Linnea Quigley is a legendary scream queen best known for her roles in cult horror classics like The Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons, Graduation Day, Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, and over 120+ films.


In this episode, we'll talk about the upcoming Trash’s Revenge, some of her most iconic roles, the chaos of B-movie filmmaking, Me-Too's impact on Hollywood, and nudity in film.


We get into Hollywood’s shift since the 80s and what's changed, AI’s impact on film, and why B-movies just don’t hit the same anymore. Linnea shares wild stories from haunted sets, UFO sightings, and her take on fake scream queens.


From auditioning for Quentin Tarantino to surviving the grind of low-budget horror, we'll unpack unfiltered stories from one of horror’s most beloved icons.
