Are Scream Queens Still Being Made Today?
If so, please point them out to me.
I'm of the opinion that this rank is something that died out in the '90s. I may be wrong though. |

What is a scream queen?

Re: Are Scream Queens Still Being Made Today?
Yes. Mia Goth and Jenna Ortega are the newest potential scream queens.

Anna Taylor-Joy says hello.

Re: Are Scream Queens Still Being Made Today?
There was a reality-contest-game show back in 2008 called Scream Queens.
It was one I actually watched. The concept was 10 wannabe actresses competed to win a role in a horror movie by going through a series of contests. The contests were pretty entertaining (kind of Fear Factor meets The Bachelor meets America's Next Top Model). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1248289/ |

Yeeeeeah, I'm not too sure about calling her a Scream Queen. She's done some horror, but she's done more nonhorror things than horror. I mean, she's the voice of Princess Peach for crying out loud.

Jaime Lee Curtis didn’t? Her career existed outside of horror, as well. Even in the ‘80’s. Just seems a little like splitting hairs, here.
As far as Anya goes, come on, are you really gonna try to make that work? Lol |

I prefer horror and Sci Fi, but I’ll watch pretty much anything

I guess it's partly due to the fact that I really don't respect slasher movies all that much. I like my Scream Queens to be more challenged by monsters and such. I'm old school.

Lol As for ATJ….The Witch, Split, Last Night in Soho, The New Mutants (don’t roll your eyes lol, it’s labeled as horror), The Menu…Split might be more “thriller” I guess? I’d say she has done enough to warrant being in the discussion.* Actors/actresses today have more roles available to avoid being typecast in any specific genre, but I wouldn’t necessarily say that should disqualify one from being labeled as a Scream Queen. |

It’s called being well versed in cinema. I’d wager it might be you who is out of your element, here. If you’d rather be dismissive, however, be my guest. Probably best to not continue this and end the conversation if you’re not up for discussing in good faith. |

Curtis is definitely a Scream Queen. One of the iconic ones.

Well as long as it's labeled as horror. I wouldn't want you to step out of bounds and do something unregulated. Lol |

Probably best to not continue this and end the conversation if you’re not up for discussing in good faith. I mean no offense, you're probably a nice dude and you can probably talk about a number of different movies, but when it comes to horror you don't seem to be on an obsessive wavelength like myself and you don't understand things like - Jamie Lee Curtis isn't the horror icon you think she is. Her being a horror icon is the mainstream public perception, but it's very uncommon in my circle of like-minded horror fans. I don't mean to bust you, or call you out, but you kind of asked for it. Have you ever considered the fact that people who don't live in America might not appreciate Jamie Lee Curtis' horror icon status like you do? That her performances might seem very bland and repetitive, to outright money grubbing. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of The Fog, but Adrienne Barbeau is 10 times the scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis is. *Mic drop* |
Maybe this thread would've been better suited as "Are Scream Queens Still Being Made Today Under Specifically What I Consider To Be Scream Queens?".
