Fantasm magazine puts the spotlight on Linnea Quigley

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Last year, print media veterans Chris Alexander, Brian Steward, and Bill Mohalley joined forces to form the Fantasm Media Group, with the intention being to create high quality, limited edition, officially licensed magazines that focus on some of the most celebrated names in horror and other genres. The Fantasm magazine got its start in the most perfect way possible, with an issue dedicated to the legendary George A. Romero.

The Fantasm folks have now made an excellent choice for the subject of their second magazine, which will shine a spotlight on the career of scream queen Linnea Quigley.

Scheduled to ship out in May, the official Linnea Quigley magazine has the following description and content: 

Do you wanna party? It’s party time!

FANTASM PRESENTS magazine is excited to dedicate its second issue entirely to the First Lady of Indie Fright and the Queen Bee of the B’s… Lady Linnea Quigley!

From her early days in cheeky flicks like Charles Band’s FAIRY TALES to her memorable appearances in movies SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT to her iconic turns in pictures like RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD and NIGHT OF THE DEMONS, no one has more charmingly navigated the changes in independent genre filmmaking than actress and horror icon Linnea Quigley. 

Linnea’s story goes beyond the silver scream however, and FANTASM PRESENTS #2: LINNEA QUIGLEY is a testament to her positive outlook, kindness, endurance in the face of professional and personal setbacks and unyielding desire to keep evolving her craft.

ADULT CONTENT: MUST BE 18 TO PURCHASE

48 pages.  English.

The content of the magazine sounds really great to me, and I’m especially intrigued by the “Linnea on Linnea: A-Z” article. Quigley has 150 credits listed on IMDb, so that’s a lot of ground to cover.

Copies of the magazine can be pre-ordered directly from Fantasm, but as the description says you must be 18 to purchase because the magazine features adult content. (There was a good amount of nudity in some of those movies Quigley made.)
