She was very sexy in Shivers.

She was.
And 38 ain't that old, dude!

I just recently saw Shivers tooand Barbara looked simply EDIBLE in that film (and at 38 no less).

Recent:
Quantam of Solace: 8/10
Madagascar 2: 6/10
5ive Girls: 6/10
Harold & Kumar 2: 7/10

Ah yes, I know that now! I guess I was just thinking it was re-titled, but I was wrong. They both have a similar 'feel' to them, a similar theme and are not as good as other Cronenberg films, but I guess I need to watch them again back to back, to get an idea which one I like better.
I always liked the 'Rabid' cover photo though! Would be cool to have that poster!

No. Actually, "Shivers" and "Rabid" are two different films by Cronenberg.

Funny, but 'Shivers' was on cable last night! I'm wondering if 'Shivers' is/was also known as 'Rabid', by Cronenberg?

Black Sunday is something you need to see! It is a great movie- scare me when I was a young girl. The Dark Shadows was good even thourgh it is a tv show- she played two play two parts, Dr. Julia Hoffman and Josette's mother. Nightmare Castle was good too.

I felt so sorry for Barbara Steele during the bathtub scene in "Shivers." I have an interview with Ms. Steele where she openly admits she hated doing that particular scene.
Q: What's the biggest room in the world? A: The room for improvement.

Black Sunday
The Pit and the Pendulum
Shivers

I would say that she was in her prime in the 1960's, especially looks-wise, but by the time she did Silent Scream in 1980, she was only about 43 years old by then (as a kid you think that is SO 'old'! You get older an realize, she was STILL hot at 43 and that it's really NOT so 'old'!), and should have done 3-4 films a year through-out the '80's; Sadly, she kind of faded away fro awhile. But as other's have stated here, Try Piranha, Silent Scream, Caged Heat, Pit and the Pendulum
I need to see Nightmare Castle & Black Sunday.
I also have Shivers but haven't watched it in years, so that's next in the VCR!
And I can't wait for her new one, I just hope it hits the theatre screens and is not direct-to-video!

Besides "Shivers', Ms. Steele had made quite a few good horror flicks during the 1960's. If you can, try renting them all. No doubt it'll be worth your while.

I've only seen Barbara Steele 1c84in 1966's Nightmare Castle. What other films of hers do you highly recommend ? She is a great actress and a beautiful woman. She is the number one "scream queen" of horror. She is still alive and looking good. May she live long and prosper.
