"Jonah Lives" (2012)
Brinke Stevens is probably one of the most
famous scream queens of our time with 137 movies to her name,
including:
The Slumber Party Massacre, Slave Girls from Beyond
Infinity, Tales from the Darkside,
Eyes Are Upon You, The Boneyard Collection, to name a few.
I recently had the pleasure of doing a short interview with
Brinke!
1. What was your favorite thing to
dress up as for Halloween in childhood?
The first costume that I can recall was a
sparkly Princess dress, with one of those full-face plastic
masks of a blonde 'Sleeping Beauty'-type. My mother bought it
for me, of course. Little did she realize that even at age
six, I gravitated more toward the evil queen in fairy tales,
such as Maleficent. As soon as I was older, I began wearing
more appropriate Halloween attire, i.e. sexy black stuff!

2. What is your favorite horror movie
and why?
As films go, I've always liked "Evil Dead"
and "The Dead Zone". Lately, I've been watching more TV-shows
on DVD, such as "American Horror Story", which I thought was
excellent. And although none of these would be considered
"horror", I was also impressed by "Once Upon a Time", plus the
sci-fi series "Fringe" and BBC's "Sherlock" about a modern-day
Sherlock Holmes. The high caliber of acting and amazing
special effects on television has become SO good.
3.Who are your favorite horror movie
actors/actresses?
Christopher Walken is peerless, such a
wonderful character actor. As for actresses, I never tire of
watching Debbie Rochon and Linnea Quigley in everything they
do.

Quigley and Michelle Bauer (2012)
4. What is your favorite movie
you have acted in & why?
Back in the 1990s, I felt "Haunting Fear"
was my best performance; I survived till the end, playing a
woman who was slowly being driven insane by her con-artist
husband. I had the pleasure of working with Jan-Michael
Vincent and Karen Black on it, too. More recently, I had meaty
roles in Jason Paul Collum's "Safe Inside", and also Joe
Hollow's "Disciples". Last year, I wrote, directed, and
starred in "Personal Demons", so I have to say that's been my
absolute favorite movie so far. I played a horror actress who
accidentally summons up a real demon while rehearsing a movie
script.

5. As a child who did you idolize?
When I was very young, my mother took me to
see my first theatrical movie, which I think was called "The
Snow Queen". Forget about identifying with the young boy and
girl heroes... I wanted to be that beautiful Queen! As
mentioned, I've idolized the well-dressed bad girls for as
long as I can remember.
6. Any current projects?
Last year, I starred in 10 films, including
"Axeman at Cutter's Creek" (playing a tough small-town
Sheriff), "Head Cases" (as a serial killer's mother), and
"Jonah Lives" (a murderous party-girl). So far this year, I've
shot "Die Sister Die!" and the webizode "Silicon Assassin", in
which I played the President of the United States. That one
was truly exceptional, and should be available on-line in a
few months.
