Fantastic doc on Scream Queens!

If you like Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, or Michelle Bauer aka if you grew up watching '80s horror, this documentary is perfect for you! I had a blast watching this and I wish it was even longer. I could listen to these directors and actresses talk forever. I wish they had even more B movie directors on here or went into more depth on what Brinke said about newer indie sets being abusive but I'll rewatch this a lot. I'm going to check out the extended interviews on my DVD too. So glad I bought this! I hope more people discover it. It's really an excellent movie and gives you so much insight into what these actresses went through as well as that period of filmmaking.
