I've only noticed a couple, but I like it when I do see this.

The people we know as main terrorisers from horror flicks being seen in relatively mundane roles in movies of different genres - usually earlier in their career. Obviously, they're actors and have probably been in a lot of movies before they become an icon of the horror world but I still think it's fun to see them pop up now and again.

Two examples:

Jigsaw actor Tobin Bell appearing breifly in Goodfellas

Captain Spaulding actor Sid Haig plays a judge in another Scorcese flick - Casino

Any more iconic horror characters seen mingling in the normal world?

Brad Dourif in Lord Of The Rings

Although Dourif has done many other things besides horror (Deadwood, Dune, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest). Just whenever i think of him i always think Chucky.

Robert Englund has done a bunch of things outside of horror, including an appearance on Soap.

Christopher Lee turns up in a lot non-horror stuff.

Vincent Price was in the TV spy spoof Get Smart.

That nasty bloke from The Cook, The Thief His Wife and Her Lover was in Harry Potter wasn't he Wicker? Never seen any of the Potter movies myself but I'm sure you said he was Dumbledore?
