Something to Scream About: Written and directed by former Femme Fatales Magazine editor Jason Paul Collum, “Something to Scream About” is a thoughtful, respectful documentary focusing on the careers of nine actresses who got their start in horror movies. The neuftet of the so-called “scream queens” (introduced by Stevens, the only genuine “Scream Queen” of the bunch) range from the talented Debbie Rochon, star of over a hundred independent films, to Felissa Rose, who made her start as the thirteen-year-old star of “Sleepaway Camp” and has only recently returned to filmmaking.
The women speak frankly about the industry, about getting their start in movies, about aging, nudity, and their own sense of worth and talent. There’s a great deal of enthusiasm and honesty on display here – particularly from the intimidating Amazon and former Penthouse Pet Julie Strain, who admits that she never shied away from nudity because she wasn’t that good of an actress and had little else to offer producers (perhaps a harsh assessment, but honest, nonetheless).
