What can I
say about Michelle? Well she
certainly attracts many
attentions to the trashy b-film
viewers and has performed alot of
nudity in her films. Also she has
worked in many exploited horror
films directed by Fred Olen Ray
and David DeCoteau as well as
many spoofs on horror flicks (She
seems to have a knack for
comedy). Plus she is billed as a
scream queen on the same level as
Linnea Quigley and Brinke
Stevens. Also she played a killer
in horror films as not all scream
queens have to be a victim using
their lung power.
The first
time I spotted Michelle was when
she was credited as Michelle
McLellan in Hollywood
Chainsaw Hookers. I
rented it because Leatherface
starred in it and hoped for it to
be as intense as Texas
Chainsaw Massacre but
was I ever wrong. It was a goofy
tongue in cheek horror flick but
Michelle was very menacing with
her chainsaw hacking up her
client since she played a
chainsaw prostitute named
Mercedes.
Most
of the films I rented with her
she usually starred with her
scream queen friend Linnea
Quigley. The two of them seemed
to work well together
nevertheless even if most of the
films were terrible and badly
acted and directed.
Michelle
Medvitz was born on October 1,
1958 in Montebello, California.
Her father is Czechoslovakian and
her mother is Mexican.
In
1977 she was married for only a
year to Ken Bauer. Then she took
up modelling in Xrated magazines
and in 1981 she was nominated as
Penthouse Pet of the Month on
July of 1981. During that same
year she worked in soft core pornography
crediting herself as Pia Snow.
However, she quickly left the
business to try and pursue work
in legit films and was
luckily enough not to be
categorised as a porn star unlike
Julia Parton, Traci Lords and Ginger Lynn
Allen.
However,
cause she did work in the porn
industry Michelle was often
typecast in direct-to-video
exploitation films and often
doing full frontal nudity for a
while.
Michelle
appeared in a horror documentary
with horror icon Cameron Mitchell
titled Terror on Tape
in 1985 which helped her a bit to
work in the horror film industry
as she played a lustful type
character in the film.
Michelle
also had minor roles in films
like The Man Who Wasn't
There, Monaco
Forever, Roller
Blade, Cavegirl,
Tomboy, Screen
Test and Reform
School Girls.
Michelle
then got her break in 1986 by
winning a lead role in Fred Olen
Ray's flick The Tomb
playing an evil vampiress type of
Egyptian named Nefratis. Her
voice acting was overdubbed as
well as the film being badly
acted and plotted but she
received alot of exposure and a
magazine rated it as the most
rented direct-to-video flick.
Also,
Michelle remarried to someone
named Don McClellan as she used
that last name for a while for
her future film work. They both
shared 1 child named Whitney born
in 1988.
Still
Michelle still pursued her
filmwork by appearing in more of
Olen Ray's horror and non-horror
films. She then auditioned for
director David DeCoteau who was
known for his cheesy horror
monster flick Creepozoids
which successfully had a small
theatrical release in the fall of
1987. DeCoteau cast her in his
spoof called the Nightmare
Sisters which went
dirtect-to-video of that same
year but was only paid a salary
of 400 dollars. However, Michelle
got to work with Linnea Quigley
and Brinke Stevens in the film as
they were both top low budget
scream queens and soon Michelle
would be on the same scream queen
bill with them too.
All
of them worked with DeCoteau
again in the horror parody titled
Sorority Babes in the
Slimeball Bowl O Rama
which she played a sorority
pledge named Lisa. Although most
critics bombed it many fans that
enjoyed trashy horror flicks
adored it and the film did
receive a limited theatrical
release which Michelle had a
chance for viewers in selected
areas to see her play a main role
on the big screen.
Then
she worked again with Fred Olen
Ray as he also cast Linnea for
the first time in a slasher flick
titled Hollywood Chainsaw
Hookers. This made
Michelle a top scream queen as
she plays a menacing chainsaw
prostitute named Mercedes who
hacks up her clients with a
chainsaw and the film became a
cult favourite to Fred Olen Ray
fans.
Michelle
worked steadily with David
DeCoteau and Fred Olen Ray for
their projects like Spirits,
Puppet Master III:
Toulon's Revenge and Blonde
Heaven.
She
also worked in other horror films
such as Bloody Movie (Which was shelved for many years till it saw the light of day on DVD), Demonwarp and The Dwelling.
With
all this to her credit she
appeared in three horror
documentaries in the early 90's
that focused on her horror films
titled Scream Queen Hot
Tub Party (Hosted by
Brinke Stevens), Invasion
of the Scream Queens and
Chiller Theatre Expo Video Volume
1.
However,
during that same year her
marriage to Don McClellan
dissolved but her career in
exploited horror films still
shined on.
In
the late 90's Michelle travelled
to Spain to star in the horror
film Lust
for Frankenstein. Then
during 2004 she appeared
in one last Fred Olen Ray flick
titled Tomb of the
Werewolf as well as in 2008 Gingerdead Man 2: Passion of the Crust. During these time periods she
announced that she has retired
from acting but that has changed since then as she is still pounding away working steadily in films for David DeCoteau and so fourth.
Terror
on Tape 1985.
This was a documentary on close
to obscure terrible horror films
showing clips on 'Blood
Feast', '2000
Maniacs', 'Blood
Tide', 'Vampire
Hookers', 'Return
of the Aliens Deadly Spawn',
'City of the Walking Dead'
and many more dull, poorly made
and gross out flicks as the
documentary sets in a video store
on Halloween as the people
involved play characters in it.
Horror film veteran Cameron
Mitchell hosts the show as he
plays a video store clerk and
when a customer comes in they ask
him what a good movie to watch
and he introduces them .
Michelle
Bauer plays the last customer
walking into a video store
playing a seductive goddess type
in a cape and satin clothing. She
is unsatified with horror films
out there and asks the clerk if
he has a movie in his store that
will thrill and scare her so he
shows her many clips of other
gross out movies that we
unfortunately are tortured to
watch as well.
The scenes with
Cameron Mitchell and the others
at the store is entertaining to
watch but the clips of those
nearly obsucre horror films are
just plain stupid and pointless
and I was surprised to find out
how old these films were which I
couldn't understand that they
were actually released.
Although
I never found Michelle a true
talent I did enjoy her
performance in this one as it
seemed to really suits the
quality of the film itself. This
would help boost her career as a
scream queen in the low budget
film industry with flicks mainly
directed by Fred Olen Ray and
David DeCoteau.
Roller
Blade 1985.
One of Michelle's first b-films
films after leaving the porn
industry. Her role is small with
just one scene in it and she is
full nude in roller skates as she
is apparently a new creation for
a warrior.
When UI watched the
first bit of the opening I knew I
was in for a made for video Z
grade awful film and boy was I
ever right. I nearly threw up
watching it.
Awful comedy ripoff
of other futuristic sci-fi type
flicks of good and bad battling
in roller blades. Good thing that
Michelle wasn't well remembered
for this one else she would've
remained a vuirtual unknown like
the rest of the cast from this
movie.
Screen
Test 1985.
Michelle was only in three small
scenes throughout the film and
nude in all but one. First she's
a stripper at a bar, then one
person fantasises her being in
bed with him and then at the end
she's a ninja.
Of course the plot
is all about a bunch of sex
crazed guys posing as
pornographers getting women to
undress for them at an audition
claiming that they work in the
porn film induiustry and all this
leads them into all sorts of
trouble with mobsters etc.
Although this direct-to-video
comedy was a bad film with
virtual unknowns but however, I quite got a
kick out if it.
Reform
School Girls 1986. I
loved this film as it is totally
80's with cheese. The film was a
parody of girls prisons.
Michelle
Bauer is uncredited in this one
as she was just an extra but she
is well noticed in a shower
scene. The camera pans right on
her taking a shower so if you
blink once you won't miss her.
I
enjoyed the performances of
former Andy Warhol film star Pat
Ast as the evil jail matron Edna
(Which her role is similar to her
role as the nasty school teacher
in Motley Crue's video
"Smoking in the Boys
Room."
I also enjoyed former
Plamastics punk rocker Wendy O
Williams role as Charlie who also
performed her music in the film.
Both of these people are no
longer with us sadly.
The
Tomb 1986.
This was Michelle's
first lead in a real horror film.
She then became a favourite to
director Fred Olen Ray for his
other projects. The film gave
Michelle alot of exposure but her
voice was overdubbed which made
her acting look bad along with
the rest of the cast.
Michelle
played a succubus immortal
Egyptian princess named Nefratis
whom is awakened and realises
that her tomb was stolen and
casts evil spells on people that
sold her belongings to
archeologists using one person to
help her with her evil deeds down
in the States.
Although this film
had alot of nudity in it, Michelle doesn't
perform nude in it but has a see
through blouse.
I enjoyed the
cheesy 80's soundtrack in this
one and apparently it was
considered to be the most watched
direct-to-video flick.
Night of the Living Babes 1987. She plays another lead role in this one hour made for video dud in which the budget looks as low as a porn flick. I was hoping for a comedy-horror in this one but it's a plain comedy which was a disappointment.
The story centers around two married men as one of them is a sex crazed one who doesn't get it on with his wife which is played by Bauer so he takes the other huisband who doesn't want to go with him to a whorehouse which is a zombie palace of lustful babes whom are supposed to be beautiful looking zombies but I don't see the catch in the zombies at all and even in the end that isn't revealed.
These two men end up being kidnapped and chained up wearing tutu's as well that they are about to have a sex change but first watch a beautiful stripper and stuff like that to fill in the time.
Nothing horrifying here except with one of the wives in a trance trying to attack her husband with clippers but that moment doesn't last long and not enough to be horrifying.
The acting is bloody terrible as Michelle really bombs in her performance as she portrays someone bitchy and upset about stuff and can't be convincing with her emotional behavior either. Although the film offered plenty of breasts Michelle is seen in one scene chained up topless but that's it.
There's the odd fun touches but it sinks with alot of the hokey dialogue and the skin that's revealed to cover the plot which sinks a great deal.
Nightmare
Sisters 1988. Another director who
used Michelle in many of his
other films named David DeCoteau.
Michelle didn't get a great
salary for this one but she
didn't do too bad and presented
herself well in it.
This one was
a spoof on those exploited scream
queen exorcist type flicks. Not
at all a horror just a plain dark
comedy. Also Michelle got to work
with two other scream queens
which later she would be reigned
in the same vein as them named
Linnea Quigley and Brinke
Stevens.
Good make up effects
were used on all three of them as
they were playing sorority nerds
and they all looked totally
different. Michelle's character
was overweight. Then they summon
up a spirit and the spirit turns
them into beautiful but deadly
lustful babes.
I laughed my ass
off watching this on New Years
Eve 1998. Especially the scenes
where the three of them all take
a bath together.
I will also
remember Michelle dressed up as
Jane from Tarzan trying to seduce
a college bully and then killing
him.
Sorority
Babes in the Slimeball
Bowl-O-Rama 1988.
By the same makers of 'Nightmare
Sisters' comes this
flick so again Michelle is
working with DeCoteau and I
believe she got a bigger salary
and again worked with Brinke and
Linnea. But this time Michelle
plays a sorority pledge with
Brinke.
The film was still in
post-production when 'Nightmare
Sisters' came out. Yes
this too was a spoof on horror
flicks but was also categorised
as a horror film.
Well, Michelle
and Brinke's characters are
whacked in the butt by a paddle
and then are sprayed by whipped
cream by three sorority sisters.
Then Michelle and Brinke shower
it off but have to do one last
thing before joining the sorority
which is to steal a bowling
trophy at a bowling centre in a
mall.
They're there with some
frat nerds and accidentally
release a demonic Imp while
stealing the trophy. The Imp
grants them wishes each and one
of them has a crush on Michelle's
character so Michelle tries to
seduce him in a changing room.
But everyone else realises that
their wishes are only to be fake
and possesses the sorority
sisters to kill the nerds and the
pledges.
Linnea is there robbing
the place but turns out to be a
hero in the end with the head
nerd Calvin (Andras Jones).
According to DeCoteau this film
cost $250,000 to make and it
received a limited theatrical
release so viewewrs in certain
countries got to see Michelle on
the big screen.
I had fun
watching it but I admit it was
non scary and was a golden
turkey.
Demonwarp 1988. This was
one of my favourite horror films
with Michelle in it. For some
reason she wasn't credited in the
opening credits as she had a very
good supporting role in it for about 20 minutes or so.
The
film was about an alien monster
who lands on Earth and kidnaps
people and then turns most of
them into zombies.
Michelle plays
a victim this time named Betsy as
she goes out sanbathing with her
friend topless out in a forest.
She then encounters her friend
being slaughtered by the monster
and she certainly does use her
lung power in this one. She runs
away topless and some people that
are trying to hunt this monster
down cause it took one of their
friends tries to help Betsy. But
before it's too late Betsy is
kidnapped by the monster and her
heart is torn out.
Michelle
must've felt a little embarrassed
while watching the film of her
running away topless but again
she has done this so many times.
Good effects in this one and it
had a couple of familiar faces
like George Kennedy. She is also
featured on the video box cover.
Hollywood
Chainsaw Hookers
1988. I read in the
video Movie Guide that
Leatherface was also in this one
I was excited about it hoping it
was frightening too. But then I
rented it and found it so lame.
However, this was the first movie
I saw Michelle in and then I
found out that this was the one
that made her a scream queen.
Michelle played a chainsaw
prostitute named Mercedes and I
must admit during her first scene
that she was quite menacing with
her chainsaw and hacking up her
client.
Mercedes was a beautiful
but dangerous and evil woman.
Their pimp was played by
Leatherface (Gunnar Hansen of
course) and it also starred again
with her scream queen friend
Linnea Quigley as a runaway
helping a detective
played by b-film scream king Jay
Richardson out by tracking all
the chainsaw prostitutes down at
their cult ceremony.
Linnea
disguises herself as a chainsaw
prostitute and has a chainsaw
battle with Michelle. Michelle
and Linnea had to train
themselves when they performed a
chainsaw dance at the cult
ceremony which was very dangerous
as they did their own stunts.
This one was a favourite to Fred
Olen Ray fans.
Death
Row Diner 1988. God was this one was terrible. I
had to crank up the volume on my
TV to hear this shot on video
trash. It was lower than a
Z-grade flick.
Michelle plays the
wife named Julia Wilcox-Weston of
an obnoxious B-filmmaker named
Bill Weston (Played by Jay
Richardson) who makes a film of
Julia's uncle who was once a mass
murderer that was sentenced to
death.
The ghost of her uncle
ends up slaughtering the cast
& crew members. This one is a comedy-horror with close to 'Toxic
Avenger' type humour.
Michelle's starring film 'Hollywood
Chainsaw Hookers' was mentioned a couple
times in the film.
Wild Man 1989. Michelle was the lead actress in this flick as a news reporter named Trisha Collins who helps an ex-commando named Eric Wilde (Played by Don Scribner) track down a psychotic drug dealer in which she doesn't start at the beginning of the film but later on questions him as he tries to brush her off abut appears later on to do more work.
There's a scene where she thinks he's dead and has to do a news reort and gets emotional and she isn't too bad by doing this. Her other performances as usual is not too much into character but that's Michelle for ya. However she brings out a nice charming attitude into her role as someone whom is outgoing and flirtatious too.
There's a long workout scene that she does with porn queen Ginger Lynn Allen who plays Dawn Hall having a long discussion on the criminal situations as the camera focuses alot on their workout which is supposed to have the male fans turned on by all of this. Also it looked like they had a dispute before the camera's were rolling which looked like they had no choice but to have their dialogues together here.
You kinda wonder as to when Michelle will take off her clothes in which she normally does in a film like this since this one is an exploited flick but eventually we do spot a slow close up shot lusting against Wilde's character rolling down on her revealing her breasts and crotch. The sex scene is very long like you were nearly watching a soft core porn flick.
She then gets into the action while trying to save the day with him especially when his younger brother is kidnapped by these thugs as it was fun watching her get into this.
However at the same time this is a real bad made-for-video action flick that rips off those other types like 'Shaft' but with a white cast or even 'Miami Vice' with lots of bad acting, the writing is amateurish plus the special effects were terribly done as you can obviously tell it was made on a bad computer like someone crashing out of a window or a building exploding.
Beverly
Hills Vamp 1989.
A silly Fred Olen Ray flick which is a spoof on all of his
horror films. We have Jay
Richardson playing a detective
who tries to slay some vampires
and we got the nerd Eddie Deezen
as his sidekick.
Michelle Bauer
plays a lusty vampiress hooker
named Kristina whom is one of the main vampiress' in the film.
She has a good soothing lustful voice and a nice tempting charm to her clients in which she often does this in other flick as well she is fully nude from behind while drinking blood from her victims.
The film is pretty bad with bad acting and plenty of skin it's a comedy with vampires in iy. Yet it's not the least bit funny. The only plot worth watching is when the killing spree on the vampiress at the whorehouse gets slayed one by one with cheesy special effects when these hookers die.
The
Jigsaw Murders 1989. I saw this thriller listed on the
imdb.com and saw that Michelle
had a part in it with Brinke
Stevens. I rented it at a video
store. It was bigger than a
z-grade film but the story stunk!
Michelle didn't really have a
part in it. Her character was a
missing person who was killed and
the killer turns on his projector
and watches pornographic pictures
of her. That is her scene!
Nothing more I have to say about
this film but to avoid it!
Deadly
Embrace 1989.
A terrible soft core porn dud
with a touch of daytime soap as
Michelle has a supporting role
playing a female spirit of sex.
What kind of a role is it? Well
I'll tell you the story.
A
college student named Chris
Thompson (Played by Ken Abraham)
who helps a lady named Charlotte
(Played by sex pot Ty Randolph)
out with her house while her
husband Stewart (Played by b-film
legend Jan Michael Vincent) is
busy at work but wants to get rid
of his wife for good.
Well Chris
and Charlotte fool around with
one another and then Chris'
girlfriend visits and fornicates
with him while staying there.
Charlotte video tapes them having
sex.
How Michelle was
involved is??? While Chris was
trying to sleep, he sexually
fantasises his girlfriend naked
(PLayed by Linnea Quigley) as
well as fantasising Michelle's
character as she performs nude as
well.
Most of the plot in this
film is the sex scenes and the
nudity. David DeCoteau credited
himself as Ellen Cabot for this
one.
Assault
of the Party Nerds 1989.
A sleazy crappy film produced,
written, directed and starring
Richard Gabai. Michelle plays a
sleazy popular bimbo named Muffin
along with her friend Linnea
Quigley who plays Bambi. They
fool around with their stuck up
college boyfriends (The camera
really pans in on Michelle's
breasts) until they catch them
fooling around together.
Then
they help out some college nerds
throw a wild party. This film was
badly dubbed along with the
acting, directing and the
storyline.
Gabai tried to clone 'Revenge
of the Nerds' but in a
terrible exploited and sleazy
way. Believe it or not a sequel
came out and both Michelle and
Linnea both reprised their roles
and the same with Gabai. Both of
them a direct-to-video releases.
American Rampage 1989. There's some David DeCoteau type of flicks that were avoidable made on a really bad made-for-video budget but this one was so bad it's good. Not the most serious action flick but campy fun if you're in the mood for it as there's alot of violent gun fighting with criminals and mobsters galore about a female Los Angeles cop relentlessly tries to bring down a powerful drug cartel kingpin, and losing police partner after partner in the process amid the frequent shootouts and her social life, or lack of.
The film had some decent acting surprisingly as well as the odd romantic moments dealing with the two detectives involved as well as tons of focused nudity.
Michelle only has a bit part in the film as a pool girl sunbathing topless at a mobsters swimming pool area as she was close to being considered a background performer in which she's seen at first a bit away from another pool girl with a prime focus on sunscreen being rubbed on her breasts and then in another scene there's a close up shot on Michelle herself doing this but not as long spotting this. While theses moments happen a head mafia leader is having a discussion by doing dirty business with his men and then pointing a gun to shoot one of his women showing an example on what will happen if he's crossed. Pretty intense.
Michelle was credited in this film as with what she had could've been uncredited. Yet she worked steadily with this director.
The film budget was fairly okay for a low budgeter and kind of a grindhouse look.
It also said that it starred already washed up heartthrob Troy Donahue but he only has a supporting role in it since most of these actors remained as virutal unknowns and were trying to market this obscure flick.
Still I found this movie to be trashily entertaining and low budget cheesy action fans might find this film amusing.
Dr.
Alien 1989.
Michelle only had a cameo in this
film playing a Coed student. In
her first scene she is doing
excersises with her class. Then
she spots a nerd named Wesley in
the chaniging room played by
Billy Jacoby who has a hard time
getting a girl to go out with him
and a substitute teacher who is
an alien played by cult icon Judy
Landers that gives him a tracking
device on his head that makes
girls sexually aroused towards
him.
Wesley has a some sort of
beam on the top of his head and
when Michelle spots it she gets
sexually aroused along with
another Co-ed played by Karen
Russell. They take their tops off
and tries to jump his bones.
Although this was noted to be a
bad film and never made
it to theatre's I liked this film
the best out of all of David
DeCoteau's flicks.
There's also a
scene where there is Jacoby and
his film family having breakfast
and there's a cereal box of 'Creepozoids'
plus some of the family's members
watching the movie on TV. Plus
Jacoby's younger brother Bobby
plays his younger brother in the
film as well.
Spirits 1990. My
favourite Michelle Bauer horror
film as well as my favourite Fred
Olen Ray film. Brinke Stevens was
the main star in the film along
with Carol Lynley and former 'Chips' TV hearthrob Erik Estrada.
Michelle has a
5 minute supporting role in the
film as a spirit of a lustful but
evil Nun named Sister Mary. She
tries to seduce Erik Estrada's character Father Anthony Vicci and is
full nude. She is only in that
scene but it's a good scene.
This
is Fred Olen Ray's best effort no
doubt about it and I also found
it to be one of Brinke's and
Michelle's best performances
about a priest and ESP experts
investigating a haunted house.
Michelle was surprisingly
uncredited in this one as the
producers probably forgot to
credit her but she was credited on the video box cover of this
movie. The flick was very much like a cheesy version on the 'Amityville' film series.
Camp Fear 1991. Michelle has a small role in the film as a dorm girl but yet she seems to do alot in the first bit of the film as she gets everyone up in the sorority to start their morning and preparing breakfast also she takes off her clothes to have a shower fully nude as usual plus some other dorm students do too. Her acting in this is medicre like always and she tries to be funny with her lines but that seems to fall flat. The beginning here almost looks as cheesy as watching something like you'd see in 'Slumber Party Massacre' or 'Sorority House Massacre' with the women undressing and their interactions towards one another.
Afterwards the film takes off and Michelle is not seen again since the more popular sorority students travel up to the mountain and leaving the rest behind for a vacation camping out in the woods as they run into all sorts of trouble with bikers as well as a crazy drunk warning them about demons in the woods.
The group runs into an evil druid as he kidnaps some of the women and plans to use one for a vigrin sacrifice to save the millenium from an apocalypse and some of the surviving students and bikers help each other out to try and rescue the rest as they also run into a monster in the lake which at times seems cheesy but fun to watch.
This one is a film so bad it's enjoyable as originally it was going to be a sequel to 'Cheerleader Camp' but thankfully the makers changed their minds on that since it was better off left buried and forgotten. This one was 10 times better. Not even close to being a slasher film but a sci-fi/horror type of elements dealing with what we may predict an alien and his evil intentions on human beings in his hideout cave in the great outdoors
Virgin
High 1991. By
the same makers as 'Assault
of the Party Nerds' but
nowhere near as bad but still
pretty bad nonetheless.
A girl
gets in trouble with her parents
for allegedly fooling around with
her boyfriend, and they send her
to a catholic girls' high school.
Michelle Bauer plays a school
teacher named Miss Bush but I
don't remember her role in it but
it wasn't one of the lead roles.
Cast also features Burt Ward who
was famous for his role Robin in
the 60's cult TV series spoof 'Batman'.
There's also a scene where
there's a movie poster of 'Assault
of the Party Nerds'
hanging on a wall.
Puppet
Master III: Toulon's Revenge
1991. David DeCoteau took the
bull by the horns on directing
this one and it's the best out of
all the films.
He had many
familiar faces in it like Richard
Lynch, Ian Abercrombie, Walter
Gottel and Sarah Douglas.
Michelle only had a 2 scene special appearance
in this one as a prostitute name
Lili.
She is topless with some
other women in her first scene by
giving Walter Gottell's character
a bath. Then her next scene she
fornicates with him. It was a
well remembered scene but unlike
most of DeCoteau's films this was
not noted to be an exploited film
by any means.
This was his best
effort at directing a film. Of
course the Puppet Master is a man
named Andre Toulon who creates
these living puppets to kill his
enemies.
This film was a prequel
to how he created these puppets
and was a good guy in it before
he turned evil in the first flick
taking place during WWII.
The
music is excellent in it and it
was used in almost all of the Puppet
Master films.
Scream Queen Hot Tub Party 1991. Michelle Bauer is featured in this documentary on the scream queens during this time period discussing their cult horror film roles but yet are also getting into character while going in a hot tub in a creepy mansion.
All of them take off their clothes and dress into their swimsuits but take that off too when they decide to soap themselves up. It's awfully trashy what we see here offering lots of skin to get a sexual rouse out of the viewers watching.
The documentary is hosted by Brinke Stevens as she introduces clips of the film Michelle was mostly noted to being in called 'Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers' as well as Michelle deciding to do a chainsaw type of performing acting sexual with it between her legs along with taking her top off showing on how a scream queen killer does it before doing her victims in..
This flick could be alot of fun to watch and it seemed very necessary to have her in this one since she was working steadily in cheesy low budget horror flicks at least having a few under her belt.
Michelle looked sharp while participating wearing a skanky outfit during the beginning of her appearance that will grab any horror fans attention with lots of skin too. Hopefully she doesn't dress like that in public but you will see what I mean when you watch this documentary.
Evil Toons 1992. Well this flick was a bit complicated as you wonder if it's a plain dark comedy or a comedy horror as the beginning seems to show similar situations like you'd spot in 'Sorority House Massacre 2: Nighty Nightmare' with some lustful girls going to their sorority home and knowing about a story that unravelled there with killings. Then we spot one of them stripping down and goofing off while showing their boobs which seems to be the drawing card in this tale along with getting a book and then summoning up an evil cartoon type wolf that possesses one of the girls to seduce, strip and kill the rest.
It's an off the wall comedy horror flick but with all the sleaziness and goofiness as well as animated monsters killing the sorority sisters. It's basically a film in the same vein as 'Nightmare Sisters' but not just a plain comedy and blending horror in this one too. Plus we see the book that seems to spoof off the 'Evil Dead' flicks.
The acting is so terrible but the actresses worked in the porn industry
which really shows off here big time.
How does Michelle come into this picture??? Well she only has a cameo in it playing the wife of the headmaster of the sorority named Mrs. Burt. The headmaster is played by the screen legend Dick Miller in which she is wearing a lingerae and it's a Friday night as she wants to fool around with him only to be heading out to check on the sorority sisters. She pulls down her top to expose her breasts as she often does in films. She sounds lusty as usual and over the top. But that's the only appearance she has in the flick.
It's yet another cheesy Fred Olen Ray flick but yet some of it is pretty funny when we reveal the cartoon wolf. This should please his fans too.
Hellroller 1992. Man oh man how terrible can a film get than this??? It was shot on a horrible video camcroder plus some of the faces on the cast members were way too dark to see. I am convinced that no one got paid doing this flick as well you can tell it wasn't a closed set either and were doing it whenever they can.
This was a comedy-horror flick as clever as a Troma Team flick on a guy in a wheelchair named Eugene (Played by Ron Litman) frusterated with life as a bum so he decides to go on a killing spree slaying off immoral people in which his killings were not at all convinced and Michelle comes in the scene for only 5 minutes portraying a model that Eugene doesn't like planning to go to her hotel in which she takes off her clothes wearing a lingerae doing some aerobics which seems to be the only thing worth watching in this film.
Then she is barebreasted taking a bath as well later on taunted by Eugene and his dorky sidekick Donald (Played by Gary G. Levison) in which supposedly she kills Donald and then Eugene comes after her but she really lacks with her screaming lung power as well as trying to get away. Her ending results is having her insides ripped open in a hotel bathroom.
If this sounds as bad as explained it just is. Barely made it to rental stores.
Demented 1994. Another awful shot on video
flick. Michelle's character is a
sleazy one who has an affair with
a doctor at a hospital there. She
fornicates with him and then
tells him she is pregnant.
Then
she talks to the man's wife
(Played by Angela Bowie) about an
abortion and other stuff to
discuss with the affair.
Meanwhile, in a
seemingly peaceful boarding house
on a quiet suburban street, an
unspeakable horror stalks the
innocent residents and sends them
to their graves carrying its
blood-thirsty secret.
The doctor
goes to this boarding house and
realises that he has to make a
deadly decision.
Based in part
(reputedly) on a true story but I
think we all know better after
seeing this totally make believe
gory flick. I saw this a long time ago and can't find it anywhere to review for my movie site. Sorry folks.
Witch Academy 1995. Michelle plays one of the lead roles in this god awful comedy which I thought would be a fun one like say 'Vice Academy' but that had a bit of a storyline as this barely carried one and offers plenty of skin. It shows snobby frat sisters as Michelle plays the role of Tara as her first appearance she is topless and changes into something.
Some topless fun time with these frat sisters we spot in alot of the scene's which looked lame and they also pick on a nerdy frat sister Leslie (Played by Veronica Carothers) as well as humiliate her as well as getting her to do some stupid stuff in order to join their fraternity and then finally being rejected.
She makes a deal with the Devil (Played by Robert Vaughan) to turn herself lustful as there's interesting special effects covering this and the people that made this actress look nerdy to lustful did a decent job by making her look different.
In the story she turns into a monster and kills some people but I will tell you that this is not a horror at all just the mild elements.
Michelle tries to play a nasty one but yet doesn't seem to pull it off convincingly but in this movie there's a good message telling people they don't have to try and prove to people that they're worth fitting in. So I will give this flick a nice pointer for that.
Also we hear music composed by Chuck Cirino as he used some of the same elements that he did in 'Sorority House Massacre 2: Nighty Nightmare'.
Vampire
Vixens from Venus 1995.
My god, another
extremely terrible made for video
flick. I read in the movie guide
that this was a lame horror-sex
comedy plus it was rated a
turkey. Well this is a turkey and
it was lame but this was not at
all a horror film just a dumb
comedy.
A story of three
Venusians landing on Earth and
transforming themselves into sexy
and sleazy women in order to suck
the life out of unsuspecting
males.
Michelle Bauer had a
supporting role named Shampay who
has a romance with the lead actor
Leon Head who plays a detective
named Oakenshield who bumbles his
way into the investigation of the
dessicated bodies in order to
impress her and his new partner
Jack.
The effects are terrible
along with a terrible flick. Lots
of skin but that's all.
Red
Lips 1995.
I rented this one along
with Demented.
These two were at a place titled
Tom's Video in the R Rated
section (Yes folks another film I saw a long time ago I also can't find to refresh my memory to review it on the movie reviews).
Let me tell you the
budget doesn't get any worst in
this one which is a toss up between this and 'Hellroller'. It was shot on a
camcorder with no boom mic or
anything. It was made on the same
budget as a home video camera.
I'm not kidding. I wasted my
money on renting it as the R
Rated video's are more expensive.
Death Row Diner
was in that category too. My
guess is not too many people
rented these so they put it in
that section.
Michelle's
character in this one is a
lesbian named Lisa who breaks up
with her overweight lover and
then meets up with a vampiress
named Caroline who escaped from a
science lab.
Caroline looks like
she hasn't eaten in weeks and
Lisa takes her to a food court.
Later on they fall in love and
Lisa discovers Caroline's dark
secret. Lisa tries to protect her
still.
Michelle did quite well
for what this was made on and the
filmmakers or I should say
camcordermakers should be
greatful they found her and she
would accept the part in this
film but I highly doubt that she
got paid much if she ever got
paid at all to do this.
I am even
surprised that this was available
to rent which is a waste of
money. C'mon Michelle you can do
better than this.
Bikini
Drive In 1995. I
bought this comedy at an Army
& Navy Thrift Store for 6.99
on DVD since I knew Michelle had
a part in it and it looked like a
mvoie by it's title that' it's so
bad it's good and I'm right. It's
very enjoyable for a made for
video release by Fred Olen Ray.
The story centers around a young
beautiful woman named Kim Taylor
(Ashley Rhey) who sunbathes with
her friend topless until a
attorney approaches her and tells
her that she has inherited her
dead grandfathers drive in
theatre.
However, a greedy
businessman named J.B. Winston
(David F. Friedman) wants to tear
it down and build a shopping
mall. Not only that, Kim needs to
raise $25,000 over one weekend or
the bank will take the property
from her. J.B.'s son named Brian
(Richard Gabai) falls
romantically in love with Kim so
he tries to help her raise the
money she owes to keep the
theatre alive.
They look at old
movies and one of them is 'Hollywood
Chainsaw Hookers' (A
cult fave to horror fans of
Bauer's and made by Fred Olen Ray
too). They aren't too successful
at raising money so this is where
Michelle Bauer steps in. She
plays a famous scream queen named
Dyanne Lynn and Brian calls her
up to ask her to come and support
it since they will be showing her
movie Sorority Sister
Slaughterhouse (Probably a joke
to her role as Babs in 'Sorority
Babes in the Slimeball
Bowl-O-Rama').
They tell
her the president will be there
in order for her to come down and
she accepts. During this time she
takes her top off and swims in
her pool at her mansion and then
gets a rubdown by her servant.
She sounds very lustful with her
words. Then their drive in is
packed with people and Bauer is
in her limo waiting for the
president to arrive.
She then is
robbed by a thief in her limo and
then is tied up and locked in the
back trunk of her limo. After the
drive in is kept alive an d Bauer
is rescued at the end of the
film.
Also, playing on the screen
when she is in her limo looks
like the film she had a good
supporting role in titled 'Attack
of the 60 Foot Centerfold'
cause I am sure Michelle was on
that screen although I haven't
seen the film but it was a Fred
Olen Ray flick.
This film had
gratitious nudity and tons of sex
scenes that it can easily be
called a blue movie with fun and
a cheesy storyline and a neat
cheesy soundtrack too.
If you
enjoy 'Fast Food'
but with plenty of nudity you'll
enjoy this one. Michelle had an
effective supporting role in this
film and it was enjoyable too.
Plus we have a nice performance
by Conrad Brooks too.
This is my
second favourite Fred Olen Ray
flick along with
'Spirits' which Bauer
had an uncrediterd special
appearance in with Erik Estrada.
Blonde Heaven 1996. Man oh man a terribly exploited erotic bisexual vampire flick by David DeCoteau who credits himself as Ellen Cabot as when he credits himself by that name there's usually more nudity than in most of his flicks and a really bad plotline too.
Well the story centers a group of vampires running a modelling/escort agency in Los Angeles as a couple from Oklahoma starts to reside there in which the girlfriend Angie (Raelyn Saalman) wants to get into the acting business and is lured in by these agents as the head vampiress Illyana (Julie Strain) has a huge interest in her and Angie becomes one of them as her boyfriend Kyle (Alton Butler) tries to rescue her with the aid of a vampire slayer named Pluto (Jason Clow).
Michelle's name was in the opening credits as one of the co-stars as I waited and waited and still no sign of her till nearing the end of the movie when she gets vicious and lustful towards Pluto when he tries to defend himself in a corny way which isn't funny at all like it was making itself out to be. It didn't fit into the story at all although it was a real bad one to start off with.
Her character Amanda Blackwell happens to be the real leader of the coven of vampires there so it's an effective role revealing a deep dark secret and her next scene is a long lustful scene with this dude as she is fully naked and getting it doggy style by him as well before she turns him into a vampire as well biting his neck.
Most of the scene's in the film had these sex scene's bearing a little plot which was mainly weak too. Very much like watching an erotic soft core porn dud.
Her character appears at the end of the film revealing two new vampires on the heroic character's becoming one of them so again her role became a nice surprise into this bad story.
A film that offers mostly skin and to get aroused but that's about it here folks.
Lust
for Frankenstein 1998.
Michelle travelled to
Spain to star in this sleazy
lesbian female version of Mary
Shelley's classic. Michelle is
pure naked all the way through
the film as the Goddess, a
creation by a lesbian who is
confused by her sexuality named
Moira Frankenstein (Lina Romay)
and is haunted by a macabre ghost
of her long dead father (Carlos
Subterfuge) who is an infamous
reanimator which he
instructed Moira to resuscitate
his immortal female creation with
hopes of clearing the
Frankenstein name.
The
Goddess is always sexually active
and will stop at nothing to be
Moira's mistress even if it means
killing the people that Moira
sleeps with.
Michelle also has
her voice overdubbed making it
sound robotic like. This indie
was made on a film budget but the
plot mostly focuses on the full
frontal nudity and the sex scenes
before the murders happen and is
definetely a blue film.
It was
almost taken in the same
direction like many of Andy
Warhol's films such as 'Frankenstein'
and 'Dracula'.
Mari Cookie and the Killer Tarantula in 8 Legs to Love You 1998.The same makers as 'Lust for Frankenstein' made this which is more sleazoid trash and although the title and plot suggests that it's a horror it really isn't but has some horror elements to the plot only to fool you that it's a plain sleazy comedy porn dud.
Michelle here has one of the lead roles as Sheriff Marga wearing very sleazy outfits which wouldn't be suitable to wear in public places. She takes it off alot as well as showing many scene's on her getting aroused or fornicating with another woman.
Her job is to find two missing people which are nude in a web by a woman who turns into a tarantula (With a cartoonish type of face on the woman as the spider) and gets into a lusting frenzy with them as there's a male and a female. Mostly the female is being seduced though as the male often sings operetic songs.
Michelle as usual is over the top especially when she gets aggressive or dominant in many scene's with her lustful behavior. I found her to be a bit annoying here.
The plot is whacked out of place having a hard time understanding it. Whoever wrote it must've been on serious drugs though.
Her scream queen friend Linnea Quigley had a good supporting role in it as the two of them should be ashamed for participating in this trash. The quality of the picture looked pretty good but that's about it and very hard to find on DVD nowadays which I can totally see why.
Tomb of the Werewolf 2004.
The story is about a man named Richard Daninsky (Played by Jay Richardson) the descendant of Waldemar Daninsky, inherits his own castle that may have some hidden treasures owned by his ancestors so he brings a crew to do a reality TV show to document his search for this treasure.
One of the guests happens to be an estranged family member who has some unfinished business to do and one of his assistants at his castle which also involved Michelle's character Elizabeth Bathory is behind some family history in which she gets him to remove a silver dagger from a chest of a corspe in coffin from the crypt of a castle and of course awakens this dead body who is a werewolf and goes on in a killing spree in the castle until one of the lead character's tries to find a way to put a stop to all of this before they are next.
Michelle's one of the leads this time in Fred Olen Ray's flick and in the beginning of her performance she is about to do a sacrifice to a female victim tied to a tree but opens her blouse to feel her breasts as there's suggested lesbian moments here. There's cheesy effects when she summons up the devil as it looks cheap for sure but fun to watch.
She smears blood over herself after doing a sacrifice and gets aroused by it.
Does a nice and mysterious approach to someone but then her discussion seems to fall flat after that. Yet does a good job cackling.
In a certain scene does well speaking sternly towards her co-star in a good cold manner and believeable demanding attitude.
There's a moment when she drinks someone's blood and really gets into this a good deal.
She was good acting wicked at times along with her cackling too.
It was neat watching a character not feeling well and turning into a werewolf even if it seemed quite typical and then we have more of the amaterusih computer animation when he becomes a full werewolf ready to leap out and attack as the make up effects on him as a werewolf looked like a typical costume. Yet this look seemed to pay a tribute to those old fashioned Lon Chaney 'Wolfman' classic film type of appearance and that's what I really like in a film.
It's a fun flick for sure if you're in the mood for it.
Bloody Movie 2004.
This film was originally titled 'Terror Night' and shot back in 1987 but shelved away till now. My guess was due to all the graphic gore and horror violence that was invovled as back then the film would qualify an X-rating. These days there's more of this kind of stuff.
Michelle plays a butchy type biker chick named Jo and is of course a little too over the top with her macho attitude especially whenever she acts hammered. Yet her appeal seems to work in well while we watch her perform in her supporting role here.
She is a victim in the film and not the horror character so it's nice to a see a change as she very rarely does this.
The story is about her and her boyfriend exploring a theatre estate that is about to be torn down and so they want to see it once again but rumored is the ghost of a disturbed film owner whom is killing people that trespass there one by one in which sorority teens land there too. But beforehand Jo is fornicating and partying out. Yes Michelle takes it all off exposing top to bottom which can please you fans who likes to see her with lots of skin.
She does well with her screaming in terror when she is about to be slayed.
The acting in this film is pretty rough and quite dated along with showing cameo's by people like Cameron Mitchell, Alan Hale Jr., Aldo Ray and Dan Haggerty Jr.
This slasher film yet can be a fun party flick and made on an okay low budget that could've earned a limited theatrical release if it came out at the right date it was completed. Plus we do see the corny moments like the great outdoors revealing the teens cautiously looking around but when the killer approaches it doesn't look suspenseful like it was intended. Also we spot flashes of pictures of the movie character's before this killer does someone in disguising himself as that role which looked confusing as to what is going on and a bit annoying at times too.
Trophy Heads 2014.
Michelle plays herself in this one as this is a tribute to low budget scream queens about an obsessed horror fan who kidnaps these scream queens and makes them reenact their famous film roles and then he decapitates them and uses their heads as trophies of his own.
Alot of the acting was fairly bad but she stood out okay in her role surprisingly as someone washed up working at a juice stand as you can see a theatrical poster of 'Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl O Rama' along with autographed pics she's selling as well on a table where she's selling her drinks.
She seems to do okay with her fearing and intense agressions while she's caged up till it's her turn to reenact her scene as she's attacked by bowling balls rolling towards her as this looked fun to watch as she is forced to reenact her scene from 'Sorority Babes'
The film is a bit silly but pays a tribute to b-film scream queens as she acted with her scream queen friends Linnea Quigley and Michelle Bauer since she's worked with these two many times along with other b-film actresses too. None of these scream queens performs any nudity which is a nice change.
It's a mediocre horror-comedy and a bit silly too but certainly pays a visit to when the VHS boom on cheesy low budget horror and sci fi flicks were popular to rent or own.
This can be a fun flick to watch if you're in the mood for it with a group of friends who enjoyed this type of genre which was done by Full Moon Pictures.
Sorority Babes in The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2022.
When I knew that she was going to reprise her role as Lisa I was thinking "How could she? She died in the original!!!". I will get to that in a sec.
First off the original was bad but entertaining. Yet this one is terrible and trashy. Plus everything was completely rushed. Not only that the film is only an hour long which I can see why it didn't concentrate on the situations more carefully. My guess is that Full Moon Pictures )Yes you heard right. They produced this flick) had a very tight budget for this one.
The tri delta sorority is back with new pledges as it seems like almost a remake from the original except in a terrible way. But the head sister tells them about what happened at the bowling alley decades ago and has to get the trophy from where the Imp came from and to bring is back to the sorority house.
I mean it's so stupid to go back there in the first place after as to what happened beforehand. Obviously the writer didn't know as to how else to make a sequel in any other form.
During a catfight with a couple of the pledges they knock over the trophy as the Imp is awakened. This is where Michelle comes in as it releases both her and her fellow actress Brinke Stevens as souls in which they discuss as to what is going to happen and corny situations like that.
Making this flick was a terrible waste of time and so far is Full Moon's worst flick to date.
