Any fans of Barbara Crampton here? She became a horror scream queen in the late 80's appearing in Re-Animator, From Beyond and Chopping Mall. She continued to work into the 90's but then quit acting completely to raise her kids. Now she's back and appearing in several newer horror movies and she is a most welcome presence on my screen again. This October, I've already seen her in Beyond the Gates and Tales of Halloween. Every Barbara Crampton movie I've seen: Body Double (1984) Fraternity Vacation (1985) Re-Animator (1985) Chopping Mall (1986) From Beyond (1986) Puppetmaster (1989) You're Next (2011) The Lords of Salem (2012) We Are Still Here (2015) Tales of Halloween (2015) Beyond the Gates (2016)

Always enjoy her presence in the Stuart Gordon stuff, and of course, I always forget she is in Chopping Mall or Puppet Master until I go to rewatch one of them and am pleasantly sruprised all over again. Wish her career had gone further, as I think she had the chops and the looks to really breakthrough. Ah well, we'll always have this:

Inspired by my cramp for Crampton, I'm currently watching her in Dead Night (2017).

I remember her getting attention for her two Gordon films back to back--and then she slipped off the radar. One day in the 90s I was watching afternoon tv and switched to a soap opera and there she was!
She did another Gordon film in the mid 90s I didn't even know about. CASTLE FREAK.
Have yet to see it.

I think she has a ton of fans in both the horror and soap opera camps, same with Kassie Wesley DePaiva from Evil Dead II who is still on soaps and has been since that movie came out. I've never seen Castle Freak yet either.

I lost track of horror by 1995 thanks to Fangoria getting too expensive.

I used to read Famous Monsters but then it was stopped so I switched to Fangoria. I realized recently I got my first Famous Monsters at 6 years of age. The magazine said "for readers 12 and up!"

One of the greats.
I like these movies :
1984 Body Double Carol 1985 Fraternity Vacation Chrissie 1985 Re-Animator Megan Halsey 1986 Chopping Mall Suzie Lynn 1986 From Beyond Dr. Katherine McMichaels 1989 Puppet Master Woman at Carnival Cameo appearance 1991 Trancers II Sadie Brady 1993 Robot Wars Leda 1995 Castle Freak Susan Reilly 1996 Space Truckers Carol 2001 Thy Neighbor's Wife Nicole Garrett 2004 The Sisterhood Ms. Master 2011 You're Next Aubrey 2012 The Lords of Salem Virginia Cable
2015 Tales of Halloween Darla
She's good in 'We Are Still Here' (2015) from former publicist Ted Geogheganbut but I found it way too referential. I don't recall much about 'Beyond The Gates' (2016).

She was the video ghost/ghoul in Beyond the Gates, which I only saw two weeks ago.

Last I saw her was playing the mother in You're Next. She wasn't bad but like everyone else, she got overshadowed by Sharni Vinson.
