Today on Horror Crushes I am going with one of Freddy Kruger's prettiest victims, the blonde and beautiful Brooke Theiss! While, I mentioned her in an all blonde edition of Horror Crushes, it is time to make it official and induct her in by herself.
Thesis was born on Oct. 23, 1969 (making her 46) in Palos Verdes, California. Her first role was in 1988's Little Nikita, but I know her from her breakthrough role in A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4: The Dream Master released the same year. In that sequel, Freddy kills part 3's Kristen (pretty Tuesday Knight replacing Patricia Arquette). He uses her friend Alice (the gorgeous Lisa Wilcox), who Kristen has passed her dream powers to, to enter the dreams of her friends. He needs her as those kids aren't the original Elm Street teens (IE the kids of the parents who immolated him), and he can't enter their dreams without using her. Theiss plays tough 80s babe, Deb.
Deb is a total 80s hottie with big hair and studded accessories. That right there sealed the deal for me as a little kid, since I have always liked rocker girls. Deb is into working out and has a fear of bugs. So naturally Freddy kills her in a manner that combines both things. As she is working out, Freddy breaks her arms by pushing the weights down on her. Roach legs comes out and replace her forearms, which fall to the floor. Eventually, she is turned into a complete roach that is stuck in a roach motel. Freddy then crushes it resulting in goop pouring out. It all amounts to the movie's most spectacular, gruesome, and memorable death. It is a fan favorite and years later would even get it's own figure (left).
Following the amazing third installment, Dream Warriors, which is the finest slasher sequel, ever, Dream Master is a solid, though not as great flick. Fun and imaginative it made more than $49.3 million in the US at the time of its' release. It remained the highest grossing film in the franchise till Freddy Vs. Jason came out years later. Thesis was a huge crush of mine back then, along with the beautiful and aformentioned Lisa Wilcox (you can see both beauties below), who played final girl Alice, making this one pretty special for me growing up. Thesis is quite good and likable in her role. It's one of the things ANOES had over Fridaythe 13th sequels: better and more likable characters, in my opinion, anyways.
While, not horror, in any way, shape, or form sitcom Just the 10 of Us, debuted the same year and had her star opposite of another ANOES alumni, the original and Dream Warriors star Heather "Nancy" Lagenkamp. I had a crush on both, and despite my still remaining hatred of sitcoms, this is one I had to watch! I don't remember anything about it, though, other than the girls were hotties.
Theiss returned to horror and the Freddy franchise by appearing in the superlative 2010 documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy, where she talked about her role as Deb in part 4. And, she looked gorgeous!!!! She does horror conventions looking more beautiful than ever (the first pic all the way at the top of this article is a recent pic that I found online), though, sadly, I have yet to meet her, as she hasn't done one that I frequent. Brooke, please, do Chiller or Monstermania, please!
Blonde, tall, and blue-eyed, Brooke Thesis may not have done a lot of horror flicks, but her inclusion in the Nightmare franchise is one of the most memorable in the series and one of my biggest crushes growing up. So it is with great pleasure that I officially add Brooke Thesis to this site's Horror Crushes!
I've done horror crushes in the past, but what about when she's a horror crush who has only done one film? Well, for those girls I give you my new added segment: One Time Only Horror Crushes!! Let's begin with blondes. And, they all appeared in horror franchise sequels! Enjoy!
WARNING!!! SPOILERS ABOUND!!!!
Brooke Theiss (A Nightmare on Elm Street pt. 4: The Dream Master)- Playing rocker/ workout chick Debbie Stevens, Brooke was really fucking hot, even with the ozone layer killing 80s hair! The whole leather jacket and studs look was a huge turn on for me as a kid! Yes, dear readers, I ALWAYS had thing for rocker girls and will have till the day I die! Anyways, as she works out Freddy comes to her, and ends up turning her into a roach in one of the series very best FX tricks. BTW, the lovely Ms. Theiss is still waaaaaay hot!! MILF!!!
Camilla and Carey More (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter)- I love British accents!! I love hot twins!! So, these Final Chapter girls combine that in the 4th F13 movie. They appear riding bikes, in their shorts, which is hot, too! Then they skinny-dip. Later, one, has sex and gets thrown out the window by Jason, the other is a prude and decides to go home. Jason don't like cockteases so he impales her in a silhouette! Very cool scene! Anyways, they still look great, too!
Susan Jennifer Sullivan (Friday the 13th pt VII: The New Blood)- Man, I had the biggest crush on this babe. As mega-bitch Melissa, many male horror fans hated her, but they loved her, too!! She was beautiful! And, for the longest of time, I wonder what had happened to her. Sadly, I can say that I just found out that she had passed away on August 10, 2009 at the young age of 46. So, very sad. I had no clue this had happened, but I as I sit here writing this, I am very deeply saddened by this. Like I said had such a huge crush on her. May she RIP. Her beauty and lively performance is forever captured in one of the most fun, even if silly, entries in the series. God bless.
Tara Spencer-Nairn (Wishmater: The Prophecy Fullfilled)- This Canadian hottie stands out for many reason. 1. This is my favorite entry in the franchise (and, I RARELY ever like sequels over the original) 2. She's a heroine/ final girl that gets NUDE!! How many final girls EVER get nude?!! She is absolutely gorgous and a great actress to boot. Plus, the villain falls her. Cause, well how can you not?! The 4th entry in the series is well acted and adds a nice bit of emotional heart to the series. Anyways, she does TV work now, but goddamn I wish she would do another horror film!! And, get naked, again!! That is all.
That's it for this edition. I hope you guys and gals enjoyed these picks. Let me know your thoughts. Are there any one time horror crushes you would like me to mention? Or just tell me which ones are yours.
