Saturday Scream Queen: Veronica Carlson


Blonde and beautiful Veronica Carlson graced several of the best gothic horror flicks during the late 1960s, being victimized by such classic movie villains as Christopher Lee's Dracula and Peter Cushing's Baron Frankenstein. In fact, never has Cushing's Frankenstein been so loathsome as when he raped Carlson's character in "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed" (1969).

Carlson married in 1974, and she retired from acting to raise her family and pursue a career as a painter. However, as of the mid-1990s, she once again began appearing in films. So far, though, her roles have been few, with "Black Easter" (1994) being the most noteworthy.
