Scream Queen? Moi'???

Having boyfie accompany me to yesterday's first of five PRP treatments was a god-sent. Don't think I could have managed it alone.

However, as of this morning, he has dubbed me his "Scream Queen". Say whaaaaa...???

So out of curiosity (and also due to the fact that I now have tonnes of time at home and not being able to do much housework), I wiki'd "Scream Queen". Hahah...Below are some interesting facts about "Scream Queens":

• A scream queen is an actress who has become associated with horror films, either through an appearance in a notably entry in the genre as a frequent victim or through constant appearances as the female protagonist. Fay Wray is noted as the first scream queen, while Jamie Lee Curtis is notes as a woman who helped revive the scream queen title with her performance in the popular slasher film Halloween.
• The term "scream queen" is more specifically used to refer to the "attractive young damsels-in-distress" characters that have appeared in a number of films in the horror genre. However, experts in the industry have changed this sort of mindset and define a scream queen beyond your typical attractive damsels. In gist, they must have a brain, deliver a memorable and impactful performance and worry about something other than a guy...unless said guy is trying to kill them.
• Historically, the use of women in horror films dates back to the silent era with films such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Nosferatu (1922).
