MovieDocumentary
Three girls living in Los Angeles, CA in the 1980s found cult fame when they "accidentally" transitioned from models to B-movie actresses, coinciding with the major direct-to-video horror film boom of the era. Known as "The Terrifying Trio," Linnea Quigley (The Return of the Living Dead), Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre) and Michelle Bauer (The Tomb), headlined upwards of ten films per year, fending off men in rubber monster suits, pubescent teenage boys, and deadly showers. They joined together in campy cult films like Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama (1988) and Nightmare Sisters (1987). They traveled all over the world, met President Reagan, and built mini-empires of trading cards, comic books, and model kits. Then it all came crashing down. This documentary remembers these actresses - and their most common collaborators - on how smart they were to play stupid

MovieDocumentary
When you mention "The Letter People" to a 50-year-old who experienced them as a child, their eyes widen with excitement. Here's why... Pre-dating "Sesame Street," teacher Elayne Reiss-Weimann devised a way for her severely struggling students to learn the basic elements of reading. The result, with aid from her co-teacher Rita Friedman, was The Letter People - a national phenomenon throughout the 1970s and 80s in kindergarten & first grade classrooms. Kids fell madly in love with the inflatable characters — The Huggables — whom they believed were alive. It invented techniques that are used by other reading programs to this day! Watch this amazing story told by Elayne, original publisher Dr. Bernard Kauderer, and others who brought the program to life & turned it into a pop culture sensation.
