80’s Babe and Voice Actor Joins Rob Zombie’s ’31’
We’ve got some fresh casting for Rob Zombie’s Halloween horror 31, and it’s a name that’s pretty exciting (well, at least to me).
Elizabeth Daily (E.G. Daily) will be playing ‘Sex-head’, the insane partner of Death-Head, to be played by the previously announced Torsten Voges.
“These two maniacs are ready to get down and rip your face off,” said Zombie.
I’m personally a huge fan of daily, a stunning actress who was one of my 80’s crushes. She can be seen in Valley Girl (always in my iTunes catalog), as well as Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, Better Off Dead, Streets of Fire and even Lover Boy.
She eventually became a voice actor known for playing Tommy Pickles in “Rugrats.”
Thanks to Joe for the tip.
“31 follows five carnival workers who are kidnapped the night before Halloween and held hostage in a large secret compound known as Murder World.
Once there, they have 12 hours to survive a terrifying game called 31 in which ‘The Heads’- murderous maniacs dressed as clowns – are released to hunt them down and kill them.”
Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
