I can think of one. Assault on Precinct 13. The space one too, maybe. Red Mars or something?

You have to understand her point of view. The daughter of Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, that in itself comes with it's own baggage. Then her first movie, Halloween, a horror film almost shoehorned her and typecast her as her mother's daughter, the "Scream Queen" a title I'm sure she didn't ask for.
Then when she got out of horror for the sake of her own career, people criticized her. She couldn't win. Then she's saddled with Laurie Strode for 40 years almost. I'd be rude too. Some fans aren't exactly understanding or respectful to her in that regard.
So it's not all her. In docile settings, interviews, she seems forthright, comfortable and honest. Nothing wrong with that. So I tend to cut her a break with all that in mind.

Yeah I don't get her title as Scream Queen. She's got nothing on Fay Wray from the original King Kong (1933), the true Scream Queen! Tho, I did later learn that wasn't actually Fay Wray's screaming voice - it was dubbed. But whatever, her "character" in the movie was the true Scream Queen IMO.

How many horror films did Fay Wray actually do? Not as many as JLC, I would imagine. You don't become Queen with one movie, you become Queen with a whole career of movies where you earn the title, not a one or two off. Fay Wray's heyday was in the early to mid 1900s when horror was simply monster movies. Psycho in 1960 changed all that, long after he prime. So I just don't see her being a Queen of anything except her most famous role, King Kong. 1 movie. 1.
