Welcome to CultSirens.com, where we pay tribute to the gorgeous and provocative actresses of today and time periods past. These cinematic beauties have excited, inspired, and entertained fans around the world. Thank you for visiting!

The term “Scream Queen”, if I recall correctly, was created somewhere in the early eighties, by someone in the media covering cinematic fantasy. That way, it helped categorize and recognize the numerous actresses frequently hired for horror pictures. More often than not, these women worked in awkward conditions and portrayed characters in mainly decorative roles.

The principal goal of this site is to honor some of these brave souls, famous or not, and give some deserving web space to more undeservedly obscure actresses. Are there many sites are devoted to Jennifer Love Hewitt or Sarah Michelle Gellar? Many. Why can’t we find the same amount of quality information on Edwige Fenech, Daria Nicolodi or Laura Gemser, all true Cult Sirens in every sense of the word? I have no clue. So, we will try our best here.

We named the site Cult Sirens, since the term “Scream Queen” was probably copyrighted long ago and that way, we can cover horror, sci-fi, euro-trash, B-movies, Z-movies, fantasy, etc.

To come up with our Cult Sirens list is as much entertaining as it is exciting, but always confusing. On which criteria should I make my selections? Beauty alone? Talent? The quality of the actress’ filmography? Or the sheer quantity of it? Or again, why not select people with the most available pictures on the Net? Ah! Well, it was a tough choice. So we began by choosing our own favorite personalities in the many genres listed above, who luckily possessed all the qualities mentioned in that same paragraph.

So, there. Have fun. Frequent updates are planned. Sincerely, we created this site with a lot of respect for every actress represented on this site. There is no explicit graphic nudity in these pages.

What you will find is as follows: biography, appreciation of some key films, an exhaustive filmography and, of course, pictures!

Enjoy our collection of information on actresses of several genres of film. You can expect to find profiles on Ursula Andress, Fay Wray, Mamie Van Doren, Julie Newmar, Rosalba Neri, Caroline Munro,Edwige Fenech, Miou-Miou, Marisa Mell, Mylène Demongeot, Claudia Cardinale, even some more contemporary sirens such as Tia Carrere and Halle Berry.

We hope you enjoy your visit!

Our Cult Sirens

Sybil Danning

One of the greatest legend of all femmes fatales of the screen, let's welcome the immortal B-movie Queen of the 80s!

Daria Nicolodi

Always a mysterious presence in her movies, particularly those made by her ex-hubby, Dario Argento.

Talisa Soto

Another one of our Bond Girls, and a Latina, at that. Who could ever forget her starring role in Vampirella?

Yvonne Craig

Another Cult figure from the swinging sixties, this pixie-like beauty was TV's Batgirl.

Halle Berry

One of the newest Bond Girl and the only Oscar winner (to date!) on this distinguished list.

Dany Carrel

One of our favorite sexy pixies of European cinema of the '50s and '60s.

Tura Satana

As well known for a single role as others are for many, for Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Martine Beswicke

One of the rare lucky ones to have been a Bond Girl at two different times.

Shana Hiatt

Shana Hiatt will always be the ultimate Poker Girl!

Linda Harrison

Cult status for only one role, Nova in the immortal classic Planet of the Apes.

Mamie Van Doren

At an age when she should be making strawberry jam and needlepoint, she still plays the vamp.

Naomi Tani

The Queen of Japanese bondage films! What can we say more, exactly?

Elke Sommer

Too often seen as dumb blondes, she worked all over the world... and speaks seven different languages.

Rosalba Neri

You can't go wrong in choosing her to be your favorite Euro-Cult movie fiancee...

France Nuyen

Sometimes seemingly impassive, but always an unforgettable presence.

Hazel Court

One of our rare redheads, this Englishwoman could vary her range from charm to perfidity in an eyeblink.

Kumi Mizuno

A gorgeous face that once challenged Godzilla himself... a thirty-year plus love affair.

Fay Wray

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the person that could well be the greatest Scream Queen of all time!

Pam Grier

One of the last of the genre, who can mix beauty and talent in any kind of project.

Tia Carrere

After many B and Hollywood movies, became a television star in her own series.

Sigourney Weaver

Sigourney Weaver has played countless roles, but of course we LOVE her as the ICONIC character, Ripley.

Lynda Carter

Changed the face of television in the '70s and made a comic book hero a sex symbol.

Anita Ekberg

Former Miss Sweden and great pin-up of the fifties, one of the indisputed party girl of her era!

Julie Strain

At 6'1", another unforgettable figure of recent low-budget films.

Claudia Jennings

The ultimate Queen of the Drive-Ins of the seventies and one of the most adored Playmate ever.

Miou-Miou

My favorite actress of all time? Perhaps the reason why this website even exists!

Raquel Welch

Gaaah! What to say? Another perfect example that these Sirens don't age at the same pace as us? Remember the Picture of Dorian Grey...

Barbara Steele

The High Goddess of all assembled here, on your knees before La Steele!

Brinke Stevens

A most respected Siren of the '80s and the perfect symbol of a modern actress involved in B-movies.
