In the 1980s, three young women residing in Los Angeles, California, unexpectedly rose to cult stardom as they shifted from modeling to acting in B-movies. This transition aligned perfectly with the surge of direct-to-video horror films during that time. Dubbed “The Terrifying Trio,” Linnea Quigley (known for The Return of the Living Dead), Brinke Stevens (from The Slumber Party Massacre), and Michelle Bauer (featured in The Tomb) starred in over ten films annually, battling men in rubber monster costumes, adolescent boys, and perilous showers. They became icons in campy cult classics such as Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama (1988) and Nightmare Sisters (1987). Their fame took them around the globe, even meeting President Reagan, and they established small empires with trading cards, comic books, and model kits. However, their success eventually unraveled. This documentary reflects on these actresses and their frequent collaborators, highlighting their cleverness in portraying seemingly naive characters.
