Major Movie Stars in Horror before they were BIG!
 
This thread is for the fact that I am always interested in looking back at horror movies whether they were good or not and seeing if there was any actor or actress that was in it and after became a big star. For example Johnny Depp in Nightmare on Elm Street and Kevin Bacon in either the first or second Friday the 13th. My first contribution to this thread is Drew Barrymore is in Waxwork 2. She is in the scene that is supposed to be from the movie Nosferatu. She is one of the girls laying in the bed.

Barrymore was beyond famous when she did Waxwork 2, that was just a cameo. The biggest skeleton in the closet I can think of is Brad Pitt's. He was in Cutting Class.

Kelly Hu was in Friday the 13th - Jason takes Manhatton. It was her first movie role, and she has appeared in movies like 'The Scorpion King' and 'X-Men 2'. So she has done pretty good for herself.

A few others I thought of:

Giovonni Ribisi in Mindripper
Emilio Estevez in Nightmares
Jack Nicholson in The Terror
Steve McQueen in The Blob
Patricia Arquette and Lawrence Fishburne in Nightmare on Elm Street 3
Seth Green in It
Viggo Mortensen in Leatherface
And both Corey's started out in horror.

I'll post more as I think of them.

Shit, just thought of more:

Jennifer Aniston in Leprechaun
Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger in TCM 4
Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman in Brain Dead
Marisa Tomei in The Toxic Avenger
Crispin fucking Glover in Friday 4

Dammit,

Stephen Dorff in The Gate
Ving Rhames in People Under the Stairs
Leonardo Dicaprio in Critters 3
Sly Stallone in Deathrace 2000
Billy Bob Thornton in Chopper Chicks in Zombietown

Okay, I'm stopping here unless I think of a really good one. But just about everyone in Hollywood has been in some kind of a horror film. It's a good place to start out I suppose.

Well, Halloween isn't exactly a skeleton in Jamie Lee's closet. That movie was a huge success and made her a star so I wasn't thinking about it.
