(Don Sparks) looking for the lady
of his dreams to get him sexually
excited on his 21st Birthday
which is a painting on his wall
which happens to be Linnea's
character Sleeping Beauty.
This flick is very expolited and
was out in theatre's before the
70's were ending. The music was
very disco like.
This flick was one of the
reason's why Linnea was usually
typecast as a sexpot and was
extremely nervous and
uncomfortable when she found out
that she was going to be topless.
Stone
Cold Dead 1979.
Linnea has an uncredited role in
this film for some silly reason
as she has a couple lines and an
effective scene even if it was a
bit part. Her character name was
Melody Stevens as she role is a
hooker and is escorting a client
from her house as he is heading
home during the beginning of this
film. She then takes a shower and
a killer from outside shoots her
through her window and she dies.
This leads to another slew of
shootings as other hookers are
victims as the killer shoots them
in their window of a hotel or on
the streets.
Eventually the police try to get
involved in this case by going
undercover but even they are
being murdered.
A Sergeant named Sniper (Richard
Crenna) risks his life to get to
the bottom of the unsolved
mystery bty finding out who is
killing these prostitutes.
Linnea doesn't have alot of her
face shown in her scene as her
back is tuerned or when she is
entering her own bathroom it just
shows her body shot but
eventually her face is revealed
when she starts her shower.
This film was shot in Toronto,
Ontario and was made on a very
descent budget with lots of disco
music too. A very good murder
mystery and extremely
suspenseful.
Don't
Go Near the Park 1981???.
Supposedly Linnea's first
supporting role in a film. This
one was pretty bad and easily
forgettable. She plays an owner
of a bed and breakfast house to a
cult member named Gar (Played by
Crackers Phin) who who living
agelessly as a cannibal trying to
escape a tribal queen centuries
ago as the queen damned him and
another woman to an eternity of
old age when she discovers their
lurid exploits and in order to
stay young they must eat the guts
out of young people as they do
this for centuries till present
day.
He falls in love with Linnea's
character but only to plan to
impregnate her with a baby girl
named Bondi as he plans something
deadly for his child when the
child turns 16.
Eventually Quigley's character
gets jealous of her daughter
Bondi and during her 16th
Birthday when Bondi recevies a
magiocal necklace from her father
Quigley leaves her husband and
Bondi becomes a runaway.
Linnea was only in this movie for
about the first 25 minutes of it
but on the opening credits her
name is revealed as an
introduction to her career in
films plus she can be heard on
the commentary of the recent DVD
release.
There's also an outake of Linnea
being fully nude which she
probably requested as she refuses
to do full frontal nudity
afterwards.
Graduation
Day 1981. One of
Linnea's most memorable horror
flick's. She plays a loose
teenage girl at a highschool
named Dolores who seduces a music
teacher in order to get a good
grade as well as hanging out with
her boyfriend and smoking weed
etc. She is questioned about the
murders going on there too.
Eventually, the killer tracks
Delores down while a rock band is
playing at the highschool
gymnasium and is strangled to
death.
All the murders occured since a
highschool track runner dies from
a heart attack after finishing a
30-second 100-meter race and a
killer is wearing a fencing mask
and a sweatsuit. However, many
people there are suspects.
This was alot like a 'Prom
Night' type slasher but
slightly a little bit cheesier.
The flick also stars b-film
horror and spaghetti western
legend Christopher George along
with some other familiar faces
like E.J. Peaker, Michael Pataki,
Carmen Argenziano, Virgil Frye,
Bill Hulsey (of TV's Fame) and
TV's 'Wheel of Fortune'
hostess Vanna White.
The flick is in the same slasher
tradition like 'Halloween',
'Friday the 13th',
'My Bloody Valentine'
and of course 'Prom Night.'
Cheech
& Chong's Nice Dreams
1981. Linnea
only has a 2 minute cameo in this
comedy flick playing a blondie
that is introduced to Cheech
& Chong along with a bunch of
others.
She only has one line in it.
Cheech and Chong are two
comedians that make jokes about
smoking up and other adult
situations.
The story in this flick sets out
as Cheech and Chong house sit for
a marijuana grower and rip off
the crop.
Stalked by keystone-style cops,
Los Guys have a series of
encounters with L.A. area
characters even weirder than
themselves.
Cheech
& Chong's Still Smokin'
1983. Linnea is
uncredited in this one. She is
nude in her cameo.
One scene is shown when she is
walking towards a spa and another
she is with a bunch of other nude
girls along with Cheech &
Chong.
The plotline in this one is that
Cheech & Chong are invited to
a celebrity party/festival in
Amsterdam. When they get there,
however, it turns out that the
guy who invited them has taken
off with all the money, and the
rest of the hosts have a VERY
limited budget.
They are actually expecting Burt
Reynolds and Dolly Parton, so our
heroes gets to be Mr. Burt and
Mr. Dolly.
We follow them around Amsterdam,
at their hotel, (still) smokin'
joints and doing shows.
Young
Warriors
1983. Linnea has a
supporting role named Ginger in
this film who is the girlfriend
to one of the guys that just got
into the fraternity.
Well this story starts as a bunch
of highschool graduates in Malibu
High that got into the fraternity
and introduce to people Ginger
who is covered in nude sheets
with a blanket then they take the
sheets off and she runs off.
Next scene she is working at the
library there and her and her
boyfriend act obscene there while
hje asks her for a certain book.
Then a fraternity party happens
at night ansd she is seen briefly
hanging out while the others are
pledges and have to do some dares
in order to get in.
Suddenly during that very night ,
the head fraternity's younger
sister is brutally raped and
killed by a vicious gang so the
fun stops when the sorority
brothers try to track the gang
down with army weapons and never
speak to their girlfriends any
more.
Linnea's character Ginger goes
into their room and spots the
weapons in their closet.
Quite a cheesy plot but a good
film made on a descent budget.
Linnea wasn't one of the main
character's in this action-comedy
flick so her name isn't shown on
the opening credits.
There were many big names in the
film however like Ernest
Borgnine, Lynda Day George and
Richard Roundtree.
There were also family members
from well known actors that
weren't top names but still got
work like Dick Van Patten's son
Jimmy, June Lockhart's daughter
Anne and Chuck Norris' son Mike
co-starring in his first film.
The
Black Room 1984.
Linnea had appeared close to the
ending in this awful flick. She
plays a character named Milly who
is hired by one of the lead
actors Jason (Steven Knight) to
babysit his kids and to bring
them up to his work place later.
The place is a renting house in
the Hollywood Hills but the
employers are killing the people
and sucking the blood out of them
for thieir use to live.
Jason doesn't realise these
owners evil doings until he
catches them when Milly is caught
and half of her blood is sucked
out of her.
A gross flick that was shot the
same year 'Graduation Day'
was released but was shelved for
3 years and went direct-to-video.
Linnea looked great in her Farrah
Fawcett/Goldie Hawn hairstyle
along with her biker shorts and
cowboy boots.
She is not nude in this film
however and only has a couple of
good scenes.
Savage
Streets 1984.
Linnea has a good supporting role
in this one. She plays opposite
to the lead character which is
former scream queen Linda Blair
as her younger deaf mute sister
Heather. She hangs out with her
sister and her fun loving group
called the Satins.
Well the Satins decide to pull a
nasty trick on a vicious gang
called the Scars by driving away
with their car and then stuffing
garbage in it. This makes their
leader angry so they decide to go
to their school and rape Linnea's
character when she is alone
waiting for her sister after
school. She is put in a coma and
her sister seeks revenge on them.
A very similar plotline to
'Young Warriors' except
that Linnea had a bigger role in
it and her name was credited in
the opening along with the other
main characters.
Linnea claimed that Linda Blair's
role was originally going to be
played by Cherrie Currie from the
former girl punk rock band the
Runaways but was fired and she
that she and others were going to
be fired too.
Linnea was excited to be working
with Linda Blair as she was an
icon at the time and sometimes
helps her out with the PETA.
Linnea said that the rape scene
was tough for her as the people
who played the Scars ripped her
blouse off and it caused her
shoulder to get pretty torn up by
it.
She also talked the director out
of a couple of stuff for the rape
scene and agreed with her. She
found the director, Danny
Steinman, a great guy to work
with. He let people suggest
things etc.
She also liked the director of
photography Steve Posey.
Unfortunately, she said that the
film ran out of money and cheques
bounced and it took things a few
months to get things squared
away.
The Screen Actors Guild was
supposed to have given her $5,000
for waiting but that never
happened although everyone else
got theirs.
The film had an excellent
soundtrack by 80's pop artists
like you'd hear in 'Fast
Times at Ridgemont High'
or 'D.C. Cab' by
John Farnham, 3 Speed, Michael
Bradley and Real Life.
I was desperately looking for the
soundtrack album but finally
found the record of it on e-bay
for alot of money. I cherish the
record and consider it my
favourite soundtrack album. This
was also my favourite Linnea
film.
Silent
Night, Deadly Night 1984.
Linnea had a special
appearance in this one. She plays
a teenager named Denise who tries
to seduce her boyfriend in a recroom near a pool table in which they turn on a rock radio station to drown out Christmas carolers outside.
Then her sister is about to check up on them and she tries to prevent her from doing this telling her that Santa won't bring her presents unless she's asleep Then Denise
hears
a jingling sound from outside
thinking it's her cat wanting to
come in.
She is topless and opens the door
while so and lets her cat in.
Also a killer dressed in a Santa
suit comes barging in and picks
up Denise and impales her on two
antlers from a deers head that is
placed in her living room wall. Her death scene was most memorable in this slasher flick compared to any of the other one's in which she was well credited for and my favourite scene too. It was very disturbing like alot of the content used in this film that sparked controversy with parents wanting to ban this film from being released in theatre's after spotting the trailer on TV.
Of course this killer experiences
another killer dressed in a Santa
suit who killed his parents when
he was 5 and was sent to an
orphanage.
All through his life growing up
there he thought that Santa was
evil to kids who were naughty and
got a job in a warehouse dressed
as Santa but killed his employers
and was heading back to the
orphanage and doing some killings
along the way.
Linnea was one of the unfortunate
one's who was a victim to one of
his slayings along with a bully
afterwards.
This film tried to carry on the
holiday tradition like what 'Halloween'
and it was adored by many slasher
fans and to some people is a cult
classic, plus it gained two
sequels.
The wardrobe person for Linnea's
costume acted with her in a 1979
comedy titled 'Summer
Camp.'
Linnea admitted that it was
freezing cold when she was doing
most of her scenes while opening
the outside door and was topless
with just shorts on. She said she
hated doing that scene. She also
said the trainer was holding back
the cat when they were doing
takes for her calling the cat and
found it very cruel to the cat.
She had to hold her breath while
the make up people stuck the
antlers to her so they wouldn't
bounce which was tough. She was
also shaking cause she was so
cold. What wasn't easier was the
rig up there that she was held on
was very uncomfortable. She had
to straddle a metal pipe under
her shorts.
Her death scene was well
remembered in this flick. It
showed her scene again in the
first sequel as most of it was a
flashback story told by the
killers brother.
She also recalls an actress being
difficult so the director gave
her a diamond necklace but Linnea
was left with no reward like that
for being patient and
professional when she had to
tough out her special appearance
in this film.
Return
of the Living Dead 1985.
Yessss! This was the flick that
made Linnea a full time scream
queen and her biggest budget to
date. Not only that, she received
alot of publicity in magazines
and some talk shows.
It was a spoof on George A.
Romero's 'Living Dead' films of
zombies returning from the grave
due to an acid rain fall and are
hungry for human brains.
Linnea has a good supporting role
named Trash (She dyed her hair
pink/red and cut it short in the
film as well as shaved her eye
brows since that's what the
director wanted or she would've
been replaced) who is a sleazy
punk who decides to break into a
graveyard with her friends.
Her most memorable scene was when
she took off her clothes and
danced in the graveyard. When she
talked about the film she
remembered feeling uncomfortable
with having white body make-up
that was water resistant on her
when she became a zombie as she
was still nude.
She remembered alot of other
weird stuff like being buried in
mud. She also said she wasn't the
original choice for the film as
they had another actress to play
the role six months before she
was cast but the actress was
pregnant.
Also her character name was
originally going to be named
Leap. Her audition scene was the
biting and eating her alive one
by zombies.
Linnea said that out of all the
films, she loved this one the
best.
Many people didn't like
director/writer Dan O'Bannon but
Linnea claimed she enjoyed
working with him as she tries to
behave professionally with
everyone she works with.
She stood out the most in her supporting role and was quite an attention grabber as many of you will probably agree with me. She certainly does well by having a sleazy type of attitude in her role showing off alot of great energy into what she did. Plus really showed terrific energy standing on top of a gravestone while stripping it off and doing a great dance too. Her hairstyle and make up made her look very different than in any other film along with the rest of the cast which is a compliment proving that she can portray a real character.
Basically the story centers around two bumbling employees working at a morturary named Frank (Played by James Karen) and Freddy (Played by Thom Matthews) who try to find a way to kill a goofy yellow skinned zombie but cutting it up and then burning it in a crematory oven. But then it's ashes causes acid rain to fall in where Quigley's role Trash and her troublemaking teenage friends are partying at a graveyard where they broke into and have to find shelter in their vehicle till it let's up. This causes the dead bodies in the graveyard to awaken and are hungry for human brains and it's a moment of survival for everyone. Trash was the first victim and then gets resurrected into a zombie.
Both Frank and Freddy were badly caused by some toxic gas beforehand awakening another zombie named Tarman. The two become brain eating zombies as well, making the rest of the survivors unsafe too.
Linnea had the moves for everything with this one and this was noted to be her only supporting performance in a mainstream low budget flick.
Creepozoids
1987. Linnea was
taking a break from films but she
met exploited T&A cheesy film
director David DeCoteau and he
convinced her to do this film
which led more film work into his
future flicks.
She felt great since most actors
get lots of rejections and was
honoured that David wanted her
for his film.
The film was shot in a warehouse
for most of the scenes.
Linnea said that the people
involved with the project will
would always have a special place
for her in her heart and was
family to her.
Also she enjoyed working with her
co-star Ken Abraham alot and says
he has a nice sense of humour.
She didn't need to wear much
make-up which she said was nice
for her and enjoyed her costume
that she wore.
She commented that she was
shocked that actress Kim McKamy
who was in the film moved onto
pornography a year later as
during the time shooting this one
she refused to be nude.
Of course the movie was a
futuristic horror/sci-fi flick
that David tried to borrow from
'Alien' and old cheesy
monster films of a pack of people
trying to hide from shelter in a
science lab during an acid rain
fall after a nucklear war from
World War III.
They all encounter a giant beetle
like creature who kills and
sprays poisonous venom on them.
Although the film received a
quick theatrical release in the
fall of 1987 it did better as a
rental in video stores.
This was one of DeCoteau's most
successful flicks as most of his
other films were terribly
exploited with a thinner plot
which went direct-to-video.
Nightmare
Sisters 1987.
Another David DeCoteau flick but
this time it's a spoof on those
exploited scream queen exorcist
type flicks. Not at all a horror
just a plain dark comedy.
Linnea gets to star with her
scream queen friends Brinke
Stevens and Michelle Bauer in
this one. The film isn't terrific
but funny and a real party flick.
Linnea Quigley performs a song
from her band the Skirts in one
scene.
The film was about a group of
college nerds getting together as
they are being tormented by the
popular one's and none of them
can get a date so they have a
seance and the three scream
queens turn into beautiful
llusting women but however they
are sex starved vamps and kills
the people they try to seduce.
Will the male nerds be able to
stop them?
This flick was made for video as
the plot and budget were very low
with plenty of nudity.
If you look closely, a fraternity
nerd has a theatre poster of 'Creepozoids'
hung in his room.
The film was written in six days
and took three whole days to
make.
Sorority
Babes in the Slimeball
Bowl-O-Rama 1988.
By the same makers of 'Nightmare
Sisters' comes this
flick with Linnea and her scream
queen friends Brinke and Michelle
at it again.
But this time Linnea plays a
different type of role as a punk
named Spider. Linnea said that
this was her second flick with
DeCoteau so it was still in
post-production when 'Nightmare
Sisters' came out.
Yes this too was a spoof on
horror flicks but was also
categorised as a horror film.
The plot surrounds two sorority
pledges wanting to join the
sorority sisters but has to steal
a trophy in a mall at a bowling
alley. They are there with some
frat nerds and accidentally
release a demonic Imp while
stealing the trophy. The Imp
grants them wishes each only to
be fake and possesses the
sorority sisters to kill the
nerds and the pledges. Linnea is
there robbing the place but turns
out to be a hero in the end with
the head nerd Calvin (Andras
Jones).
Linnea says she loves playing a
tough girl in flicks so it was
fun for her. However, most of the
scenes were shot at night which
she didn't like cause she was a
day person.
Her make up was rushed and Linnea
felt that she looked like a
clown.
Also, the film company had to
wait for the bowlers to finish
bowling before they shot the
scenes in the bowling alley.
Some of the girls had problems
with their love life so it made
things a little difficult.
Robin Stille who was cast as the
head sorority sister Babs had a
drinking problem and was out n
out drunk and ended up hurting
Linnea in a fight scene as well
as getting hurt by another
actress in another fight scene
which Linnea got a black eye so
twice she was hurt which wasn't
fun. Both scenes were the last
night of filming.
Linnea also paid for her own room
in a hotel as she likes peace and
quiet.
9 years after the shooting of
this film Robin couldn't handle
her alcoholism and took her own
life which was a year before I
first spotted her in 'The
Slumber Party Massacre'
which also had a supporting role
by Brinke.
According to DeCoteau this film
cost $250,000 to make.
Hollywood
Chainsaw Hookers 1988.
This was a Fred Olen Ray
flick which was the only time
Linnea ever worked with him and
found it a great experience. She
couldn't tell if he was saying
something serious or not.
She was excited to find out that
she was going to be working with
Gunnar Hansen since she was a fan
of him as Leatherface in the 1974
cult classic 'Texas
Chainsaw Massacre'.
Well Linnea played a chainsaw
prostitute named Samantha who
runs away from the chainsaw cult
as they were hacking up their
clients with what else???
Chainsaws!
Gunnar Hansen plays the hookers
pimp of course known as the
Stranger.
Heather helps a detective named
Jack Chandler (Played by Fred
Olen Ray favourite, the cheezy
b-film scream king, Jay
Richardson) to track down the
hookers' pimp during a cult
ceremony.
Linnea found Gunnar super nice to
work with. In one scene of the
film Linnea had her body painted
with designs as the artists who
painted her body thought it would
take two or three hours but it
took eight (Like working a full
time shift for one day).
Linnea called up her then fiance
make up artist Steve Johnson to
do the rest of the designs on her
naked body. Then she had to do
the virgin dance with a chainsaw
which scared her cause she was
worried that she'd get hurt with
the chainsaw in action.
Some of the chainsaws had chains
and some didn't but she had two
large chainsaw in each hand and
was woozy from the smoke of the
chainsaw. After her scenes were
done around 1 am with all the
effects of paint etc. on her body
her car battery was dead when she
started it up to go home.
This flick also starred her
scream queen friend Michelle
Bauer who was also famous for
acting in Fred Olen Ray's films
like Jay was. She played a
chainsaw prostitute named
Mercedes and was famous for her
role in this flick which made her
one of the top exploited b-film
scream queens along with Linnea
and Brinke Stevens.
The story explained on here is
better than the movie trust me as
it's terrible and hokey plus was
made on a lower budget than 'TCM'
itself with bad dubbing.
If you're expecting this to be
like the 'TCM'
ion the city streets, think
again. Supposedly this film did
earn a limited theatrical release
but only in Los Angeles which is
a big city. Yet, the film was
admired by fans of Fred Olen
Ray's work in horror films but
not me!
I rented this flick along with 'Creepozoids'
but like 'Creepozoids'
a bit better.
A
Nightmare On Elm Street 4: The
Dream Master 1988.
Linnea only has a bit part in
this film. Her fiance Steve was
doing the make up effects on this
one so maybe the director asked
him to bring her into this film.
Well of course the story is about
Freddy Krueger a child murderer
who murder lots of kids on Elm
Street and then was klilled by
the kids' parents then is an evil
spirit who kills kids in their
dreams and then takes their
souls.
He's back for the fourth time and
someone tries to put a stop to
him with her boyfriend.
She reflects a mirror on Freddy
in her dream to put an end to him
and souls come out of Freddy
chest.
Linnea is one of them as it shows
a nude body of her trying to get
out of his chest. Linnea was
basically a featured extra in
this film and was credited mainly
because she was married to Steve.
Night
Of the Demons
1988. Linnea's fiance
Steve also did make up for this
one. This was the set where
Linnea first met Steve actually
as the other films were released
beforehand but this one took
longer to finish cause of the
special effects etc.
They didn't date for 5 months but
how they met was bizarre she
claimed as they needed to see her
breasts for a scene she puts make
up on them and sticks a lipstick
tube into her nipple breast
(Which was a famous scene for her
in the film) so Steve and his
crew had to use prosthetic make
up for that and other stuff to
put on her breasts.
Linnea has one of the main roles
named Suzanne a whiny party girl
who hangs out with her gothic
friend Angela (Mimi Kinkade) that
goes to this closed down Mortuary
with their friends called the
Hull House. They have a Halloween
party there hosted by Angela.
They find a mirror and start a
chant but the chant is broken as
one of their friends freak out
seeing a demon in the mirror. The
demon is set free and possesses
Linnea's character Suzanne. Then
Suzanne possesses Angela but
french kissing her.
The two of them go on a killing
spree turning their victims into
demonic zombies like them.
Linnea is great at being funny
with her one liners. When I saw
the box cover of this film 10
years ago it said "Angela is
having a party. Freddy and Jason
are too scared to come." I
was wondering if it was a part 4
to 'Sleepaway Camp'
but looked at the back of the box
and realised it was a different
story altogether.
During Halloween night in 1998 I
rented it for the first time
since I was getting into Linnea's
films and loved it.
Also, I spotted Jill Terashita
from 'SC3' as
Frannie in the flick.
The film kinda reminded me alot
of other popular horror flicks
like 'Hell Night'
and sequels on 'A
Nightmare On Elm Street'.
I found this one to be my
favourite Linnea Quigley horror
flick. Linnea also said she saw
this film at a drive-in and had a
hard time watching her scene when
she was bending down at a grocery
store with her big party dress on
while her fellow actress Mimi was
shoplifting.
Linnea also got to work with Hal
Havins from 'Sorority
Babes' again as he
played a similar type of
character.
After the film's theatrical
release it was distributed by
Cineplex Odeon Home Video which
is also a big theatre company
too.
Vice
Academy 1989.
Linnea got to play a Kookie
character named Didi in this 'Police
Acedemy' type spoof as
she was in Academy training by
going undercover to bust
prostitution and an illegal porn
ring in order to get into the
Academy.
Linnea worked with Rick Sloane
for the first time and was nice
to everyone on set. Rick does it
all, directs, writes and
produces. However I find his work
very stale. Still, he had a
professional and patient attitude
as he had rehearsals with his
actors and went to the wardrobe
department to make sure the
colours matched for each of the
actors' costumes.
Linnea said that 'Vice
Academy' was very long
hours and tiring. One of the
locations was by her house which
was the training area. She became
good friends with Jayne Hamill
who played the tough as nails
Academy instructor Miss
Devonshire who became a
successful TV writer and
comedian.
There was a bad incident however
when she was starring with a
former porn turned b-film actress
named Ginger Lynn Allen whom
Linnea said would remain nameless
and disliked her. Linnea said
that Ginger was showing up late,
hung over, nasty and demanding.
This created alot of tension on
set of the film.
Linnea and Ginger's characters
were enemies in the film so
Linnea could very much relate to
it.
Linnea got to work with Ken
Abraham from 'Creepozoids'
again which she enjoyed.
Linnea and Ginger reprised their
roles in the sequel which Linnea
said was alot easier to shoot and
were not long hours.
Linnea said one of the actors who
played a tough guy was
accidentally hit by an actress
and was on the ground in pain but
no one seemed to care too much.
The films were very low budget.
Close to Z-grade in fact with
some boring scenes.
However, this film could easily
be categorised as an independent
film.
I loved the opening songtrack to
the film which was heavy metal
music.
Dr.
Alien 1989. Linnea
has a supporting role in this
film with Ginger in her fourth
film directed by David DeCoteau.
They both play rocker chicks to a
nerd named Wesley played by Billy
Jacoby who has a hard time
getting a girl to go out with him
and a substitute teacher who is
an alien played by cult icon Judy
Landers that gives him a tracking
device on his head that makes
girls sexually aroused towards
him.
Linnea and Ginger are Wesley's
lustful images that go to each
event he's at. Linnea and Ginger
are both topless in one scene of
the film after Judy Landers'
character does an experiment with
him so that should please all of
her fans.
Also the film has a cameo by
Linnea's scream queen friend
Michelle Bauer as well as her
co-star in 'Vice Academy'
Karen Russell.
Although this was noted to be a
bad film and probably never made
it to theatre's I liked this film
the best out of all of DeCoteau's
flicks.
There's also a scene where there
is Jacoby and his film family
having breakfast and there's a
cereal box of 'Creepozoids'
plus some of the family's members
watching the movie on TV.
Plus Jacoby's younger brother
Bobby plays his younger brother
in the film as well.
Witchtrap
1989. Linnea worked with 'Night
of the Demons' horror
film director Kevin Tenney for
the second time as well as acting
with Hal Havins for the third
time.
Kevin even has an acting part in
this flick as Devon Lauder.
The story is about evil
supernatural forces in a house
controlled by a demonic warlock.
Linnea plays a beautiful reporter
named Ginger Kolowski.
In the middle of the film Ginger
takes her clothes off fully nude
to take a shower. The water stops
and the head of the shower stabs
Ginger's neck and kills her.
Some good effects like in most of
Tenney's films and more serious
than 'Night of the
Demons' but nowhere as
good.
Deadly
Embrace 1989.
This was a film that rumour had
it Linnea was not proud of. It
was like a cross between a soft
core porn film and a daytime
soap.
Linnea has a good supporting role
by playing a girlfriend of Ken
Abraham's character named
Michelle Arno.
The film was directed by Ellen
Cabot who is really David
DeCoteau under a different name.
David did produce the flick but
this is no 'Creepozoids'
in any way. David should be
ashamed for his participation in
this flick.
Ken plays a college student named
Chris Thompson who helps a lady
named Charlotte (Played by sex
pot Ty Randolph) out with her
house while her husband Stewart
(Played by b-film legend Jan
Michael Vincent) is busy at work
but wants to get rid of his wife
for good.
Well Chris and Charlotte fool
around with one another and then
Chris' girlfriend visits and
fornicates with him while staying
there.
Charlotte video tapes this as she
holds Michelle for ransom and
makes her watch the video tape of
Chris fooling around.
This made for video dud focuses
on Ken, Linnea and Ty's nudity
more than the plot itself which
was written by
writer/director/actor Richard
Gabai.
If you see Gabai's other flicks
it seems like that he's
fascinated with pornography and
weak plots which is not a
compliment. Yet, he is not a bad
actor.
Assault
of the Party Nerds 1989.
A sleazy crappy film produced,
written, directed and starring
Richard Gabai.
Linnea plays a sleazy popular
bimbo named Bambi along with her
friend Michelle Bauer who plays
Muffin.
They fool around with their stuck
up college boyfriends until they
catch them fooling around
together. Then they help out some
college nerds throw a wild party.
Linnea and Michelle get naked for
sure in this awful T&A
comedy.
Linnea's voice sounded like it
was overdubbed by another
actresses voice. But again this
film was badly dubbed along with
the acting, directing and the
storyline.
Gabai tried to clone 'Revenge
of the Nerds' but in a
terrible exploited and sleazy
way. This is no doubt Linnea's
worst film.
Believe it or not a sequel came
out and both Linnea and Michelle
reprised their roles and the same
with Gabai. Both of them
direct-to-video releases.
Murder
Weapon 1989.
While Linnea was doing 'Vice
Academy' she worked on
this sleazy comedy-horror flick
as well. Linnea played a psycho
sister named Dawn and Karen
Russell from 'Vice
Academy' played her
other psycho sister Amy. Their
shrink Dr. Randolph was played by
former TV star Lyle Waggoner who
only had a special appearance in
this film.
The story was of course about two
daughters of mobsters get out of
the sanitarium after having
killed a boyfriend in the shower,
supposedly cured and on the right
track. They hold a party and
invite all their old boyfriends,
making all of them think there is
still hope for a relationship.
Then the boyfriends start
disappearing one by one.
Linnea also co-produced it with
David DeCoteau as Linnea always
wanted to produce to do more than
act. She really wanted a
challenge so this was the film
she worked on.
Linnea got a house in Toluca Lake
with a great price. However,
Linnea said the lady who lived
there was crazy. She tried to
call and reconfirm stuff but she
always misunderstood. Linnea
asked her to heat up the pool so
Karen Russell's character can
dive in, swim and do her scenes
which Linnea paid her to do and
called her three times to remind
her to do so but she never did.
The pool was cold and there were
other uncomfortable things. David
DeCoteau had enough of this woman
and changed locations without
telling her and Linnea had to
deal with her again.
Also, there was an actress doing
a topless scene and everyone
waited outside until the scene
and Linnea went into the bedroom
and told the A.D. "Everyone
Out." There was even one man
had his own video camera ready.
David was always cracking up when
Linnea had to perform a serious
scene.
There was even a scene where
someone was watching a pay
channel on TV and David
DeCoteau's spoof 'Nightmare
Sisters' was showing and
the scene was when Linnea,
Michelle and Brinke's characters
were all taking a bath together.
The film was a terrible low grade
slasher flick that offered
terrible dialogue, bad acting,
terrible gore effects (There's a
scene where a hand is torn
through a guys neck and another
where someone's head is smashed
by a hammer that looks like glass
smashing) and plenty of skin.
The opening scene in the film
looks very similar to another
terrible slasher flick (No where
near as bad as this) titled 'The
Intruder'.
At least Linnea was giving this
film a shot. Another typical
awfully made direct-to-video
flick though.
Blood
Nasty 1989.
As if 'Murder Weapon'
wasn't bad enough. This year
seems to be a rotten career for
Linnea as she was in one bad
direct-to-video flick after
another. This film barely passes
as a horror flick in which I had
doubts reviewing it in my movie
section which almost seemed like
a plain black comedy and an awful
one too.
The story involves an incident
gone bad by a group of jewel
thieves killing an innocent man
named Roy Flowers (Played by Todd
McCammon) who is awakened from
the dead by a spirit of a killer
named Blade who possesses his
body and returns to the poor
family of Roy's whom got alot of
money from his life insurance and
are not sure if they want him
alive still and keep his
returning from their landlord
Barry Hefna (Played by former
50's hearthrob Troy Donahue whom
was accepting roles in awful made
for video flicks during this time
period since he wasn't being
successful in anything else).
But hopwever Blade has deadly
plans up his sleeve with this
family and Linnea comes into the
picture as his girlfriend Wanda
Dance who is a stripper and in
her first appearance she is
topless putting on one of her
outfits before doing a strip
tease for her gig and tries to
contact Blade through aa crystal
type ball which looked tacky on
how she was doing this.
She of course visits Blade
possessing Roy's body and gets
topless wearing a cowboy hat and
boots in his bedroom trying to
get kinky which seems to do most
of the talking for her
performance.
In the end she tries to help the
family out before she gets killed
but that's nothing to brag about
either.
Ther film was barely released
onto video and you would be lucky
to find it which it took me 4
days to download this piece of
junk. It apparently was more
known to be in stores in other
foreign areas.
Linnea
Quigley's Horror Workout 1990.
This was a real workout
video by Linnea along with some
comedy scenes with zombies and
beautiful women.
She improvised in it with her
actresses because she didn't get
a location permit.
For her workout film they found a
condo in Tohuegenga Canyon to
double as an abandoned sanitarium
so she went up at 5 in the
morning to build a graveyard and
then brought in thirteen zombies.
Linnea asked 'Movietime'
and 'Entertainment
Tonight' to visit the
set and about 2 in the afternoon
they arrived. When they were
about to shoot the promo a bunch
of fire trucks came up the road
right after them.
No one knew that they did fire
drills about once a month when
they found them and the fire
marshall kicked them out. Linnea
was scared that the shows were
going to use the footage of the
marshall busting them and
stalling for time while the crew
set up again. Linnea convinced
them to reshoot at her parents
place where they finished the
video.
The video was very weak video
made style but very entertaining
as it shows real workout
exercises as well as showing some
clips from her acting career.
Some of the cast who played the
zombies working out in this video
have worked with Linnea before.
These actors were Jeff Bowser who
played Zoomer in 'Virgin
High' and Kathi O'Brecht
who played Rhonda in 'Sorority
Babes in the Slimeball
Bowl-O-Rama'.
The
Guyver 1991.
Linnea only had a cameo in this
one but she was credited with
some other actors during the
opening credits.
This film stars our own beloved
Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill as Max
Reed, a young man discovers a
mechanical device that merges
with his own body, turning him
into a cyborg superhero. When
strange creatures start
appearing, trying to take the
device back, he begins to uncover
a secret plot to genetically
engineer terrifying monsters. One
of the monsters accidentally
lands on a set of a cheesy horror
monster film starring Linnea
Quigley so Linnea plays herself
in this flick. She lets out a
long and loud scream and is
ticked when she realises it's a
total screw up.
This flick is a sci-fi, action
and comedy in one and a very well
done one too. Unfortuantely the 'Guyver'
never made it to theatres but it
was based on the popular
superhero animated show.
Virgin
High 1991. By
the same makers as 'Assault
of the Party Nerds' but
nowhere near as bad but still
pretty bad nonetheless.
A girl gets in trouble with her
parents for allegedly fooling
around with her boyfriend, and
they send her to a catholic
girls' high school.
Linnea Quigley plays a sleazy and
stuck up girl named Kathleen as
her character is similar to
Ginger Lynn Allen's character in
'Vice Academy'
who is "in charge," and
makes demands on the other girls
because she has unofficial
connections with the faculty.
Kathleeen fornicates with the
main security guard to as well
who is also a scum bag.
Cast also features Burt Ward who
was famous for his role Robin in
the 60's cult TV series spoof 'Batman'.
There's also a scene where
there's a movie poster of 'Assault
of the Party Nerds'
hanging on a wall.
Innocent
Blood 1992. Linnea
has another cameo in this film
with some other b-film horror
celebrities like Tom Savini,
Forrest J. Ackerman, Dario
Argento, Sam Raimi and L9innea's
present husband Steve Johnson at
the time.
This is not a b-film and was a
box office smash in theatre's
which is a shame Linnea didn't
get a bigger role than what she
got.
The film is a horror spoof on
vampires of a young woman named
Marie, a female vampire with a
conscience, decides to restrict
her feeding requirements to the
violent Pittsburgh gangsters who
are at large in the city.
Marie's victims become vampires
themselves if she fails to
permanently immobilise them, so
when this happens, the gangsters
become a serious problem which
she has to fix.
There is a vampire in a hospital
room who burns to death due to
the ray of the sun shining on him
as his body falls apart and
Linnea plays a nurse who runs in
to see what the problem is and
the vampire's arm falls off then
she screams holding the arm and
runs off.
Beach
Babes from Beyond 1993.
Another bad exploited flick but
Linnea keeps her clothes on in
this one.
Directed under the name of Ellen
Cabot aka David DeCoteau.
He must've used this name under
his worst movies and my guess was
that he didn't want to be
associated with them after seeing
the results of them.
The story is a spoof on
outerspace flicks of three
beautiful alien women who lands
on earth cause they're low on
fuel from thie spaceship and
lands on a beach then they all
enter a bikini contest to win a
contest so they can help an
earthling pay for his beachhouse
being repaired as he is being
threatened with condemnation. If
this sounds lame it is.
Linnea plays an irritable agent
for the modellers named Sally but
her acting doesn't meet up to her
expectations when I saw her
perform in this. She however does
have a nice romantic scene
towards the end of the film.
The film also features relatives
of big time stars like Joe
Estevez, Don Swayze, Joey
Travolta and Jaquollyne Stallone.
One of the actresses who plays
two of the three alien women is
porn star Sarah Bellomo and
Playboy model Tamara Landry.
Pumpkinhead
II: Bloodwings 1994.
This was the first film I spotted
Linnea in when I rented it after
Halloween in 1996. I didn't
remember the film too well only
that I hated it with a passion
but then I re-watched it after
re-watching the first film in
which I enjoyed it alot better
the second time.
Linnea only had a cameo type of
special appearance in this one
along with other b-film horror
actors like Kane Hodder and R.A.
Mihailoff.
The story centered around a
retarded boy that was murdered by
some bullies and then two decades
later some teenagers resurrect a
demon from the boy's grave and
the boy turns into Pumpkinhead.
Then he goes on a killing spree.
Linnea plays a sleazy type of
character exposing her breasts in
her first appearnace iof the film
in a shabby old warehouse with a
burly man played by R.A.
Mihailoff and then later on she
puts on her robe to get something
out of her car while Pumpkinhead
snaps this man in half and throws
him out side and we do get a good
screaming and wdie eyed
performance by Linnea in which
she's famous for apart from her
nudity and sex scene's in low
budget horrors like this one.
Linnea has another scene taking
place in the morning at the
warehouse with her spooked out of
her mind and the leads played by
Andrew Robinson and Gloria Hendry
trying to calm her down. Linnea
seemed to know her part quite
well even if her scene's
alltogether was under 5 minutes
long.
The film also co-stars Lilyan
Chauvin as a witch whom also
acted with Quigley in 'Silent
Night Deadly Night' as
Mother Superior.
Jack-O
1995. This
film looked so interesting when I
saw the cover of the box but when
I watched it I was disappointed
as it was below average and very
Z-grade with bad acting.
Linnea's first appearance is nude
in a shower. She plays a
babysitter named Carolyn Miller
on Halloween night who protects a
demonic killer who's name is Mr.
Jack the Pumpkin Man who was
originally a wizard centuries ago
was put to death.
The wizard happens to be an
ancestor of the child Carolyn is
babysitting named Sean.
An ok film to watch for the
laughs as it's hokey horror but
that's all it is.
Almost looks like a terrible
spoof on 'Pumpkinhead'.
Features many special appearances
with actors that Linnea has
worked with in the past like
Brinke Stevens and Dawn
Wildsmith.
There was also appearances by
horror icons John Carradine and
Cameron Mitchell before their
deaths.
The ending credits were cool as
it showed the scenes of the
actors who starred in it just
like watching the opening of a TV
show when it says starring so and
so with the person.
Burial
of the Rats 1995.
A made for cable flick that took
place in 19th Century France, a
young Bram Stoker is captured by
a man-hating, all-female cult of
thong bikini wearers.
Aided by flesh-eating rats, the
warrior women raid the lairs of
evil men and punish them.
Our hero must decide between his
wish to escape the dangerous cult
and his love for one of its
members.
Linnea just had a supporting
riole as one of the Rat Women.
Her lines were usually chants
with the rest of the women in it.
It shows scenes of her sword
fighting and other eventslike
that. The show kind of reminded
me a horror version of a Greek
tragedy.
Fatal
Frames 1996.
I mark this one to be Linnea's
best performance and should've
won a best supporting actress
award for her role in it. Linnea
travelled to Italy to act in it
as she appears halfway through
the film as she tries to help out
a lead character who's a music
video director from New York
named Alex Ritt (Played by Rick
Gianasi) that has travelled to
Italy to make a music video there
but a bunch of slaughterings have
occurred with the people who are
working with him to find out the
truth behind a group of
slaughterings as well as the
victims haunting him.
She has a few good scenes and
then gets killed or so we may
think but there's a surprise
ending for Alex in the end. This
was not a small role by any means
as her fans will be happy and
will really enjoy her performance
in it.
Donald Pleasance also has a
supporting role in this film as
it was his last one before he
passed away which he did in the
middle of the shoot. There was a
one liner joke of his character
Loomis in 'Halloween'.
This Italian horror flick was
apparently a success at film
festivals nationwide which is not
surprising.
Linnea's ex-husband Steve also
did the effects for this one.
Boogie
Boy 1997.
Linnea was seen brefly in this
film of a man who has just been
released from prison vows to
start a new life, but is put to
the test when an old cellmate
appears.
Cast features former porn queen
Traci Lords who moved onto
mainstream acting as she plays a
b-film star named Shonda and is
showing some people her cheesy
horror flick she was in which
shows her and Linnea Quigley who
plays Gretchen on the TV screen
with another actress too.
Cast also features rock icon Joan
Jett who was famous for her hit
song "I Love Rock N'
Roll." This film was in good
taste and had a strong cast.
Play
it to the Bone 1999. I
remember seeing an unofficial
site of Linnea online and
announced that she will play an
overdosed hooker in this upcoming
film. Well when it came to
theatre's during the new
millenium, I went to see it since
I wanted to see Linnea on the big
screen for the first time. I had
a feeling that it was a bit part
cause of the role she played in
it and I was right. It showed her
naked with a guy and another
woman nude all coked out and
laying there stiff during the
first bit of the film. She was
uncredited in the film
(Basiacally a featured extra in
it).
I didn't like the film as it
wasn't my style. However there's
a good supporting role by Jack
Carter who starred with her in
the awful soft core porn dud 'Deadly
Embrace' This is what
the story is all about, Two aging
fighters in LA, friends, (Played
by Antonio Banderas and Woody
Harrelson) get a call from a
Vegas promoter because his
undercard fighters for a Mike
Tyson bout that night are
suddenly unavailable. He wants
them to box each other. They
agree as long as the winner gets
a shot at the middleweight title.
They enlist Gloria, Cesar's
current and Vinnie's ex
girlfriend, to drive them to
Vegas.
On the trip, we see flashbacks to
their previous title shots, their
competitive friendship, and
Gloria's motivational wiles. (She
has her own entrepreneurial
dreams.) The fight itself is
historic: ten rounds of savagery
and courage.
Who will win, who'll get the
title shot, who gets Gloria, and
where will she find venture
capital?
Kannibal
2001. Linnea
travels to the UK to perform in
this film which she has one of
the lead roles. In this film she
plays a tough and sleazy
bi-sexual mob boss from Russia
named Georgina Thereshkova.
She seems like an American
actress though trying to put on
an accent but still her
performance is very solid all the
way through.
Her character is the target for
inspectors who are trying to
uncover a maniac who's creating a
bunch of cannibalistic
slaughterings to get even with
the law for killing his wife and
unborn child.
Each time Georgina is molesting
someone they end up dead later
(Yes, Linnea shows some skin).
She is then taken in for
questioning along with these
grizzly murders.
The film has a good solid cast
but at times the story sinks in
some scenes and it gets tiring
but it does pick up at other
times too. However, the corpses
look totally fake as you can tell
that they are dummies.
Zombiegeddon.
2003 A student film by
Chris Watson and not a great one
with lots of bad acting and
directing and made on a camcorder
budget but has lots of bloody
gore effects. The film was shown
in a few underground venues
before being released onto DVD by
Troma Team a few years later. It
can be fun to watch if you're in
the mood for it but if not you
need to avoid it. At first you
wonder if this is a comedy-horror
like 'Shaun of the Dead'
but instead it's just a plain
zany comedy trying to use 'South
Park' humor in a bad way
but using horror elements like
the gore and flesh eating
zombies.
It all starts out when a lady
named Laura Reynolds (Brinke
Stevens) goes to a radio station
to talk about Lucifer, otherwise
Lord Zombie (William Smith)
wanting to take over the world
with zombies while two redneck
cops who stir trouble for others
are encountering this madness and
tries to help the matters out.
Linnea Quigley only has a cameo
in the film as a school principal
named Russo in which she appears
after the opening credits and has
a dialogue scene with child actor
Kai Wandry as a younger character
to the lead actor of the film
named Jeff in which she lectures
him in her school office aboput
telling tall tales of zzombies
taking over the world and needing
help. She only has less than 2
minutes with her eppaeance in all
of this and her performance seems
a bit wooden and unconvincing as
a propaincial and wears goofy
looking glasses too which doesn't
help matters at all.
There are a few exceptions in the
film too like Brinke, Robert
Z'Dar, Jeff Dylan Graham and a
cameo by Edwin Neal.
Corpses
Are Forever 2003.
Ah yesss! This was one of
Linnea's best performances! I
liked her best in 'Return
of the Living Dead' but
this film was her second best
performance I found. She has a
good supporting role playing a
dead person who appears as a
spirit to Jose Prendes' character
Malcolm Grant (Who also produced,
wrote and directed the flick).
Linnea's character's name is
Ellie Kroeger as she has
encountered him when she was also
alive during black & white
flashback scenes. Linnea is both
witty and serious throughout the
film. Jose is a big fan of George
A. Romero's 'Living Dead' flicks
as well as James Bond films too.
So he combined both of them into
this film. He had a very limited
budget on this one as the outdoor
sets weren't closed so you could
see traffic driving by when there
were zombies taking over the
world as well the audio wasn't
terrific which turned some
viewers who saw this away. But it
was a great story and well acted.
Most of the actors had to work
for free but Jose was very
fortunate to have some familiar
faces like Linnea as well as
others like Richard Lynch,
Linnea's scream queen friend
Brinke Stevens, Vancouver, scream
queen Debbie Rochon, Don Calfa,
Conrad Brooks and Felissa Rose.
This film showed their true
talents as some of them were in
really bad movies and it was hard
to show their true talents. This
is what the plot is all about, a young Government
secret agent named Malcolm Grant
(Jose Prendes) awakens with
amnesia in a post-apocalyptic
world in permanent darkness and
overrun by the living dead and
it's also dark all through the
hours as the gates of hell have
blown open. To find answers to
find answers to his hidden in his
concious he teams up with an army
led by a man named General Morton
(Richard Lynch) and to stop the
zombies and finding the source to
do so. However, Malcolm realises
that Morton is the devil
controlling the zombies and his
wife Marguerite (Debbie Rochon)
is also working with Morton and
is trying to kill Malcolm.
Malcolm has a little help with a
spirit corpse named Elli Kroger
(Linnea Quigley) whom he has
encountered a long time ago when
she was alive and helps him
survive being eaten alive by the
zombies.
Sexbomb
2003. This
film was categorised as a
comedy/horror but really it's
just a plain dark comedy and a
bad one too. The film was done in
1989 but was shelved away and
released onto DVD in 2003.
The character Linnea Quigley
plays is a sexpot scream queen
actress working in trashy horror
flicks in which her character is
dedicated to her career in
b-horror flicks abnd has the lead
supporting role in the film as a
nice girl with an outgoing
attitude named Phoebe Love who
appears tiopless in her first
scene in which she is even in the
beginning of the film as someone
on set performing in a horror
flick against a wielding maniac
screaming for her life which
looked phony but again it was set
out to be that way.
Basically the story centers
around a dweeby film writer named
Lou Lurrod (Played by Stuart
Benton) who gets fired by his
producer named King Faraday
(Played by Robert Quarry) but
King's lustful wife Candy (Played
by Delia Sheppard in her first
leading role) who wants her
husband dead and fools around
with Lou and trying to manipulate
on helping her kill him even if
he's hesitant on doing so.
Linnea comes in during alot of
scene's while working on set or
even hanging out with the
character Lou by flirting with
him and acting very charming too
in which she does a good job in
her role.
Most of the acting however is
quite bad as well as the writing
which is amateurish along with
alot of nudity and lustful
moments mainly involving Delia
Sheppard who always seems to take
off her top in any movie she
acted in which does more the
talking for her since I've always
found her to be a terrible
actress.
The flick looks like that it was
made on a similar budget as 'Vice
Academy' which offers
similar tongue in cheek as well
as other similarities in another
low budget comedy called 'The
Gumshoe Kid', in which
both films came out during the
same year as this one was
supposed to have but those one's
were more worth watching than
this one which is why I can
understand why it was shelved.
Even if this film was a triibute
to Linnea herself there's better
films out there to watch with her
in it.
Yet she comments that it was a
cute film and the cast and crew
were really nice people. Plus her
manager at the time Anthony Mora
was the producer of the flick. To
top it off Anthony had her on the
front of Premiere Magazine and
tons of shows too. She noted also
that she screamed on every TV
show and the people involved are
special people whom, she
treasures very much.
Night of the Demons 2009. This one was a remake to the 1988 film in which Linnea had a good supporting role in as she has a cameo in this one. She wears the same outfit too like in the original as a joke and tribute to the first. She is in it for less than a minute for the first bit when kids go trick or treating in her rowdy nieghborhood and she answers the door and then bends down to get some candy like she did in the beginning of her scene in the original at a corner store to grab the employees attention while her friend Angela was shoplifting. She seemed to show some nice spunk in her brief role and definetely knew on how to pay a tribute to this remake.
The story was alot different than in the original which seems to be necessary since there's no point in watching the same old thing over again but yet it doesn't have the same effective chemistry like in the original either. It looked like one of thoe typical unorginal horror films we see today showing nothing too spectacular and not enough cheesy good entertainment like back in the 80's when these kinds of flicks were exciting to watch.
The film earned a limited theatrical release in the UK during close to summer's end in 2009 and then coming to DVD two weeks before Halloween in 2010 in North America. Plus it had a familiar cast involved too.
Spring Break Massacre 2009. A flick done by Michael Hoffman who brought you the trashy no budgeted horror anthologies like 'Scary Tales' along with it's sequel. He tries to carry on the T&A slasher tradition like 'Slumber Party Massacre' with this one but that was by far more entertaining than this piece of shit. None of it was believeable. Linnea comes into the film the first half of it as she plays a deputy at a police station in which she tries to be humoress with her sarcasm in the flick but this falls flat big time. She acts opposite of Reggie Bannister (Yes Ice cream man from the 'Phantasm' films) who plays the head sheriff as they have corny conversations which looked unconvincing along with certain aggressive dialogues that fell flat too.
She gets killed off by the killer as her screaming was so wooden and low on energy in which she has done far better in her lung power in past horror films. I can see why she hasn't done much since the 80's and 90's when she was in better trashy low budget films. If she continues to perform like this she's in trouble.
Basically the story is about a bunch of sorority students deciding to throw a spring break slumber party at their resort by a lake owned by one of the students named Heahter Kilbourne (Played by Sarah Minnic) and her father Mr. Kilbourne (Played by John Schumski) but a convicted killer named Stanley Peterson (Played by Curtis Taylor) has escaped from prison and is possibly killing these sorority co-ed's. The story sounds more fun than the film itself since it's very amateurish.
Linnea's character with Reggie's tries to find the missing pieces of this killer but that's nothing too exciting either.
There's alot of skin in the film but Linnea keeps her top on. A direct-to-DVD dud that was barely released.
