In an interview at Horror Society, she states that she was "discovered" at Chiller Theatre and has been acting "ever since".[3][8][9] Her first feature was Sorority Slaughter in 1994. By the time she was in her 30s, she had become a "huge fan favorite".[2]

Krause has appeared in over 78 independent, direct-to-video features, including Penny Dreadful, The Drunken Dead Guy, The Thirsting, Zombiegeddon, and Play Dead.[10] She also worked several times with RedLetterMedia, including on The Recovered, Feeding Frenzy, and The Grabowskis.[11] She has also done some fetish modeling, sometimes under the stage name Mia Copia.[12] She is in Horrotica which began its principal filming in the New YorkNew Jersey area in June 2009.[13] In 2011 she portrayed Sally in Richard Chandler's Christmas comedy film Scrooge in the Hood, which is a parody of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.[14] In 2015 she starred alongside fellow scream queens Erika Smith and Rachael Robbins in The Fappening.[15]
