It's the present day, and our heroines, real life Scream Queens Darcy DeMoss, Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, Michelle Bauer, Jacqueline Lovell, and Denice Duff, who starred in those infamous movies back in the 80's and 90's, have gone on with their lives since those days, some still acting or in new businesses of their own. What none of them suspect is that somewhere, down in the basement of an old house, an obsessed fan, Max, sits in the dark, watching clips from those movies over and over, his obsession growing into a diabolical plan. One by one, with his mother's help, he begins to ''collect'' them, transporting them to a makeshift prison he's set up in his basement. The Scream Queens have no idea what's going on, until they find themselves forced to re-enact movie scenes from their horror heyday, a nightmarish process since Max remembers every line and gesture and they haven't watched them in years. And they definitely don't remember the new and terrible outcome of the scenes.

The Screaming Skull is an American horror film starring John Hudson, Peggy Webber and Russ Conway. The opening scene is of a coffin. The narrator explains that the film's climax is so terrifying that it may kill the viewer, while assuring the audience that should they die of fright they will receive a free burial service. Inside the coffin is a card which reads, 'Reserved for You'. Newlyweds Jenni (Peggy Webber) and Eric (John Hudson) arrive at Eric's country home. Jenni is Eric's second wife, his first wife Marion died when she accidentally drowned in the estate's pond. It is revealed that Jenni spent time in an asylum following the death of both of her parents. Jenni is disturbed by Mickey (Alex Nicol), the mentally disturbed estate's gardener who believes that Marion's ghost wanders the estate. Jenni begins to hear unexplained screaming noises and see skulls around the house, and believes that Marion is haunting her. Eric tells Jenni that Mickey was a childhood friend of Marion, and therefore dislikes Jenni. Jenni feels she is losing her mind. Eric removes Marion's self-portrait from the home and burns it outside, uncovering a skull from the ashes. Jenni panics at the sight of the skull, but Eric denies that the skull is there. Jenni faints as Eric hides the skull, revealing that he has been gaslighting her all along. Jenni believes she has finally lost her mind. Is Marion's ghost haunting her? Why is Eric gaslighting her, and for what purpose? Twists and turns yet to come bring us to the finale of this epic horror. (68 minutes - 1958 - Black & White - 4 3).
