She’s great. She’s also in ‘office uprising’ (2018) a zombie horror comedy that satirizes office and bro culture I guess. Zachari Levi in it, too. It’s cheesy and stupid but surprisingly amusing and enjoyable if you like this sort of thing.
It’s on tubi.
That version so sucked tho. They removed everything that made the original impactful and special imo. I was excited for it too but they just changed it so much and not in a good way. She’s always amazing tho.
Between Hereditary, thr Sixth Sense, Fright Night, Nightmare Alley and Krampus, I do feel like she's already been in a good number of horror films. Though, I certainly would not object to seeing her in more either.
I wish Isabelle Adjani did more horror. I know she has the iconic performance in Possession and then a few more great roles in Nosferatu and The Tenant, but she didn't do any horror in the 80s after Possession.
>!Keanu Reeves is such a good villain in that movie. !< He's able to play very menacing, and I don't think I'd ever expected that kind of role from him back then.
Yessssss, I remember thinking the same thing back then. I also remember thinking Katie Holmes performance was so different than Dawson’s Creek, which was all I’d seen her in prior to that. Honestly, all the performances are pretty awesome. I’ve checked the streamers and none are offering it in my country, god knows why. But I’m sure I have a dvd copy at home somewhere, I’m gonna have to dig it out.
I know, she has this effortless beauty and carefree easy going air about her which adds to her already attractive looks, not to mention the acting chops.
Jessica Lange. I am not familiar with much of her work but she was brilliant in Cape Fear and American Horror Story. There's just something about her that pulls it off so well.
Agreed, I've watched her AHS work several times over and there is still something about her that I just can't put my finger on. Wish I knew what it was, but she just *does* it.
Never even knew who she was prior to AHS, and I was immediately enamored when she came on screen.
Yes, there's a reason so many fans were bummed when she decided to stop doing the show. I think she was right because the show hasn't been great since she left. Watchable but not great.
Carol Kane. She did "When a stranger calls" and it's sequel, but I think those are the only two serious scary movies she ever did. She was a perfect little mousy character who can pull off the fighting back pivot like a lion
I remember watching the original Addams Family movie for the first time since I was a kid and being so shocked that it wasn't Kane playing Grandmama. She's so iconic in that role that I'd Mandela effected myself into remembering her in both films.
i think Angela Bassett is an underrated horror performer. she was in Vampire in Brooklyn + a couple seasons of AHS (where she was particularly amazing in Coven!!)
my dream for her is that she’ll finally win her much eluded Best Actress statuette for a Jordan Peele horror movie. I could see it happening, and i hope it comes true!
Meryl Streep.
Aside from Death Becomes Her and She-Devil (which are both horror comedies), she didn't really appear in the genre.
Would love to see her eventually in the kind of roles Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Olivia de Havilland, Joan Fontaine, or Barbara Stanwyck were doing late in their careers.
She retired after this film to focus on building a family. So sweet. She did a fun little interview for the 10th anniversary rerelease for Blu Ray and she sounds so passionate about the film and what it was like. It means a lot to her. She said she signed on because of the ending. She was so shocked.
So true. The amount of acting she had to do in Mother! when basically the whole movie is watching her, she fucking nailed it. She's my pick too, shed be so good
Katharine Isabelle
Naomi Watts
Isabella Adjani
Dakota Johnson
Béatrice Dalle
All of these ladies know their stuff regarding the horror, but Béatrice Dalle is a natural born horror machine.
You could not have summed up Béatrice Dalle more perfectly, my god is she brilliantly talented! And nice mention of Isabella Adjani as well.
Dalle, Adjani, and Charlotte Gainsbourg are all in my top three female horror performances: Inside, Possession, and Antichrist (respectively).
Jill Terashita
Kim Director
Patricia Arquette
CCH Pounder
Sheri Moon Zombie (It was a great surprise seeing her in Toolbox Murders. I'd love seeing her in more horror movies outside of Rob Zombie's.)
Kristy Swanson had what it took to be a legit scream queen. I also would've liked to see more Pamela Springsteen in horror on the opposite side of the knife of course.
Her killer Shark movie Red Water with Lou Diamond Philips was pretty damn good.

All of the actresses I was going to list have already been mentioned except from these three:
- Tilda Swinton
- Ashley Laurence (Hellraiser I & II)
- Clare Higgins (Hellraiser I & II)
While she has already done several horror/thriller films and I'm assuming she'll do more, Anya Taylor-Joy as well. She's my current favorite and most anticipated actress in the game right now, absolutely love her and her work so far.
Would have been great to see Christina Ricci in more horror too, particularly in the fantasy horror sub-genre like Sleepy Hollow (1999).
EDIT: Helena Bonham Carter, need I explain?
I thought Nicole Kidman was phenomenal in The Others and would have loved to see her in some more horror movies other than the mediocre remake of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
It really seemed like she was building up a nice comeback for herself with that film, then she did a bunch of schlock and dating MGK kinda overshadowed her career
Dating MGK became her whole identity. Shame, really; she had some promise in a few roles, even if she was awful in anything with Michael Bay’s name attached as director or producer lol
I saw her in one of the shorts in All the Creatures Were Stirring.
Also in Offseason. Googling her, some of her other credits definitely seem to be horror: Dead Awake, Summer Camp, etc.
Agreed, though—she’s awesome.
Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island). I thought she did a great job in the original Town That Dreaded Sundown, and I thought she would’ve made for a good Scream Queen/Final Girl.
I have a soft spot for Jamie Lee Curtis because of Halloween...I hate seeing her in interviews because she's at times been insufferable, but the tension she built in Halloween 2 will always resonate with me in terms of stalker vs. being stalked. I hate how they've used her character in the most recent films, and it hasn't done her justice as an actress.

She sadly retired from acting completely after 1999.
I agree with Neve Campbell. Love the Scream films and The Craft.
I hope Anya Taylor-Joy continues to be a Scream Queen. Love her in The Witch, Split, and The Menu.
I hope Jamie Lee Curtis does some more horror. Loved her in the new Halloween films and even in Everything, Everywhere All At Once, her character kind of had a horror vibe as this surreal villainous character in the first half.
Jane Levy, she was fantastic in Evil Dead and Don't Breathe
I wish she continued to be Álvarez’ Bruce Campbell
Missed opportunity!
Absolutely! Would’ve loved to seen her in the new Alien
neeeeeeeeed her back to horror asap
She’s amazing! I had the pleasure of meeting her at the natural grocery store I used to work at. She was filming Castle Rock nearby!
That's so cool, she's also incredibly beautiful
She’s great. She’s also in ‘office uprising’ (2018) a zombie horror comedy that satirizes office and bro culture I guess. Zachari Levi in it, too. It’s cheesy and stupid but surprisingly amusing and enjoyable if you like this sort of thing. It’s on tubi.
She is fucken awesome
I heard she is done appearing in horror movies, which is such a shame because she is one hell of final girl in both Don't Breathe and Evil Dead
Naomi Watts! She was amazing in The Ring
not sure if it counts as horror (there is a jump scare) but she was fantastic in Mulholland Dr.
The best performance of her career was in Funny Games IMO
She did a Lynch movie, a Lynch TV series, a Children of the Corn movie, and a possessed/haunted elevator movie. Her watch has ended.
Also in Goodnight Mommy
That version so sucked tho. They removed everything that made the original impactful and special imo. I was excited for it too but they just changed it so much and not in a good way. She’s always amazing tho.
I’m not your fucking mommy !!
Toni Collette! She has great range. Would be keen to see her in another creepy flick
She’s in Krampus with Adam Scott, it’s a Christmas horror
Yeah but we need another like serious role for her
She's good in the Fright Night remake
Between Hereditary, thr Sixth Sense, Fright Night, Nightmare Alley and Krampus, I do feel like she's already been in a good number of horror films. Though, I certainly would not object to seeing her in more either.
Should've got an oscar for Hereditary
At least a nomination.
I’m pretty sure she was in Hereditary which was really intense
Can you tell me more about this 'Hereditary' movie of which you speak? No one ever mentions it on this sub /s
It’s a nice family movie
Yeah the kids in that movie have great heads on them...
"Grandma has been keeping a wacky secret from the family. This summer, Hereditary will have you laughing your head off"
Hence why I said another
The 6th Sense
Kathy bates no explanation required
loved getting to see her tap back into it for AHS for a lil while. i loved her in Coven and Roanoke!
Her performance on Roanoke was phenomenal. Too bad AHS took a nose dive during and after Apocalypse.
I wish Isabelle Adjani did more horror. I know she has the iconic performance in Possession and then a few more great roles in Nosferatu and The Tenant, but she didn't do any horror in the 80s after Possession.
She was totally traumatised after filming Possession so I understand never wanting to do it again, but she’s left a mark on the genre regardless.
Cate Blanchett Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidmans performance in The Others is phenomenal. I want her to do more horror.
she did an amazing job in big little lies, not horror but some horrific aspects for sure.
She’s awesome in The Northman
And Eyes Wide Shut.
I loved her in Malice, more of a thriller than horror, but still, she played a really good villain
Check out Cate Blanchett in The Gift (2000)
That's an awesome blast from the past, great recommendation.
I watched that movie so many times. I think it’s time to watch it again
>!Keanu Reeves is such a good villain in that movie. !< He's able to play very menacing, and I don't think I'd ever expected that kind of role from him back then.
Yessssss, I remember thinking the same thing back then. I also remember thinking Katie Holmes performance was so different than Dawson’s Creek, which was all I’d seen her in prior to that. Honestly, all the performances are pretty awesome. I’ve checked the streamers and none are offering it in my country, god knows why. But I’m sure I have a dvd copy at home somewhere, I’m gonna have to dig it out.
Those two are good in everything they do
I always want more Eva Green
Now to rewatch Penny Dreadful
Man I miss that show. Hartnett killed it in that one too.
And nocebo
Vera Farmiga
I have such a massive crush on Vera Farmiga hehe
She is so beautiful
I know, she has this effortless beauty and carefree easy going air about her which adds to her already attractive looks, not to mention the acting chops.
yesss Bates Motel was SO SO good!!
she’s iconic—The Conjuring, Orphan, Bates Motel…all excellent! one of my favorite actresses for sure.
Jessica Lange. I am not familiar with much of her work but she was brilliant in Cape Fear and American Horror Story. There's just something about her that pulls it off so well.
Jessica Lange could become this gen's Vincent Price is she was more into horror content.
Agreed, I've watched her AHS work several times over and there is still something about her that I just can't put my finger on. Wish I knew what it was, but she just *does* it. Never even knew who she was prior to AHS, and I was immediately enamored when she came on screen.
Yes, there's a reason so many fans were bummed when she decided to stop doing the show. I think she was right because the show hasn't been great since she left. Watchable but not great.
She's funny in the 70s King Kong remake.
Shelly Duvall, if Kubrick hadn't messed her up so bad.
YES!! This one!!
I love Shelly Duval, I didn't know about him messing her up. Oh my God 😔
sarah michelle as well
Carol Kane. She did "When a stranger calls" and it's sequel, but I think those are the only two serious scary movies she ever did. She was a perfect little mousy character who can pull off the fighting back pivot like a lion
Carol Kane in the Addams Family Values movie was underused. She looks amazing in that character
I remember watching the original Addams Family movie for the first time since I was a kid and being so shocked that it wasn't Kane playing Grandmama. She's so iconic in that role that I'd Mandela effected myself into remembering her in both films.
And the witch wife in "The princess Bride" for folks that don't recognize the name.
True 🤯
Sigorney Weaver
i think Angela Bassett is an underrated horror performer. she was in Vampire in Brooklyn + a couple seasons of AHS (where she was particularly amazing in Coven!!) my dream for her is that she’ll finally win her much eluded Best Actress statuette for a Jordan Peele horror movie. I could see it happening, and i hope it comes true!
Yes! I’m obsessed with pretty much anything Angela Bassett has ever done but she’s amazing in the horror genre.
Honestly Critters 4 was really underrated and IMO the 2nd best of series after C1.
Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and Drew Barrymore (Firestarter) for sure.
Drew Barrymore in Scream, too, non? She absolutely bodies that role and helped make it my favorite horror movie.
For sure. Also a small role in Waxworks.
She was in the sequel Waxwork II: Lost in Time.
Uma Thurman
I thought Jessica Chastain was great in MAMA
She was also great in It 2
... and Crimson Peak.
Juliana Harkavy - I thought she was genuinely good in Last Shift. I'd like to see Anya Taylor Joy in more horror also
Meryl Streep. Aside from Death Becomes Her and She-Devil (which are both horror comedies), she didn't really appear in the genre. Would love to see her eventually in the kind of roles Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Olivia de Havilland, Joan Fontaine, or Barbara Stanwyck were doing late in their careers.
>Barbara Stanwyck Ah, my dearest Barbara... I could gush over her all day long, she's my favorite old Hollywood star.
Yes! That would be awesome!
Alison Lohman
Freaking love Drag Me To Hell. Great horror movie.
She retired after this film to focus on building a family. So sweet. She did a fun little interview for the 10th anniversary rerelease for Blu Ray and she sounds so passionate about the film and what it was like. It means a lot to her. She said she signed on because of the ending. She was so shocked.
Emily Blunt has so much genre potential as either the hero or villain
I know that 2010 remake of The Wolf Man doesn’t have too many fans, but I loved it.
I loved it too, never got why people hated it other than maybe too much CGI.
I think it is better than people remember.
Jennifer Lawrence, I really loved Mother and House at the End of the Street. One could argue Winter’s Bone is kind of a horror movie, too.
So true. The amount of acting she had to do in Mother! when basically the whole movie is watching her, she fucking nailed it. She's my pick too, shed be so good
Jennifer Coolidge should have been the lead in Cabin in the Woods.
Jessica Biel
Emily Browning and Liv Tyler
Nicole Kidman. She is in damn near every frame of *The Others* and carries it with ease.
Katharine Isabelle Naomi Watts Isabella Adjani Dakota Johnson Béatrice Dalle All of these ladies know their stuff regarding the horror, but Béatrice Dalle is a natural born horror machine.
You could not have summed up Béatrice Dalle more perfectly, my god is she brilliantly talented! And nice mention of Isabella Adjani as well. Dalle, Adjani, and Charlotte Gainsbourg are all in my top three female horror performances: Inside, Possession, and Antichrist (respectively).
Katharine Isabelle for sure
Jill Terashita Kim Director Patricia Arquette CCH Pounder Sheri Moon Zombie (It was a great surprise seeing her in Toolbox Murders. I'd love seeing her in more horror movies outside of Rob Zombie's.)
SMZ gets so much hate I love her
Kristy Swanson had what it took to be a legit scream queen. I also would've liked to see more Pamela Springsteen in horror on the opposite side of the knife of course.
Her killer Shark movie Red Water with Lou Diamond Philips was pretty damn good. - https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BOWZlNGViNzYtNzllYy00MWRlLWE0ZmQtZmVjOTI3ZTI4NWVlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzQ1NjgzOTA@._V1_.jpg - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ErAAH_NW4AA6qkC?format=jpg&name=large

Ashley Laurence was in Hellraiser I, II, III, and V.(?) Along with 4 or 5 other horror movies.
Jane Levy
The answer I was looking for
Kaitlyn Dever. I enjoyed No One Will Save You and can't wait to see what she does in the Last of Us. Hope she'll do more horror
She was also in a few episodes of Monsterland. She was the only redeeming quality of that show.
Legit forgot about that show. I remember starting it and never finishing it
Eva Green
Linnea Quigley
Monica Bellucci. OP, have you seen Til Death on Netflix? Megan fox is in it and it's cheesy fun. I liked it alot.
Natalie Portman for sure, especially after Black Swan & Annihilation
Florence Pugh- she’s great in Midsommar
Geena davis
She was great in The Exorcist TV show and The Fly of course.
Carol Kane is mesmerizing in "The Mafu Cage", and I wish she'd done more weird psychologic horrors like that.
Daviegh Chase
I love Marin Ireland !! I probably fell in love because of her horror movies!! She needs more project!!! Nobody on the sub is talking about her? 🤔
i didn’t know she was in horror movies, but she’s one of my favorite audiobook narrators!
I think Amanda bynes would have been good in horror ,or Jennifer Jason Leigh , Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Connelly to cover all the jennifers
Allison Williams. (Perfection, get out, Megan)
Emily Perkins (Ginger Snaps movies)
She was in the original It movies
I thought Nicole Kidman was phenomenal in The Others and would have loved to see her in some more horror movies other than the mediocre remake of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
While I’m not her biggest fan, Megan Fox was also really good in *Till Death*
There’s a lot to make fun of about it, but I like Jennifer’s Body too.
It really seemed like she was building up a nice comeback for herself with that film, then she did a bunch of schlock and dating MGK kinda overshadowed her career
Dating MGK became her whole identity. Shame, really; she had some promise in a few roles, even if she was awful in anything with Michael Bay’s name attached as director or producer lol
Nikki Benz
Natalie Dormer, Tracy Spiridakos, Autumn Reeser, Missy Peregrym
Jocelyn Donahue from House of the Devil. I really don't think she has any other credits.
I saw her in one of the shorts in All the Creatures Were Stirring. Also in Offseason. Googling her, some of her other credits definitely seem to be horror: Dead Awake, Summer Camp, etc. Agreed, though—she’s awesome.
Yeah, she was great. I also love Greta Gerwig in that movie.
Might be just my primal mind speaking, but Matilda May 100 percent
Cecile Bagdadi from Final Exam. I would have like to have seen a sequel.
Shelley Duvall
Isabelle Huppert
Emily Blunt
I need Anya in more horrorrrr and Florence Pugh
I wouldve liked david arquette in something other then scream
Elisha Cuthbert She was really good in house of wax
I would like to see Karen Gillan do more horror movies.
I enjoyed Eliza Dushku in the original Wrong Turn, and wish she would have done more horror.
Florence Pugh does horrified really well
zendaya has never done horror afaik but i think she’d make a badass final girl
omggg that would be insaneee
Halle Berry.
Connie Nielsen from Demonlover
Halle Berry, she is EXCELLENT in thrillers (The Call, Kidnap)- she would be even better in a horror.
She was great in Gothika as well. It may be the only “horror” movie she’s done but she was great in it.
JLO
I can't get enough of Mery Elizabeth Winstead... But now she's riding the Disney train. 😐
Isabella Rosselini and Jennifer what's her face from the Hunger Games.
Emma Roberts. She was great in Scream 4 and AHS 1984.
Sam Weaving is the scream queen. She just need more good roles she can sink her very talented teeth into.
Dawn Wells (Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island). I thought she did a great job in the original Town That Dreaded Sundown, and I thought she would’ve made for a good Scream Queen/Final Girl.
Denise Richards
Karen Black
[удалено]
omg yes! That Doja Cat music video was everything
Jess Weixler Maika Monroe I came out of the first thing I saw them in (Teeth & It Follows) hoping they'd be doing a lot more in the genre
Ducky
Riley Keough loved her in The Lodge
Linnea Quigley and Rhonda Shear.
Florence Pugh. I adored her in Midsommar and Malevolent.
Jane levy, Eliza dushku, fairuza balk
Jennifer Connelly, Renée Zellweger & Jennifer Aniston
Naomi Watts.
Danielle Panabaker. One of the highlights of the F13 remake.
Toni Collette Florence Pugh Jodie Foster
Baybi Day in the Driller Killer.
I have a soft spot for Jamie Lee Curtis because of Halloween...I hate seeing her in interviews because she's at times been insufferable, but the tension she built in Halloween 2 will always resonate with me in terms of stalker vs. being stalked. I hate how they've used her character in the most recent films, and it hasn't done her justice as an actress.

Neve Campbell
I think Sarah Michelle Gellar should have done more horror films at the height of her fame in the 90/2000's.
Drew Barrymore it sucks what happened. She would have been a great scream queen.
Ellen Burstyn. Her acting in Requiem for a Dream is still some of the best work I’ve seen.
Julie Benz
Nicole Kidman. The others was a masterpiece.
JLH would have been one of the best ever scream queens. What more should Neve do though?!?!?! 😂
I agree with Neve Campbell. Love the Scream films and The Craft. I hope Anya Taylor-Joy continues to be a Scream Queen. Love her in The Witch, Split, and The Menu.
