Famous Celebrities Who Started Out in Horror?


Let's only include well known stars who began their careers in a horror film and eventually became highly successful. And it doesn't necessarily have to be their first ever film role either, like for example Kevin Bacon's first full length feature was actually Animal House, which was before he played in Friday the 13th. Just any early horror role from when they were young and before they became really famous. Some of these likely even led them to be discovered and kickstart their careers into stardom.

Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween)
Kevin Bacon (Friday the 13th)
Johnny Depp (Nightmare on Elm Street)
Crispin Glover (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter)
Patrick Dempsey (The Stuff)
