Biography
Zoe Trilling (née Geralyn Mae Betzler; May 27, 1966 - September 8, 2023) was an American actress. She left such a strong presence in her film roles, that she developed a small cult of loyal fans. She started out as a dancer, first appearing in the movie, Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985) with Helen Hunt, a movie which also starred Amelia Kinkade, her co-star in the second movie of the Night of the Demons trilogy. She acted under both her real name and screen name through small TV supporting roles and later gained meaty roles in low-budget horror movies. She became most well known for her work in the movies, Night of the Demons 2 (1994) and Tobe Hooper's Night Terrors (1993). After her acting career ended, she returned to her dancing roots as a choreographer for the American Ballroom in New York City.
