Vivian Schilling

Her crowing achievement was Soultaker (1990) made infamous by MST3K. I've never seen the MST3K version but I do remember renting Soultaker at the video store and reading about Vivian Schilling in Fangoria. She made her acting debut in Fred Olen Ray's Star Slammer (1986) followed by Beach Fever (1987) and the back then heavily promoted indie-schlockfest Terror Eyes (1989). Remember this ad?



She was tooted as multi-talented, but acting-wise she was stuck in awful B-Movies, though she had a few tiny acting parts in "bigger" movies like Eyes of the Beholder (1992) and Inside Monkey Zetterland (1992) starring Patricia Arquette.

Seems like she struck a distribution deal with Hemdale Home Video in the 1990s as they released a couple of Schilling movies to VHS: the family adventure film The Legend of Wolf Mountain (1992) starring Robert Z'Dar  :buggedout: and another family adventure film called Savage Land (1994) starring Brion James  :buggedout: and her return to horror, the PG-13 rated sci-fi anthology Future Shock (1994).



in the 2000s she did forgettable TV movies and series and directed a teen yoga documentary  :buggedout:

She's still around and even has her own website.

Any forgotten bad movie actors you'd like to pimp?

I've always been partial to Sybil Danning, myself. For such a glamorous gal, she always seemed to be adept in starring in really crap movies.  :cheers:

She was also in an African war film called The Whispering Death, along with Sir Christopher Lee which was filmed in my birth country of Rhodesia while the actual war was going on.
