​​​​Kimberly Lynn Cole wears many hats. Dancer, singer, writer, model and actress, she entered the realm of horror in the early 1990s, posing as a model for various monster magazines. Due to her extremely good looks, her height, and her figure, she caught on with the fans and editors. As she entered and expanded within the film realm, her reputation within indy horror grew considerably. It continues to grow, even now, with several new projects in the works. From her Alabama home she and her husband have reportedly started their own productions and are looking at several short horror films for the next two years.

Kimberly has been seen in numerous indy horror projects, one of the most notable being Odd Noggins, an Ed Woodish
type plot involving pudding which drive people crazy, aliens possessing housewives and turning them into killers, an original musical score, and ample gore.

The truly odd thing about Odd Noggins, to make a pun, is the way it was filmed. Rather than bringing everyone to their
Oregon home base, production company, F&C Productions had different actors and actresses in different parts of the country film their sections of the script in their home states. Afterward, everyone sent in what they had filmed and the project was edited together. Such a concept had all the earmarkings of disaster, but amazingly, worked out well.

For Kimberly’s segment, based in Alabama, she worked with two of the areas pro wrestlers, Tough Tony and Chains, who returned the favour by finding some additional work for her in their own industry. Shortly after the shooting of the movie, they got her into the indy wrestling scene, as a valet, using her vampire routine, from right out of the film.

Other indy horror projects to Kimberly’s credit are Cremains (she plays a vampire in this one as well), Monster in the Garage (in which she plays varied aliens), Abel Ferrara’s Body Snatchers (her first role, in 1993), Search For The Beast (the lead character), and Redneck Revenge (girlfriend to the lead villain). Mark of the Astro-Zombies, Horror Tales 666 (a jilted lover), Deadfall (a victim) and Psycho-Santa (victim to a crazed Santa killer) are also among the films that she has appeared in.

There is tentative planning for yet another vampire film, Kill All The Vampires, for late 2004 or early 2005 if certain negotiations can be worked out. The proposed plot would involve a drunken man who is picked up by a lady vampire in a bar and plunged into a world of sexual perversion as well as terror.

The fictional vampire is a very sensual character and Kimberly pulls this off better than anyone. If the deal goes through, she will be a magnificent leading lady.

Kimberly has had other roles outside the horror genre. She played a lesbian lover to Tallulah Bankhead in The Tallulah Bankhead Story and has been seen on stage in such unlikely roles as an Easter time passion play.

Kimberly makes as many appearances at horror conventions as time allows, making both herself and her films accessible to fans. She has been seen at conventions as far away from her home base as the Chiller Theatre Festival in New Jersey and the FanEX Conventions in Baltimore. And, as she gets more involved in the production of her films, she plans to attend even more conventions and fanfests, as well as enter her project in independent cinema festivities or contests. Even European conventions may not be too far out of reach within the next year or so.

As well as this, she has her own web site, as well as a page on F&C’s Dr. Squid’s Smorgasboard of Terror, updating people on her works and providing a means for fans to buy materials or videos.

With a load of credits to her name in a number of different areas, Kimberly Lynn Cole is sure to hit it big in one way or another.
