31 Days of Horror 2023 Day 16 Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout

 

TITLE-Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout

SOURCE-Terror Vision Blu Ray


The late 80s cult horror/comedy/parody finally hit Blu Ray. I have been watching a rip of the VHS for close to 20 years. This BLu Ray was made from the Betacam master. And you get the 480i made from that. Then a 1080i AI upscale of that rip.

What is the film? 60 minutes made to sell piles of VHS. Linnea does a spoof of the popular at the time Celebrity Workout videos. She exercises in tight outfits and we see clips from her various movies. During a slumber party a killer in a Reagan mask starts killing off Linnea's friends. And we learn how she stays in shape during the final twist near the end.

Loaded with extras this is a great release of what is an almost forgotten piece of Scream Queen history.Linnea was one of a handful of actresses that made b horror and sold piles of pics at cons. And we ended up with two DTV movies based around the idea that the fans of these Scream Queens would pay 50 bucks for an hour of them running around almost nude.

Those extras include recently done interviews with Linnea,the director and Mick Garris's wife,who was majorly involved in this film. The old commentary I am guessing from the DVD release. And  a new commentary.

This is a limited Blu Ray made for a small niche of fans. But for those fans it is a much wanted release.

Linnea Quigley's Horror Workout gets a B.
