Quick Answer

What is Scream Queen Hot Tub Party about?

Scream Queen Hot Tub Party is a 1991 American comedy-fantasy-horror film directed by Jim Wynorski and Fred Olen Ray about a group of iconic scream queens who gather in a spooky mansion to share secrets and discuss their careers after being lured there by a mysterious host.

Programmer's Pick

If you ever wondered what happens when five scream queens swap stories in a hot tub instead of running from monsters, this is your answer. It’s pure meta-camp, with the queens themselves (and even the directors) getting in on the joke. The mansion may be spooky, but the real heat comes from the genre in-jokes and unabashed sexploitation flair.

Overview

Scream Queen Hot Tub Party brings together an all-star lineup of Hollywood’s renowned scream queens, including Brinke Stevens, Michelle Bauer, Kelli Maroney, Roxanne Kernohan, and Monique Gabrielle. The film’s setup sees these cult horror icons summoned to a creepy mansion by a mysterious figure known as Count Orlock, only to discover they’ve been tricked. Rather than running for their lives, the queens opt for relaxation, retreating to a hot tub where they candidly discuss their horror careers, favorite films, and the unique challenges of being a scream queen. Mixing self-aware humor, playful fantasy, and a wink to exploitation cinema, this film is a meta-celebration of genre stardom—with plenty of nudity and genre references for dedicated fans.
