Misty Mundae

Erin Brown (born October 16, 1979 in Illinois, USA) is an actress, model, and film director. Her "trademark" appearance is her pronounced "naturalness" or lack of affectation, both in acting style and appearance. Soft porn favourite of mine and she has done quite a lot of ‘em…

Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira

If you are blogging around you probably seen her in quite a few posts at Vera Roberts, click here for those posts.

Cassandra Peterson, Elvira’s alter ego, was born in Manhattan, Kansas, and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She remembers always being a fan of Ann-Margret. Since Cassandra saw her in Love in Las Vegas (1964), she wanted to be a dancer. Just days after graduating from high school, Cassandra traveled to Las Vegas where, at the age of 17, she became the youngest showgirl in Las Vegas history. When Elvis Presley saw her perform he encouraged her to pursue a singing career. She toured Europe extensively as lead singer for an Italian rock band. She settled in Rome, where she became fluent in Italian. Here Cassandra met Federico Fellini, who cast her in his classic film, Roma (1972). Returning to the US, Cassandra formed her own nightclub review, "Mama’s Boys", which toured the national club circuit. In the late 1970s she joined the satiric improvisational troupe, The Groundlings, which also produced such stars as Paul Reubens (aka "Pee Wee Herman"). There she honed her now renowned comedic skills as both a writer and performer. Film and television appearances such as Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie (1980) and others followed, but Cassandra was just the typical struggling actress and spent years wondering where her next meal was coming from. It was the fall of 1981, with the birth of her character, Elvira, that it all changed. While she has since played herself in many film and television shows, Cassandra Peterson ultimately combines her numerous talents into an intriguing persona which has not only become a Halloween icon, but a "vamp" for all seasons.

Sheri Moon Zombie

Sheri may owe her entire horror movie career to her husband, but there’s no way you could overlook someone with the name "Mrs. Zombie." Still a smoking-hot blonde who’s into really dark, sick shit other than "marry me immediately"? Sheri’s the kind of girl you take home to mom only if your mom is also into tats and death metal.

Heather Lagenkamp from Nightmare on Elm Street

Heather Langenkamp (born July 17, 1964) is an American film and television actress. She is best known for her part as Nancy Thompson from the A Nightmare on Elm Street films. In 2010, she and many other of the Nightmare series alumni appeared in the documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

 

 

Such a brilliant movie, I even bought the gloves from the states, was my pride and joy for a while and they are somewhere in a box in the attic waiting…

 

This is just such filthy phone sex, I love it

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And since Johnny Depp was also in the movie, he does deserve a little picture here as well.

Nightmare on Elm Street trivia

I was so hyped when this came out and still love the black-humoured villain Freddy Krueger played by Robert Englund. OK, after number 4 they went out of control and I haven’t seen any of the rest except the re-make which is worth watching.

Trivia about Nightmare on Elm Street:

Director Wes Craven claims to have named Freddy Krueger after a kid who bullied him in school and to have based his appearance on a disfigured hobo who scared him as a youth. When Freddy Krueger is chasing Nancy and she runs up the stairs only to find that its all gross "muck", what she steps in is pancake mix. News continues after advertisement Just before Glen is pulled into the bed, the television station announces its name: "KRGR". The movie Nancy watches to stay awake is Evil Dead. Director Wes Craven’s original concept for Freddy Krueger was considerably more gruesome, with teeth showing through the flesh over the jaw, puss running from the sores, and a part of the skull showing through the head. Make-up artist ‘Miller, David B.’ argued that an actor couldn’t be convincingly made up that way and a puppet would be hard to film and wouldn’t blend well with live actors, so these ideas were eventually abandoned. In the scene where Nancy is sleeping at Tina’s house and Freddy comes through the wall over the bed, Jason’s hockey mask (from the Friday the 13th films) can be seen. Incidentally, Freddy is being played at this point by special effects man Jim Doyle wearing Freddy’s stunt mask. Johnny Depp accompanied friend Jackie Earle Haley to the auditions, where he was spotted by director Wes Craven, who asked him if he’d like to read for the part. With one exception (Freddy walking through jail-cell bars), all of the F/X in Nightmare were done using physical F/X rather than trick photography. In the end scene, the top to the convertible came down faster and harder than expected. The expression from the actors is real.

When Nancy’s dreams are "examined", when her hair turns white, the nurse is played by Wes Craven’s wife, Mimi. Over 500 gallons of fake blood was used during the making of the film. The only times you see or hear the words "Elm Street" are during the opening and closing credits. When Freddy is chasing Tina, Freddy’s long arms were marrionetted. Wes Craven claimed to have drawn inspiration for this movie from a series of news stories that involved a group of young Samoans who died from a horrific nightmare. The story goes first these young, healthy people would have a nightmare refuse to sleep for as long as they could, then when they finally fell asleep from sheer exhaustion they awoke with a scream, and died from a heart failure. This movie was almost never made. About halfway through filming, New Line lost its deal with the distribution company. As a direct result, they couldn’t pay the cast or crew for two whole weeks until they found another distribution company. They didn’t lose one crew member. Freddy Kruger was designed by Wes Craven to be the typical "silent" serial killer such as Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers. But in the sequels Freddy developed a cheeky persona that enabled him to be the black humored villain. New Line Cinema was saved from bankruptcy by the success of the film, and was jokingly nicknamed "the house that Freddy built". Wes Craven wrote the script and presented it in 1981, but no one wanted it. He said that "It just flew around" until New Line Cinema picked it up. This was the first real movie by New Line Cinema. Before that, they were just a distribution company for college campuses.

Ali Larter

OK, Ali Larter is not exactly a scream queen in it’s proper way, she hasn’t been in as many horror flicks as the rest but three horror movies is good enough for me and if you missed those, you have probably noticed her in Heroes. Sexy and sassy as hell. Scare cred:  House on Haunted Hill, Final Destination, Final Destination 2

 

 

Soledad Miranda

Soledad Miranda was an actress who was born in Seville, Spain. She frequently starred in the films of Jess Franco, such as Count Dracula and Vampyros Lesbos. It’s such a shame that she passed away so young and she is more famous now than when she actually was alive, that always sucks.

Jennifer Jason Leigh

Shawnee Smith (born July 3, 1970) is an American film and television actress and musician. Smith is best known for her roles as Amanda Young in the Saw films but I hope you guys/girls did see her in the miniseries The Stand (1994), a really good adaption for once of a Stephen King novel.

Neve Campbell

  She has survived not one, not two, but three Scream instalments. It’s no wonder those movies reinvigorated the genre—your heroines don’t come much sassier or sexier than Neve.

Scare Cred: The Dark, The Craft, Scream, Scream 2, Scream 3

Sarah Michelle Gellar

 Gotta admire her in the lovely Wonderwoman costume from the MTV Movie Awards with Jack Black at her side. 

   

Blacula trailer (1972)

I so love these really awful horror flicks. Blacula is the story of Manuwalde, an African Prince.  In 1780, after visiting Count Dracula, Manuwalde is turned into a vampire and locked in a coffin.. The scene shifts to 1972, when two antique collectors transport the coffin to Los Angeles. The two men open the coffin and unleash Blacula on the city of Los Angeles. Blacula soon finds Tina, who is his wife, Luva, reincarnated, and gains her love. Tina’s friend, Dr. Gordon, discovers Blacula is a vampire and hunts him down.

Mary Elisabeth Winstead

One of the newbies but she has been in quite a few horror movies so far, not as prolific as the rest but getting there, shame that we didn’t see more of her in Death Proof (check out the cheerleader outfit, hubba hubba… )

Scare Cred: The Ring Two, Final Destination 3, Black Christmas, Grindhouse

Jennifer Tilly

Sexy Jennifer Tilly is by turns funny, compassionate, compelling and often all at once. She successfully cultivated a fan base with the revitalization of the "Child’s Play" horror comedy franchise. For Bride of Chucky (1998), the filmmakers turned to Jennifer to create the character who would spark the series in a new direction. She established a new horror icon in Tiffany. And to top it off she is quite an amazing poker player, I would forget my cards quickly if she was sitting at the same table as me.

Scare Cred: Remote Control (1988), High Spirits (1988), Embrace of the Vampire (1995), Bride of Chucky (1998), Monsters, Inc. (2001), The Haunted Mansion (2003), Jericho Mansions (2003), Seed of Chucky (2004), Tideland (2005), The Initiation of Sarah (2006), The Caretaker (2008)

   

but honestly, could you keep your eyes on the cards with her at the same table?

Salma Hayek dancing in ‘From Dusk Til Dawn’ (1996)

 
This is the wonderful scene involving the most extraordinaire vampire-vixen, Salma Hayek. (German dubbed but who cares )

Sexy Julie Strain

One of the few stars I have actually meet, was working for a game developer company and on our geek trip to E3 in Los Angeles, she was doing some autographs, have a picture with me and her (she is tall as hell… I look like a midget beside her), but such a nice person. Julie Strain, with credits on more than 90 movies and videotapes, has been called "Queen of the B Movies". She is a genuine cult heroine. Her series of action/adventure and fantasy movies have earned her a fan base that many mainstream stars envy. She is a star attraction of calendars, posters and greeting cards.

A favourite of mine is the many Heavy Metal covers she has posed for.

 

 

 

Jamie Lee Curtis (Horror month)

Jamie Lee Curtis (born November 22, 1958) is an American actress and author. She was initially known as a "scream queen" because of her starring roles in many horror films early in her career, such as Halloween, The Fog, Prom Night and Terror Train. But she is an amazing actress and with Halloween she did really kick start the female hero into the horror genre.

I just so love this striptease scene from True Lies, both so sexy and damn funny.

Janet Leigh

Janet Leigh (July 6, 1927 – October 3, 2004) was an American actress and appeared in several popular films over the following decade, including Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960).

She achieved her most lasting recognition for her performance as the doomed Marion Crane in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho(1960). For this role she was awarded the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She continued to appear occasionally in films and television, including two performances with her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis in The Fog (1980) and Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It gotta be one of the most famous scenes in movie history. 

   

 

The girl she is holding is her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis.

Asia Argento (Horror month)

From birth, it was practically guaranteed that Asia Argento would grow up to be someone interesting. She was born into an Italian horror movie dynasty, for a start. Her father, Dario Argento, has made some of the blackest and bloodiest movies of the genre – slasher flicks like Suspiria, Profondo Rosso, and Tenebre. Her mother, Daria Nicolodi, an actress, met a gruesome end in many of them. The only things her father would read to her at bedtime were his movie scripts, and as a treat on her sixth birthday, little Asia was allowed to watch Poltergeist. Growing up Argento was clearly a barrel of laughs. “My father did horror movies and my mother was always being killed in these movies – but my childhood was not as extreme as you would think,” says the 30-year-old Asia. “I had a certain detachment from it, and a lot of pride. I thought it was really cool.”

 
She started her acting career when she was only nine years old. Since then she’s been in over fifteen movies, she has won two ‘DAVID DI DONATELLO’ (the italian oscar), two ‘CIACK’, an italian ‘GOLDEN GLOBE’ when she was only twelve, and a ‘GROLLA D’ORO’. She acted in French and in English.

The above movie was just so aweome, love George A Romero to bits…

Fay Wray

Well, there really isn’t any other way to start posting about the great scream queens than with the truly 1st scream queen.

Born in Cardston, Alberta in 1907, Fay Wray later moved to Arizona. At the age of 14, she went to California dreaming of a movie career and before long, began picking up small parts in westerns and comedy shorts. In 1926, Erich von Stronheim cast Wray as the female lead in The Wedding March – her own all-time personal favourite role. Shortly after, she played opposite Gary Cooper in the war drama, Legion of the Condemned and was re-teamed with him for 1928′s The First Kiss.

But it was the classic "beauty and the beast" film, King Kong (1933) that secured Fay Wray’s place in film history.Wray was cast as an actress who becomes the love object of a monster gorilla. After a rampage in the streets of New York, Kong scales the Empire State Building with Fay Wray in his hairy hands.

After her death in August 2004, at the age of 96, the lights at the Empire State Building were dimmed in her memory.

Getting your own stamp, how cool isn’t that.
