Book Description
Jamie Lee Curtis launched her film career with the immortal 1978 horror classic Halloween, creating a heroine in Laurie Strode who would become the prototype for the ultimate scream queen. Subsequent roles in horror films like The Fog, Prom Night, Terror Train, Roadgames and Halloween II - all of which are genre classics - would cement Curtis' status as cinema's undisputed scream queen, a title she holds to this day. Jamie Lee Curtis: Scream Queen details Curtis' career and life during her scream queen era and includes detailed and never-before-seen production histories - as well as running commentary - of the horror films that made Jamie Lee Curtis a genre icon. Featuring hundreds of interviews with Curtis' friends and colleagues - including John Carpenter, Richard Franklin, Debra Hill, Paul Lynch, Rick Rosenthal, Roger Spottiswoode - and years of intense research, Jamie Lee Curtis: Scream Queen is a comprehensive biography, an invaluable film reference, and a painstaking document of horror film history. David Grove is the author of Fantastic 4: The Making of the Movie (Titan Books) and Making Friday the 13th (FAB Press). He has written for such publications as Dreamwatch, Fangoria, Film Review, Film Threat, Hot Dog, MovieMaker, Rue Morgue, Sci-Fi Magazine, Shivers and Total Film. He lives in British Columbia, Canada.

Her otherworldly scream does not escape the attention of Jake, a handsome Hollywood horror movie director. Thus, begins Vera's new life of playing the victim at Falchion Films. But Vera is no victim, as Jake sees when she stands up to Barry, the mysogynistic producer. Pretty and petite, Vera draws a depraved fan base and the jealousy of two aging "scream queens."

When Barry learns Vera is a virgin his ultimate fantasy, to capture an actual virgin sacrifice onscreen and sell the film on the dark web, is within reach. Will Jake win back Vera's love and save her, or will Vera become Barry's fantasy come true? Buckle up. Scream Queen is a thriller which rides the razor's edge between horror and humor.
