What Makes a Scream Queen? FANGORIA’s CASUALTY FRIDAY Weighs In

The term scream queen is more controversial than you might expect. The label is actually hotly debated in the horror community, mostly because it is unclear as to what exactly defines a scream queen.

Is it the sheer number of movies made (Tiffany Shepis)? The iconic nature of the movies themselves (Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, Felissa Rose)? Perhaps the willingness to bare your breasts on camera (Linnea Quigley)? 

These questions are explored in detail by horror favorites and hosts of FANGORIA’s CASUALTY FRIDAY, Kane Hodder, Tiffany Shepis, and Felissa Rose. All of whom lend their two cents on the topic.

Along the way, Tiffany and Felissa, discuss the pros and cons of being a scream queen, the woes of being a final girl, and they even weigh in on which iconic male slasher they would portray if the roles were gender-reversed in a remake! 

So what exactly defines a scream queen? Listen to the episode and decide for yourself! Episode 4 is live on Apple PodcastsSpotify, and everywhere you listen. Don’t forget to subscribe today!
