Interesting post!! Even though I had never heard of Ms. Reeves, I appreciate the pics of her unusual look. She seems to have used it to her best advantage in the vampire flick.

My sister and I, along with our girlfriends used to stay up late on the weekends to watch Prisoner Cell Block H. We used to think that the women portrayed were the toughest chicks EVER! While we watched, we nipped out of our parents liquor cabinet, ate tons of snacks and tried to smuggle boys into the sleepovers. We also used to relish Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, SCTV and the Uncle Floyd Show. Plus, who could forget, Chiller Theater. Thanks for reminding me of the good old days growing up.

There are two fabulous multi-DVD collections of “Oz-ploitation” films that were released down under in the wake of Not Quite Hollywood (or rather, in tandem with) and I picked up both, but haven’t watched Thirst yet. Thanks to this post, I’ll be moving it up further into the queue!

I just saw a fun,entertaining documentary on Australian exploitation films of the 70s & 80s at this year’s Atlanta Film Festival called NOT QUITE HOLLYWOOD and there were several clips from THIRST with some Yvette Rees sightings plus lots of other crazed offerings that I now must see such as NEXT OF KIN (1982), directed by Tony Williams, DEAD END DRIVE-IN (1986), FAIR GAME (1986) and INN OF THE DAMNED (1975).

Great post! She was pretty terrifying in Witchcraft. I too have a passel of favorite supporting actors from my combined viewing of 1960s British TV show DVDs and movies of the same era (Vladek Sheybal being one). It’s especially great when the same actor shows up in two different movies/shows in a row…
