About COFOH Guest Brinke Stevens: Brinke Stevens has been involved in the film business since 1981, with her debut in Roger Corman’s Slumber Party Massacre. She has appeared in over 200 movies, many of them fantasy and horror, earning her the honored title of “Scream Queen”. Her recent films include Disciples, Axeman, Adam K, Safe Inside, and Die Sister, Die!. She was featured in The Psycho Legacy documentary.
