Blair returned to the big screen, working steadily and almost exclusively in exploitation films, low-budget fare and straight-to-video items, although "Savage Streets" (1984), in which she headlined as an L.A. girl-turned vigilante after the brutal gratuitous rape of her mute younger sister, and the ambitious comedy "Up Your Alley" (1989) were a definite cut above the worst of the lot (e.g., "Roller Boogie" 1979, "Hell Night" 1981, "Chained Heat" 1983, "Savage Island" 1985). She even got to spoof her best-known role in "Repossessed" (1990), but most movies either wanted an obligatory demon possession (i.e., "Witchery", "A Woman Obsessed" both 1989) or a little 'T & A', showing her in sexy shower or tub scenes (i.e., "Bedroom Eyes II" 1989, "Bail Out" 1990). She surfaced as an obnoxious reporter in Craven's hit "Scream" (1996) and made her Broadway debut, replacing Lucy Lawless in the role of Rizzo, in the never-ending revival of "Grease" (1997).
