Synopsis by Steve Blackburn
What's a ghoul to do? Part of the 13-episode 100 Years of Horror series directed by Ted Newsom and hosted by horror movie star Christopher Lee, 100 Years of Horror: Scream Queens & Girl Ghouls takes a look at the tremendous appeal and genre influence of damsels in horrific distress. Included are Fay Wray (King Kong, 1933) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, 1978). The program also examines the fright appeal of scary women and includes interviews with "girl ghouls" Linnea Quigley (Rat Woman in the television movie Burial of the Rats, 1995) and Brinke Stevens (Marci in Nightmare Sisters, aka Sorority Succubus Sisters, 1987). Highlights include film clips from King Kong, The Phantom of the Opera, The Most Dangerous Game, and others.
