Thread: Greatest Leading Actress in a Horror Film of All Time

Tweet

Who do you think should get the award? (I realize this sort of a game, but I figured it would be better in this section. Mod, if you don't agree then go ahead and move it.)


I pick Jamie Lee Curtis.

I'd say Jamie Lee Curtis too.

Simone Simon

Jamie Lee Curtis, Janet Leigh, Linda Blair, Linnea Quigly, and Adrienne King was great in Friday the 13th. Sissy Spacek was REALLY good in Carrie, and lastly, Catherine Hicks in Child's Play, everyone always forgets her. Oh. and Sarah Michelle is my favourite recent leading horror actress.

I also think Adrienne Barbeau, for her role in The Fog.

Karen Black is right up there too...

I loved her in Burnt Offerings, I have seen a few others with her in them, but I just can't think of the titles.

I'd say Barbara Steele. (Black Sunday, The Ghost, She Beast, Nightmare Castle.)

I loved her in Trilogy of Terror too, I remember watching it on tv late at night as a child. That Voodoo doll frightened the life out of me lol

All of the above are great. While certainly not the the league wth those previously mentioned, I'd like to add:


PJ Soles (Halloween, Carrie, Possessed, Devils Rejects, Uncle Sam)
Betsy Russell (Cheerleader Camp, Camp Fear, Saw)
Rose McGowan (Planet Terror, Scream, Phantoms)
Monique Gabrielle (b movies)
and lastly
Asia Argento (simply because I like her dad's films)
