Added a new Convention appearance on October 3-5.
Brinke reports that her new eBay auctions will be delayed till October, due to a very busy summer schedule: three back-to-back movie shoots. She's currently in the Pittsburgh area, playing a demoness in "Demon Divas & the Lanes of Damnation". She's delighted to be working with pals Debbie Rochon, Lillith Stabs, Robyn Griggs, and Amy Lynn Best in this snappy horror-comedy.
Jonathan Mayberry's BAD MOON RISING, the third novel in the Pine Deep Trilogy (following the Bram Stoker Award-winning GHOST ROAD BLUES and DEAD MAN'S SONG) hit store shelves on May 8. According to the author, it includes a lot of cool guest stars: BRINKE STEVENS (hot scream queen), DEBBIE ROCHON (also a hot scream queen), TOM SAVINI (make-effects wizard), STEPHEN SUSCO (screenwriter for the Grudge flicks), JAMES GUNN (screenwriter of the new Dawn of the Dead), KEN FOREE (star of the original Dawn of the Dead), JIM O'REAR (stuntman and haunted attraction consultant), and JOE BOB BRIGGS (drive-in movie critic and actor). This time, they really get into the action! Added a new Convention appearance on July 25 & 26. Brinke's eBay auctions will resume in August 2008, with new photos, movie clothes, and memorabilia. Seller name: brinkestevens.
Brinke is deeply appreciative of all your heartfelt condolences for the death of her former husband, artist Dave Stevens. He passed away last month at age 52 after a long painful struggle with leukemia. Brinke and Dave first met when they were 19 years old at a comic book club in college. They were married at age 25, and Brinke modeled for much of Dave's "Bettie Page" artwork over a period of 12 years. Dave was her favorite pin-up artist, as well as her "childhood sweetheart" and her only husband in this lifetime. He will be greatly missed by all.
Brinke wishes you all a very happy, prosperous, and safe new year ahead. In 2007, she appeared in 8 films, including: "Blood Scarab" (playing an Egyptologist), "Psychosomatika" (as a psychologist), "Shy of Normal" (an author with writer's block), "Hunting Angels" (a nun slain by demons), and "Caesar & Otto's Summer Camp Massacre" (as a tough rock-n-roll chick). She attended six conventions as a guest. Mainly devoting the past year to her writing, Brinke sold one script ("Devil's Highway") and co-wrote two new ones, "Delusional" and "The House on Rachel Lane". She was featured in many magazine articles, such as "Heavy Metal" (31:2), "Sirens of Cinema" (2:2), and she also graced the cover of "Mondo Cult #2".
Brinke meets "The Tingler" on the cover of "Mondo Cult" magazine (Vol. 2), due out next month. She also has an extensive article with new photos inside. Other recent publications that feature interviews with Brinke are "Sirens of Cinema" ((Vol 2 No. 7) and "Heavy Metal" (May 2007). Brinke's had a busy summer so far, shooting three new films. In Don Glut's "Blood Scarab", she plays a beautiful Egyptologist and museum curator, whose ancient mummy goes missing. She portrays a nun -- and gets killed by a demon -- in Clive Cohen's "Hunting Angels". Teaming up again with actor-director Jeff Dylan Graham, Brinke is a psychotherapist trying to unlock a troubled young man's secrets in "Psychosomatika". Brinke and Jeff also star in the newly released "Dead Clowns" from Lions Gate.

Brinke will now be appearing at Chiller Theatre this October, from the 25th to the 27th.
Beginning in early August, check out eBay for a new auction of 40 hot movie costumes from Brinke's own closet. She'll appear at the San Diego Comic Con on Friday, Aug 3 to sign autographs from 11 am to 3 pm upstairs in the Autograph Area.

Brinke has worked on two new movies recently: DEMON SKULL, a Danny Draven film written and directed by Greg LeWolt, where she played a sultry "Dragon Lady" type. And in Full Moon's MAKE 'EM BLEED, she enjoyed a loud psychotic scene with Debbie Rochon and Lloyd Kauffman (head of Troma Films) who happened to be in town for a store signing. In August, she will star in Michelle Deal's new short film THE PSYCHIATRIST, as a therapist for a real wolfman. September will take her to Miami for Jose Prendes' feature CORPSES ARE FOREVER, where she'll portray a DNA scientist. There are also a couple more Conventions where Brinke is scheduled to appear. In late-April, Brinke was in Vancouver, Canada to shoot CARMILLA for Creepysix Films. Directed and written by Vince D'Amato, it's a modern retelling of Sheridan LeFanu's vampire classic, complete with nuns, cheerleaders and zombies! Brinke played the role of Juliet, Carmilla's aunt. It may be released by Halloween this year. She also starred in a short film (by the same company) called HEADS ARE GONNA ROLL, playing a sassy bartender. To celebrate her 100th movie appearance, the Canadian cast and crew surprised Brinke with a luscious blueberry cheesecake on set. In early May, Brinke shot DEMON TREASURE for writer-director Greg Lewolt. She played a "Tomb Raider" type of adventuress who gets demon-possessed and kills a few people. And contrary to printed reports, Brinke did indeed work on Jim Wynorski's SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 4, co-produced by Roger Corman's son. As you'll recall, Brinke was "Linda", a high school victim of a driller killer in SPM1 (1981). Since it was never specified that she died, Brinke reprises her same role 20 years later, when the grisly murders resume and the police question her. SPM4 will also feature a brief sepia-toned flashback from the original film. Brinke says she's highly amused at how it's all come full-circle!

We've added a link to Linnea's official website, the Linnea Quigley Circle.
Brinke's new film American Nightmare has a website online. You can also check up on Debbie Rochon at her website.
Many good reviews for WITCHOUSE 3 have been posted, such as this one at Secret Scroll Digest. Meantime, Brinke and Debbie Rochon are currently re-teamed in Tampa, Florida, working on Joe D. Casey's WE'RE COMING TO HELP, a sci-fi drama about an alien invasion in which Brinke plays a scientist and Debbie a government agent. These two will also work together in Florida this fall on DEATH ISLAND (from the makers of WEB OF DARKNESS, Renegade Films). Both will play doomed actresses who are shooting a horror movie on a creepy Caribbean island, replete with bloodthirsty zombies. It'll be directed by -- and will also star -- SFX wizard Tom Savini, who happens to play the fake film's director.
The official site for Death Island is now online. Death Island is an upcoming film staring Brinke, Tom Savini, Tiffany Sheppis and Debbie Rochon.
A couple more Conventions have been added to this year's schedule.
Brinke's new movie THE FRIGHTENING, directed by Dave DeCoteau, will be released in April at all Blockbuster stores. (It will also be available on this website.) We're happy to report that the reviews for WITCHOUSE 3 have all been resoundingly positive -- and you can soon see Brinke do another scary turn in Danny Draven's HELL ASYLUM, where she plays a long-dead bride who terrorizes a group of young women in a creepy old mansion This year at the Monsters Among Us convention in March, Brinke will be a model for a special photo workshop taught by Steve Nichols on Saturday night. For more information see the convention website or Steve Nichols website.
Ring in the new year with WITCHOUSE 3! The latest issue of FEMME FATALES (Jan 2002) is now available, featuring Brinke and all the stars of WH3 on the cover, plus it includes Brinke's funny & candid "making of" diary. By the way, this is the first issue of FF magazine to hit widespread newsstand distribution, which has successfully doubled its circulation. The street release date for WITCHOUSE 3's DVD isn't until January 22, but we already have advance copies in stock (see "Collectibles" and look under "Videos/DVDs"). Those who've seen it swear that Brinke's never been scarier! We've also added another scary new video, DEMON LUST, to the video list (it's found under "New for 2001"). AMERICAN NIGHTMARE will be released on Jan 27, and we'll have DVDs available after that date. Brinke sends her best wishes to all for happy holidays and a great new year ahead.
