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-a-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.

| User ReviewJim HIf you're a fan of scream queens Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead), Brinke Stevens (Slumber Party Massacre) and Michele Bauer (Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bow-o-rama) this documentary perfectly encapsulates their careers, with particular focus on the height of their fame in the mid/late-1980s. 100s of film clips and photos are included. I watched this on SyFy and loved it so much I bought the dvd right away. |
