No woman in the 80's represented horror better than Linnea Quigley; Sure Rhonda Shear and Elvira did their part, but did they show their boobs and butt practically every chance they got? No, I don't think so.
She started off innocent enough, as a 15 year old beauty queen from Iowa; She won of course, and with her crown made of Newports and her Jack Daniel's scepter, she headed off to Hollywood to be in movie picture shows!
She starred in Don't Go Near the Park and Graduation Day in 1981, but it wasn't until 1984 that the Horror world took true notice of her; her impaling on a deer's antlers in Silent Night, Deadly Night is now a thing of legend. I actually killed my uncle that year because that movie convinced me that Santa was evil... Thanks a lot Linnea! (Don't feel guilty though hun, I was going to try out my "electric cookies and milk trick" on the fat bastard anyways. Serves him right for not bringing me the He-Man guys I wanted.)
The next year, she landed the role of a lifetime; in Return of the Living Dead, she played a skanky, punk rocker junkie named Trash, who was a whore, and was actually trash like her name implied. She also was one of the coolest zombie characters ever in one of the coolest zombie movies ever made. Plus she was naked again.
Guess what? She was hardly finished being naked in horror movies, that's what!
So Linnea Quigley is our quintessential Horror Hottie of the 80's, simply because no one worked harder than she did. Well, I worked harder than she did trying to get my pants off while she was on screen, but she still wins. I was 14, give me a break!
She was in some cool movies, she always showed some naked boobs and butt, and she was always smiling while she did it. What a champ. We love you Linnea, and will always remember the good times.
