what about Paul Rudd in Halloween 6?
Honorable mentions are better picks than pretty much all the list -_-
Jack Black is funny even when he's going to be killed
Jack Black was also in Mars Attacks, in 1996/97.
my fav is Cory Monteith he did alot of horror movies before Glee, he did Hybrid, Killer bash, Kraken, so yeah…
Samuel L. Jackson in Def By Temptation.
I guess Jessica Biel in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was in the same category as Jamie Lee Curtis…..
FUCK YAS MY BOY JOHNNY
I loved the number one never knew Johnny Depp was in my favorite horror movie franchises
i totally agree with this
Don't forget about a young Corey Feldman in Gremlins.
Does anyone know the music in the background?
Steve McQueen in The Blob (1958), Clint Eastwood in Revenge of the Creature (1955)
Kevin Bacon only an honorable mention?!?! That's not fair! Cmon watchmojo! You know he's on the list somewhere!!!!
i love demi moore
+WatchMojo.com Johnny Depp in "A Nightmare on Elm. Street"!!!
I really don't think it was necessary for you to cut Jamie Lee Curtis out of the list.
my fraviote actors are johnny depp and jack niceslin
What about Norman Reedus in Mimic or Jensen Ackles in Devour?
What about Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger in Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Or Norman Reedus in Mimic or maybe even Pandorum?
John Candy in "The Clown Murders" 1976 it's a hard movie to find very rare
Jennifer Connelly in Creepers, anyone? It didn't launch her career either.
Where is Tom Hanks in He Knows You're Alone???
John Travolta's film debut, "Carrie"
Depp was my fav actor
here's a fun fact, ryan gosling was in goosebumps tv show before he was a big name actor.
the reason why Kevin Bacon is part of the honorable mentions list it's because Friday the 13th wasn't his actual film debut his real film debut was actually in Animal House which apparently isn't a horror movie
Julia Louis Dreyfus
one word: Seinfeld
where is bruce campbell??? where is ash?
Isla Fisher and James McAvoy in Swimming Pool (2001)
