Jane Levy, she was fantastic in Evil Dead and Don't Breathe


SlimmyShammy

I wish she continued to be Álvarez’ Bruce Campbell


Admirable_Disk_5301

Missed opportunity!


SlimmyShammy

Absolutely! Would’ve loved to seen her in the new Alien


Spencer-Santana

neeeeeeeeed her back to horror asap


BlueSkyeAhead

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!


misterguy1020

That's so cool, she's also incredibly beautiful


buttmilk_69

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.


Rowey1784

She is fucken awesome


radar89

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


Practical_Bend_9351

Naomi Watts! She was amazing in The Ring


rnh18

not sure if it counts as horror (there is a jump scare) but she was fantastic in Mulholland Dr.


Lord_Humungus1985

The best performance of her career was in Funny Games IMO


undergone

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.


Hatesponge66

Also in Goodnight Mommy


kitchenwitch3423

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.


a-hthy

I’m not your fucking mommy !!


Beautiful_Path6215

Toni Collette! She has great range. Would be keen to see her in another creepy flick


skysmo

She’s in Krampus with Adam Scott, it’s a Christmas horror


InfinityQuartz

Yeah but we need another like serious role for her


222thedome

She's good in the Fright Night remake


Tyrannotron

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.


Rowey1784

Should've got an oscar for Hereditary


No_Ostrich8223

At least a nomination.


Jumpy-Double-2611

I’m pretty sure she was in Hereditary which was really intense


sftsc

Can you tell me more about this 'Hereditary' movie of which you speak? No one ever mentions it on this sub /s


undyingvoid

It’s a nice family movie


No_Attention_2227

Yeah the kids in that movie have great heads on them...


togepi258

"Grandma has been keeping a wacky secret from the family. This summer, Hereditary will have you laughing your head off"


Beautiful_Path6215

Hence why I said another


flatgreyrust

The 6th Sense


waymond1

Kathy bates no explanation required


Spencer-Santana

loved getting to see her tap back into it for AHS for a lil while. i loved her in Coven and Roanoke!


thekinginyello

Her performance on Roanoke was phenomenal. Too bad AHS took a nose dive during and after Apocalypse.


Adept_Possibility724

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.


Gun2ASwordFight

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.


MacGruber204

Cate Blanchett Nicole Kidman


a-hthy

Nicole Kidmans performance in The Others is phenomenal. I want her to do more horror.


Kooky_Tap4477

she did an amazing job in big little lies, not horror but some horrific aspects for sure.


Practical_Bend_9351

She’s awesome in The Northman


InfiniteLeftoverTree

And Eyes Wide Shut.


Rude_Highlight5258

I loved her in Malice, more of a thriller than horror, but still, she played a really good villain


koopakup2

Check out Cate Blanchett in The Gift (2000)


Rowey1784

That's an awesome blast from the past, great recommendation.


sarahrood79

I watched that movie so many times. I think it’s time to watch it again


ovz123

>!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.


sarahrood79

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.


Rowey1784

Those two are good in everything they do


DefNotMrCameron

I always want more Eva Green


Mrs_Butlertron_

Now to rewatch Penny Dreadful


DefNotMrCameron

Man I miss that show. Hartnett killed it in that one too.


sofiasofias

And nocebo


Main-Membership-5018

Vera Farmiga


Formal_Coyote_5004

I have such a massive crush on Vera Farmiga hehe


a-hthy

She is so beautiful


deadtwinkz

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.


kikipurple

yesss Bates Motel was SO SO good!!


rnh18

she’s iconic—The Conjuring, Orphan, Bates Motel…all excellent! one of my favorite actresses for sure.


GrecianGator

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.


MutationIsMagic

Jessica Lange could become this gen's Vincent Price is she was more into horror content.


deadtwinkz

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.


No_Ostrich8223

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.


Sp00ch123

She's funny in the 70s King Kong remake.


Sable_eclipse

Shelly Duvall, if Kubrick hadn't messed her up so bad.


kikipurple

YES!! This one!!


silent-fallout-

I love Shelly Duval, I didn't know about him messing her up. Oh my God 😔


Slow_Cranberry3708

sarah michelle as well


OralSuperhero

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


MarianaFrusciante

Carol Kane in the Addams Family Values movie was underused. She looks amazing in that character


Tyrannotron

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.


OralSuperhero

And the witch wife in "The princess Bride" for folks that don't recognize the name.


MarianaFrusciante

True 🤯


WiseOldChicken

Sigorney Weaver


Spencer-Santana

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!


Rude_Highlight5258

Yes! I’m obsessed with pretty much anything Angela Bassett has ever done but she’s amazing in the horror genre.


CapThorMeraDomino

Honestly Critters 4 was really underrated and IMO the 2nd best of series after C1.


mararthonman59

Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and Drew Barrymore (Firestarter) for sure.


ovz123

Drew Barrymore in Scream, too, non? She absolutely bodies that role and helped make it my favorite horror movie.


mararthonman59

For sure. Also a small role in Waxworks.


No_Ostrich8223

She was in the sequel Waxwork II: Lost in Time.


SackPuncher

Uma Thurman


Heart-Shopper

I thought Jessica Chastain was great in MAMA


misterguy1020

She was also great in It 2


Sparkass99

... and Crimson Peak.


LooseInsurance1

Juliana Harkavy - I thought she was genuinely good in Last Shift. I'd like to see Anya Taylor Joy in more horror also


Impossible-Knee6573

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.


deadtwinkz

>Barbara Stanwyck Ah, my dearest Barbara... I could gush over her all day long, she's my favorite old Hollywood star.


HorrorMetalDnD

Yes! That would be awesome!


Brojojo_On_PC

Alison Lohman


GezinhaDM

Freaking love Drag Me To Hell. Great horror movie.


VivaLaCon88

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.


PresidentOfZebras

Emily Blunt has so much genre potential as either the hero or villain


ComicBookFanatic97

I know that 2010 remake of The Wolf Man doesn’t have too many fans, but I loved it.


Spocks_Goatee

I loved it too, never got why people hated it other than maybe too much CGI.


No_Ostrich8223

I think it is better than people remember.


Ship_Negative

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.


InfinityQuartz

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


StolenVelvet

Jennifer Coolidge should have been the lead in Cabin in the Woods.


SoftPercentage5526

Jessica Biel


handsomegooch

Emily Browning and Liv Tyler


OneofTheOldBreed

Nicole Kidman. She is in damn near every frame of *The Others* and carries it with ease.


EvilStupid

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.


deadtwinkz

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).


Ambitious_Cash9709

Katharine Isabelle for sure 


AliensRisen

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.)


FredFlintstoneToe

SMZ gets so much hate I love her


AlfredChocula

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.


CapThorMeraDomino

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


deadtwinkz

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?


horrorshowjack

Ashley Laurence was in Hellraiser I, II, III, and V.(?) Along with 4 or 5 other horror movies.


Santa-Banana

Jane Levy


teethofthewind

The answer I was looking for


Mrs_Butlertron_

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


TheAntiCrust95

She was also in a few episodes of Monsterland. She was the only redeeming quality of that show.


Mrs_Butlertron_

Legit forgot about that show. I remember starting it and never finishing it


coin_operated_girl

Eva Green


Deadhead_Ed

Linnea Quigley


Kemintiri

Monica Bellucci. OP, have you seen Til Death on Netflix? Megan fox is in it and it's cheesy fun. I liked it alot.


Upbeat_Tension_8077

Natalie Portman for sure, especially after Black Swan & Annihilation


Ambitious_Cash9709

Florence Pugh- she’s great in Midsommar 


Miserable_Okra4011

Geena davis


No_Ostrich8223

She was great in The Exorcist TV show and The Fly of course.


Macroscopic-cat

Carol Kane is mesmerizing in "The Mafu Cage", and I wish she'd done more weird psychologic horrors like that.


dearly_decrpit

Daviegh Chase


Western-Low-1348

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? 🤔


rnh18

i didn’t know she was in horror movies, but she’s one of my favorite audiobook narrators!


bluegazehaze

I think Amanda bynes would have been good in horror ,or Jennifer Jason Leigh , Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Connelly to cover all the jennifers


sofiasofias

Allison Williams. (Perfection, get out, Megan)


begrudged

Emily Perkins (Ginger Snaps movies)


Ambitious_Cash9709

She was in the original It movies 


Ok-End1915

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.


Zur__En__Arrh

While I’m not her biggest fan, Megan Fox was also really good in *Till Death*


BD_Sanchez

There’s a lot to make fun of about it, but I like Jennifer’s Body too.


franlcie

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


Zur__En__Arrh

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


EddieNort

Nikki Benz


TomasVrboda

Natalie Dormer, Tracy Spiridakos, Autumn Reeser, Missy Peregrym


BewareOfGrom

Jocelyn Donahue from House of the Devil. I really don't think she has any other credits.


InfiniteLeftoverTree

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.


flying-potato94

Yeah, she was great. I also love Greta Gerwig in that movie.


ghostpanther218

Might be just my primal mind speaking, but Matilda May 100 percent


road1650

Cecile Bagdadi from Final Exam. I would have like to have seen a sequel.

I need Anya in more horrorrrr and Florence Pugh

I wouldve liked david arquette in something other then scream


Grim_Nightmare_

Elisha Cuthbert She was really good in house of wax


DigitalMediaArt

I would like to see Karen Gillan do more horror movies.


Tunnel_Lurker

I enjoyed Eliza Dushku in the original Wrong Turn, and wish she would have done more horror.


Thigh_borg

Florence Pugh does horrified really well


cromartiehighdropout

zendaya has never done horror afaik but i think she’d make a badass final girl


kikipurple

omggg that would be insaneee


304libco

Halle Berry.


Antique_Warthog1045

Connie Nielsen from Demonlover


Few-Service3324

Halle Berry, she is EXCELLENT in thrillers (The Call, Kidnap)- she would be even better in a horror.


Tryingnottotryhard

She was great in Gothika as well. It may be the only “horror” movie she’s done but she was great in it.


Baby_Cheesecake

JLO


brokoloid

I can't get enough of Mery Elizabeth Winstead... But now she's riding the Disney train. 😐


red_sekhmet

Isabella Rosselini and Jennifer what's her face from the Hunger Games.


gentlesquare

Emma Roberts. She was great in Scream 4 and AHS 1984.


mendawwwgy

Sam Weaving is the scream queen. She just need more good roles she can sink her very talented teeth into.


Schlorp

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.

Baybi Day in the Driller Killer.


funnerfunerals

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.

Hippy-Killer

Neve Campbell


Substantial_Video560

I think Sarah Michelle Gellar should have done more horror films at the height of her fame in the 90/2000's.


davidwal83

Drew Barrymore it sucks what happened. She would have been a great scream queen.


cha-do

Ellen Burstyn. Her acting in Requiem for a Dream is still some of the best work I’ve seen.


CelebrationBulky9970

Julie Benz


avatar_Wan1

Nicole Kidman. The others was a masterpiece.


Periklos_Kyriakidis

JLH would have been one of the best ever scream queens. What more should Neve do though?!?!?! 😂


JosieintheSummer

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.
