Trophy Heads is a horror-comedy web series from Full Moon that premiered in 2014, directed and produced by the iconic Charles Band. The show follows the story of a group of actresses who have all made their fortunes by starring in Full Moon's cult horror movies and are now living the good life in Hollywood. However, their peaceful existence is about to be interrupted by someone who holds a grudge against them: an obsessive fan who accuses the actresses of selling out and turning their backs on horror.
At the beginning of each episode, the actresses are seen leading their glamorous and frivolous lives, unaware of the danger that awaits them. The series focuses on six main characters: Brinke Stevens, Linnea Quigley, Jacqueline Lovell, Darcy DeMoss, Denice Duff, and Michelle Bauer. Each episode features one of the actresses being lured away from her luxurious home and captured by the fan, who then proceeds to torture and humiliate them before displaying their severed heads as trophies.
The tone of the show is intentionally campy and over-the-top, with exaggerated performances and deliberately cheesy special effects. The actresses themselves are playing fictional versions of themselves, with tongue-in-cheek references to their real-life careers and personalities. The show uses its meta concept, where Full Moon's own actresses are being targeted, to celebrate and satirize its own legacy.
Aside from the main storyline, Trophy Heads also features several meta references to Full Moon's other movies and characters. There are numerous nods to cult favorites like Puppet Master, Demonic Toys, and Subspecies, as well as appearances by actors associated with Full Moon such as Stuart Gordon and Tony Todd. The show also features a secondary storyline, following the investigation of the fan's crimes by two bumbling cops who are as likely to hinder the investigation as they are to help.
Overall, Trophy Heads is a fun and irreverent show that should delight fans of Full Moon and horror-comedy in general. With its witty writing, enthusiastic performances, and lovingly crafted nods to the company's past, it's a treat for anyone who loves the weird and wonderful world of cult cinema.
