SPECIAL GUESTS
Kelli Maroney
Kelli is best known for her portrayal of the exasperated cheerleader "Cindy Carr/Spirit Bunny" in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), a film that, for many, epitomized the 80s.
Strong female leading roles, notably MAC-10-toting cheerleader "Samantha Belmont" in the zombie apocalypse classic Night of the Comet (1984), the sweet Killbot-slaying "Alison Parks" in Chopping Mall (1986), "Jamie" in the underground slasher The Zero Boys (1986), teen psychotic-killer "Jolene" in Slayground (1983), and several other well-received films quickly earned Kelli her seat at the table as a Final Girl in the horror genre.
