Horror Crush: Liliana Komorowska

After too long a break, it's time to induct another stunner into my site's Horror Crushes! Today that honor goes to the impossibly sexy and gorgeous Liliana Komorowska.

Liliana Komorowska was born in Gdańsk, Poland on April 11, 1956. She has appeared in more than fifty movies! And, while very few of those are actually horror movies, the role that gets her the induction here, is unforgettable!

That role is of bad girl Helena Monet in Scanners III: The Take Over (1991). This third entry in the franchise tells the tale of Monet (Komorowska) and her brother (Steve Parrish) who are both Scanners. While, he has gone into exile to learn to control his powers after accidentally killing someone, she has stayed behind. The psychical pain of being a Scanner becomes to much for her, and she uses her father's experimental drug on herself. Unfortunately, it drives her mad, and she becomes evil, power hungry, and, well, insane. She takes over her dad's pharmaceutical company and sets her eyes on world domination with the help of other Scanners. She will do battle with her bro, though as he has come back to stop her.

The first movie, of course, is the cult classic from horror master David Cronenberg, and the second entry is directed by the same director as this one, Christian Duguay. All three are Canadian films and were followed by the two Scanner Cop movies. Anywho, this one definitely looks cheaper than the two that precede it. But, you won't care, cause it's a super fun movie filled with wild characters. There is, of course, some good gore here including, but not limited to the prerequisite head explosion, a very memorable underwater full body detonation, an awesome decapitation, and more. It also has this wonderful, kind of campy feel to it that adds to one's enjoyment. It's the weakest of the first three movies, but not by much. And, as you can see from my words, is an absolute blast to watch.

That being said, it is Komorowska who steals the film. From the moment I watched the VHS tape, as a kid, I absolutely crushed on her. Watching it recently for the first time in ages on Scream Factory's Double Feature Blu-Ray release, I crushed all over again! She's sexy as hell, vamps it up, and chews up the scenery. She is also breathtakingly beautiful with stunning eyes and amazing legs to boot. That she also appears nude in the movie only earns more points!

In 1995, she appeared in the sci-fi/ horror flick Screamers. Like I mentioned back when I inducted the stunning Jennifer Rubin into Horror Crushes, this ain't a good flick. Honestly, I didn't even know/ realize Komorowska is in until today! Anywho, she looks good in it, and is one of the few movies to have two Horror Crush inductees. So there is that.

She also appeared on The Hunger TV series in one episode in 1997. I have never watched a single episode of this show, so I have no clue how it was, or how she was in it. If you have seen it, let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.

An absolutely stunning woman who is effortlessly sexy, Komorowska is an underrated but awesome actress. Her character of Helena in that third Scanners flick, alone makes her a worthy candidate for inclusion, into Horror Crushes!

Horror Crush: Daphne Zuniga

It's time to induct another beauty into this site's hollowed halls of the Horror Crush section! Toay's inductee is an actress who has been a big crush of mine since childhood, Melrose Place beauty: Daphne Zuniga!

Daphne Zuniga was born on October 28, 1962 in San Francisco, California. Her mom was a Unitarian minister of Polish and Finish decent, and her dad, from Guatemala, and was an emeritus professor philosophy at California State University, East Bay. In her early teens, she began to show an interest in acting and attended the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. She would later enroll in the University of California to study theater.   

While, she might be best known for her mainstream work, in particular the aforementioned Melrose's Place, she has actually appeared in a decent amount of horror. Far more than I even thought she had. In fact, her first acting gig was in a 1982 slasher movie The Dorm that Dripped Blood. Also known Pranks, I've never seen this one, but I already knew that it actually made Britain's infamous Video Nasties list. She plays a supporting role in this tale of college students who stay over Christmas vacation to clean out a condemned dormitory. They get killed one by one, of course. Only 19 when she appeared in it. Any, fans of this one? And, how she is in? Let me know in the comments section below.

Two years later she appeared in another college centered slasher movie, The Initiation. This time, though, she had the lead role, as Kelly Fairchild. In it, she's been haunted by a nightmare since childhood were some dude gets immolated in her parents (played by Clu Gulager and Vera Miles[!!!) room with both of them present, post-coitus. Meanwhile, an inmate said parents fear has escaped from a sanitarium. People begin to die, of course, as a mysterious assailant keeps knocking them off. 

I actually only saw this a few days ago and quite enjoyed it. It isn't that gory or innovative when it comes to the kills, though one or two are pretty good. What it is, is suspenseful. And, while it is a bit on the slow side, it builds up nicely to a really good climax with a great setting: a mall. The slow pace does allow for likable character development and some good acting from Miles and Gullager. Zuniga is especially good as the lead, making for a believable final girl that we actually care about.

It goes without saying that Zuniga looks absolutely gorgeous. She also appears in her panties with a quick plummer's crack shot. The other girls in the flick are also pretty and, in keeping with the sensibilities of slashers back in the day, do get nude.

In 1987, she appeared in what is probably her most famous movie role, Princess Vespa in Spaceballs. This is where I first saw her in and first crushed on her. But, it's her role two films later, in 1989, that solidified my crush on her: The Fly II. Dealing with the rapidly growing and mutating son of Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum), Martin (an excellent Eric Stollz), is looking to cure himself of his genetic curse. But, the bad guys wanna study and use him. He isn't happy about that to say the least, especially cause these assholes lied to him and even experiment on his doggy damning it to a deformed hell. Said scene is absolutely heartbreaking and soul crushing. It always makes me sob, even though I can't  actually watch the scene on top of having watched it many times.

Look this movie is no where near the level of David Cronenberg's masterpiece of a first film, arguably the greatest remake ever made. So, don't waste your time comparing it, OK? Instead, enjoy for what it is, a fun monster movie. It has incredible FX, but then again, it's directed by and has FX handled by Chris Walas (who also handled the FX on the first movie). So, it obviously would be. It has some incredible gore, including two scenes, a face melting and a crushed head via elevator. that really push the R-rating at the time. 

It's also really well acted. Stollz is great, of course, as is Lee Richardson as Anton Bartok, the flick's truly despicable main villain. Also, good is Zuniga. She plays the very sweet and likable love interest to Martin, Beth Logan. Watching this as a kid, I was blown away by her beauty and their sex scene. Actually said scene shows no naughty bits, but it somehow still caught my pre-teen brain/ hormones attention (not that hard to do back in those days, to be honest).

Her next two horror roles were both on TV. The first was for a short lived show that I never heard of before, an anthology called Nightmare Classics (1989). 

The other was in an episode of The Outer Limits (1999). I haven't seen this one either. But, if any of you guys have seen either, let me know in the comments section. Let me know how the episodes were and how she was in them.

I met her at an August 2017 Monster-Mania. She was all smiles and seemed to be having a lot of fun at the con. She also still looks absolutely gorgeous!

 

To mainstream audiences she maybe best known for Melrose Place and Spaceballs, but she'll always be best remembered by me, and probably other genre fans for her horror roles, in particular, The Fly II. For her breathtaking beauty and great acting skills in said roles, I am proud to induct Daphne Zuniga to be an official Horror Crush!

Muse responded in kind: “I love working for Maestro Claudio! He has a vision and he knows how to bring it to action. He has an eye for women and their bodies and what they are capable of. He brings out the sexual animal in me and encourages me to be raw and real. That’s why I think that my scenes for him are so powerful.

After obtaining his private pilot license, Claudio decided to move to the US to continue his pilot training. In 1993, he moved to Los Angeles and obtained his commercial, multiengine and instrument pilot licenses.

Horror Crush: Lauren LaVera

As I said last time, I am planning on doing Horror Crush inductions more often. And, so today we induct a beauty who is destined, in my humble opinion, to go in the category of greatest final girls ever, the gorgeous Lauren LaVera!

LaVera was born in Philadelphia, PA on June 14, 1994. She is an all around ass kicker, having been trained for many years in various forms of martial arts, kick boxing, weapons, and firearms, and a trained dancer for ballroom and ballet. Also, she's been acting since 2016, working on various short films and TV, including the short lived Netflix/ Marvel show Iron Fist (2017). 

It's her role in the 2022 slasher sequel, Terrifier 2, that won our hearts, as well as this induction. After seemingly dying in the excellent first film, Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) is resurrected by some evil entity, The Little Pale Girl (Amelie McLain). He soon begins his killing spree anew. In the meantime, teenager Sienna (LaVera) is getting her Halloween costume ready. Her younger brother Jonathon (Elliot Fullam) has become immersed in all things Art the Clown, even wanting to dress like him for the holiday. Sienna soon has a nightmare about Art and her costume's wings are set a afire in a seemingly supernatural manner. Eventually, Art targets her friend and mom, and kidnaps Jon. Sienna will have to do battle with the twisted and unstoppable clown. 

Terrifier 2 is that rarest of sequels, perhaps in even more rare in slasher subgenre, the sequel that tops its awesome first movie. Writer/ director/ editor/ producer/ makeup artist Damien Leone has made an epic and brutal masterpiece that cements Art as one of the great horror villains. Far crueler than his counterparts like Jason or Michael Art doesn't just kill. He mutilates in manners that make this absolutely merciless gorefest and one of last year's best horror movies. 

While, it is a bit longer than it may need to be, it does allow for character development, in particular when it comes Sienna. LaVera gives an awesome performance her. She is tough, likable, and brave. The way she is willing to not just take on Art, but her heart and soul, make her a great heroine. One that I think, as times passes, will be ranked right next to other great final girls like Ellen Ripley, Kristy Cotton, Laurie Strode, Nancy Thompson, etc. Of course, it goes without saying that LaVera is a natural stunner, on top of being a fucking badass!

I actually had the pleasure of meeting LaVera last year in November 2022's Monster-Mania. She is so sweet and gorgeous in person. I wish I had seen the movie when I met her, so that I could've told her how amazing she is in it. Hopefully, I will get the chance in a future con, and she can also sign my Blu-ray of the movie.

 Lauren LaVera has rapidly become a fan favorite thanks to her amazing portrayal of Sienna in Terrifier 2. Her beauty and badassery really bring her character to life. She's a fucking awesome heroine in a movie destined to become a classic of the genre. And, so it is a no brainer, that Lauren LaVera is a more than worthy addition to Horror Crushes!
