The New Scream Queen?
After watching the remake of The Crazies, I think I found the current version of the ultra B-movie scream queen. Who takes the dubious honor of modern day scream queen, in my eyes? Danielle Panabaker. In the Crazies (spoilers) she gets hung, but before her annoying character was finished off, she put on the performance fitting for the award; she has a good set of pipes. In the remake of the Friday the 13th, (another spoiler) she puts on yet another good showing. A little known fact is she played Kevin Costner’s character’s daughter in Mr. Brooks, but she doesn’t die nor does she do a lot of screaming. Besides that, what qualifies someone to be a scream queen? One, they have to be cute, second, they have to play a minor role or a role that almost thrusts them to star level, and they have to die. In both horror movies, she fits those requirements. Her screams are also boisterous and loud. Tenedra Howard played a good screamer, but she’s still early in her career. Danielle Panabaker’s the only one that comes to mind that is deserving of the award (currently), but if you can think of others, feel free to share your thoughts. Danielle will be in The Ward, where she will play an institutionalized patient. You know she’s gonna scream.
