SCREAMING IN HIGH HEELS
MakeFlix Press Release
They've screamed, taken off their clothes and died horribly for us since the mid-1980s. Now "Screaming in High Heels: The Rise & Fall of the Scream Queen Era" — the pop culture documentary that honors Linnea Quigley ("The Return of the Living Dead"), Brinke Stevens ("The Slumber Party Massacre"), and Michelle Bauer ("Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers") — celebrates another decade with a Special Edition release on Blu-Ray & DVD.

Both discs include an all-new 2020 Reunion with all three actresses (shot via Zoom during the COVID-19 epidemic), a new photo gallery, trailer, two previous Flashback Weekend Q&A sessions with Stevens and Quigley, additional 2011 outtakes of all three women, and the unedited cut of the feature (which aired on NBCUniversal's SyFy & Chiller networks).

Hulu's Adaptation of Stephen King's THE EYES OF THE DRAGON is Dead
by Joey Paur
Noooooo! I have been waiting to see an adaptation of Stephen King's classic 1984 fantasy novel The Eyes of The Dragon for years! I love this story and last year it was announced that Hulu was developing a series with writer and producer Seth Grahame-Smith, who produced the two It films. He was set as showrunner and this could have been a seriously epic series! But, unfortunately, it's no longer happening.
