Whose Your Favourite Scream Queen

[snowbeast323]

Just Curious.....

I'm am tempted to say Jamie Lee Curtis....

But then there is Linnea Quigley..... :confused:

Oh but mine has to be Linda Blair!

Whose yours?

[lakini71]

Performance and appeal are key factors in this, so I have to say Jamie Lee Curtis, without a doubt. No other scream queen can touch her.

[scott71670]

There wil always be a place in my heart for Linnea Quigley, but my favorite current scream queen is Alan Rowe Kelly.

[Kim Bruun]

I love Jamie Lee Curtis, but Amy Steel did a pretty spectacular job in Friday the 13th: Part 2, and though she may not be the most accomplished actress, I also have a soft spot for Dana Kimmell (Sweet 16, Friday the 13th: Part 3). Cécile de France may only have one horror title to her credit (Haute Tension), but what a powerful performance!

[JoseCocodrilo]

Well i too love Jamie Lee and Linnea, but I think Sarah Michelle Gellar was great in "I Know what you did..."

[DVD-fanatic-9]

I'm coming up with almost blank here. But, because she worked with 3 of the American Masters of Horror (Romero, Craven, and Carpenter) - I'm going with Adrienne Barbeau.

But I also really love Linnea.

[CrazyFatEthel]

Jaime Lee Curtis, Leslie Donaldson, Linnea Quigley, Margot Kidder, and Olivia Hussey.

Linnea Quigley.... ;)

but Jamie Lee Curtis hand down was the best.

[Regurgitate]

Is there a very narrow definition of scream queen? Like say from a certain period and country of origin?

[DrHerbertWest]

I'd vote for Linnea too.

[Body Boy]

Linnea Quigley and Lesleh Donaldson.

[bigdaddyhorse]

Linnea Quigley. Many other have came and gone with better looks and better acting, but she was there to shape me into the horror fan I am today. Jamie Lee is close runner-up, and with a bit more gratuiyos nudity would've won.

[russweiss]

I would pick Linnea Quigley but I also enjoy Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer. I met Linnea at a Fangoria weekend of horrors and she signed this poster.

[Mattapooh]

Does Margot Kidder count? I think her performance and character in Black Christmas was probably my favorite female in a horror flick. The fact that Bob Clark wrote all her character's stuff is even more impressive, considering.

[eric_angelus]

All time favorite is Jamie Lee Curtis. I also really like Amy Steele and Barbara Crampton. My favorite among current actresses is Tiffany Shepis.

[pdw]

Linnea is mine too. Though, Amy Steele is great.

[Slackjaw83]

Linnea Quigley, hand's down. Though not as notable (and, really, not *really* a scream queen), I'd say that Monique Gabrielle is a close 2nd

[Copyboy]

1. Jamie Lee Curtis
2. Nancy Loomis
3. Amy Steel
4. Brooke Adams

[DVD-fanatic-9]

I also enjoy Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer.
They're on my top 5 list as well. I also think Bauer stole the show in Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers from Linnea. Brinke was especially good in Transylvania Twist and as Taffy in Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.

[Matt89]

Definitely Jamie Lee.

[Body Boy]

My God! How could I have forgotten my dear Caroline? :(

[AndresG]

Linnea Quigley just rules, hard to match.

[killit]
