WOMEN OF HORROR: FAY WRAY

WHEN YOU THINK OF CLASSIC HORROR SCREAM QUEENS, PROBABLY NO NAME LOOMS LARGER THAN FAY WRAY. 

The champion screamer who most famously went to the top of the Empire State Building with KING KONG.  She was also menaced by the synthetic flesh-hands of the Moon Killer in DOCTOR X,  almost became a wax dummy of Marie Antoinette in THE MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM and was hunted by the mad Count Zaroff in THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME.  Fay Wray's credentials:
  • DOCTOR X  (1932)
  • THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME (1932)
  • THE VAMPIRE BAT (1933)
  • MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEUM (1933)
