Horror Movie Scream Queens brought to you by Playboy

To mark the recent 60th birthday of Playboy magazine, we look back at how many of its models have appeared in horror movies over the decades.
Whilst the often controversial publication likes to convey an image of sophistication and taste, to most of us the Playboy brand is synonymous with unabashed titillation. Small wonder, then, that so many Playmates go on to work in horror movies; while some professions might frown on a prospective employee having posed nude in a magazine, it's a surefire way of getting your foot in the door as a Scream Queen.

No, not every Playmate who went into acting - or, in many cases, side-stepped into nude modeling to boost their acting career - would wind up 'slumming it' in low budget genre fare. There are the oft-cited cases of Kim Basinger and Charlize Theron, for whom Playboy was but a step on their way to superstardom and Oscar success; but it's fair to say they're the exception rather than the rule.
Still, for those of us with a taste for the somewhat distasteful, a great many former Playmates have done admirable work in some thoroughly entertaining, often thoroughly trashy horror movies. Here are some of those most worth remembering.
