Thanks for the GREAT post, petrolino!

As you know, this genre generally speaking is not really in my wheelhouse, but I love so many of these wonderful actresses in other roles (and even in some of those you mention, it's true) that it's a treat to be reminded of them again, and of their enduring and important careers.

Thanks again!

Thanks spiderwort. I tried to paint horror with broad strokes here, so there's potentially something for everyone, if someone's looking for a few films to watch during the Halloween season.

Superb post. The work that went into it had me sitting back in my chair. You can watch movies only so many times (even favorites) before they begin to draw a bit of dust on the shelf. You gave me a lot of good leads on titles I'm not familiar with. Bravo for your effort.

There are UK films I never heard of that list.

One of these days I need to get around to seeing Inseminoid which I saw listed in More Classics of the Horror Film. Been curious about it ever since.

Tam Lin 1970 is another one for Stephanie Beacham

petrolino it really astounds me the amount of work you put into your threads. They really deserve more recognition (from myself included)

Nice list of ladies, many of which I grew up on. I was totally unaware Vicki Michelle had an acting sister!

Two I would have thought worthy of inclusion (not that you didn't)

Fenella Fielding - for The Old Dark House and her unforgettable turn in Carry On Screaming

And Hammer regular Martine Beswick

This shows how vibrant regional film used to be. We tend to think of "scream queens" as a US phenomenon--but consider how many names had prominent roles just in UK film.
There's others like Beswick, Veronica Carlson, Anna Palk, Candace Glendenning, Jenny Hanley...

will allow." Frankenstein
