Definition

The term "scream queen" is more specifically used to refer to the attractive young damsel-in-distress [3] characters that have appeared in a number of films in the horror genre. Lloyd Kaufman, co-founder of Troma Entertainment, noted that being a scream queen is "more than just crying and having ketchup thrown on you. You not only have to be attractive, but you also have to have a big brain. You have to be frightened, you have to be sad, you have to be romantic." [3]

Debbie Rochon, often described as a scream queen herself, wrote in an article originally published in GC Magazine that "a true Scream Queen isn't The Perfect Woman. She's sexy, seductive, but most importantly attainable to the average guy, or so it would seem." [4] Although the earlier scream queens might be women that "just had to look pretty and shriek a lot until the hero of the film got around to save them." The later scream queens showcase women worrying about something other than a guy...unless said guy is the one trying to kill them, with some of them wreaking vengeance by defeating the villain. [5]

History

Beginnings (1920s-60s)

The prominence of women in horror films dates back to the silent movie era, with notable examples including the productions The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Nosferatu (1922). George Feltenstein, film historian and senior vice president of theatrical catalog marketing at Warner Home Video, states, "Women screaming in terror has been a Hollywood mainstay – even when films were silent". [3] Fay Wray, an actress starring in King Kong (1933), is sometimes referred to as the "very first scream queen". [6] Anne Gwynne, Chris Pine's grandmother, is known for scream queen roles in the 1930s and 1940s. [7] [8] [9] Janet Leigh, playing Marion in Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960), is regarded as the "one of the most iconic [10] " scream queens in horror film history. [11]

Veronica Cartwright was also a prominent scream queen of the 1970s but found her beginnings as a scream queen in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds in the 60s. Later in the 70s she appeared in the 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers as well as Alien in 1979.

Four actresses in the 1970s became seminal examples of a "scream queen" for the decade: Sandra Peabody, who portrayed Mari Collingwood in The Last House on the Left (1972) then went to appear in Voices of Desire (1972) and Legacy of Satan (1974). Marilyn Burns, who portrayed Sally Hardesty in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) would go onto appearing in Helter Skelter (1976) and Eaten Alive (1977). Olivia Hussey, who portrayed Jess Bradford in Black Christmas (1974) then It (1990), and Jamie Lee Curtis, daughter of Psycho actress Janet Leigh, portrayed Laurie Strode in Halloween (1978). [12] Curtis has been called the "ultimate 'scream queen'". [13] [14]

Dee Wallace appeared in Wes Craven's 1977 horror film The Hills Have Eyes before going on to establish herself as a scream queen in the 1980s by appearing in The Howling (1981), Cujo (1983) and Critters (1986). [15] Daria Nicolodi played the role of the scream queen in most of her films directed by Dario Argento ( Deep Red , Inferno , Phenomena , Terror at the Opera ).

1980s

The success of Halloween revived slasher films during the late 1970s and 1980s. [16] Examples include Terror Train and Prom Night , in which Jamie Lee Curtis would again play the scream queen; Friday the 13th , the first entry to have both a female antagonist (Betsy Palmer) and protagonist (Adrienne King); [17] and A Nightmare on Elm Street , now considered a slasher classic, [18] which introduced supernatural serial killer Freddy Krueger, and whose leading actress, Heather Langenkamp, was dubbed a scream queen, and went on to become one of the most influential.

Linnea Quigley was a scream queen during the 1980s, appearing specifically in low-budget and cult-classic films such as Graduation Day , Silent Night, Deadly Night , Return of the Living Dead and Night of the Demons . British actress Catriona MacColl became a scream queen after appearing in three Italian horror films directed by Lucio Fulci, City of the Living Dead (1980), The Beyond (1981) and House by the Cemetery (1981).

Following her Saturn Award-nominated performance in Exorcist II: The Heretic , Oscar-nominee Linda Blair parlayed her classic 1973 The Exorcist role into a slew of 80s horror performances, including Hell Night. In 2008, at the Malaga Fantasy & Horror Film Festival, Blair received a lifetime achievement award for her work in the horror genre.

The American actor Robert Englund, who has played Freddy Krueger throughout various Nightmare on Elm Street related productions, is an example of a "scream king".

The term "scream king" has been used to refer to male leading actors who have made their name through taking on leading roles in horror movies as a "final guy" character. Rachel Roth defines the rise of the "scream kings" as a result of moving away from formulas where men are typically cast as monsters for a female character to fight off and female actresses being cast less as victims and sometimes as the monster or villain themselves. Roth cites Bruce Campbell as an early example of a scream king for his role in the Evil Dead franchise. [51] Campbell has also been referred to as "the definitive scream king." [52] Another notable early example of a scream king would be Robert Englund, who played Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise. [53] [54]

The actor Mark Patton, star of A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge , has been touted at various conventions as mainstream horror's first "male scream queen" and as somebody with a satirical public image having homoerotic elements. He's also notable for being one of the first openly LGBT performers within that particular movie genre. [55]
