In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we shine the spotlight on some of the most iconic mature women in horror—Lynn Shaye, Linnea Quigley, Veronica Cartwright, Barbara Crampton, Debbie Rochon, and Dee Wallace. From scream queens to psychological powerhouses, these women have carved their legacies into the genre, proving that horror only gets better with age.
We break down their careers, highlight their most memorable roles, and discuss their lasting impact on horror films. How have their performances evolved over time? What makes them stand out from younger stars in the genre? And what unique challenges (and triumphs) do older women face in horror? We cover it all with our signature blend of humor, analysis, and love for the genre.
If you’re a horror fan who grew up watching these legends or just discovering their work, this episode is for you!
