Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Linnea Quigley into the ol’ VCR.

Barbara Linnea Quigley was born on May 27, 1958, but you probably know her better as just Linnea Quigley, one of the most badass Scream Queens of all time. 

She grew up in Idaho but moved to LA with her parents after high school. There, she took a job at a health spa…owned by Jack LaLanne (just casual), and began to pursue acting and modeling, as well as guitar lessons. 

Linnea Quigley’s first role was in Fairy Tales (1978), and she acted in other small roles until Graduation Day in 1981. 

Then, in 1984, she appeared in Savage Streets, but, more importantly, Silent Night, Deadly Night. 

From there, she would go on to star in horror classics like Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Demons (1988), and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, to name a few. 

Linnea Quigley isn’t just a Scream Queen, though. 

She started a badass all-girl group called The Skirts in the 1980s that she acted as the lead singer for, has written three books, and is a major animal rights activist and vegan. 

There’s not much more that I can say about Linnea Quigley that hasn’t already been said. 

Linnea, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
