(I just had to use this hunky picture to grab your attention—and mine. Just one of the many stars listed below who started in horror)
It apparently does happen to the best of them. Either a star begins in Playboy or does a horror movie; apparently both ideal jumping points for fame. Some of them would like to hide these past experiences and cut them off their resumes, but honestly I enjoy watching them. You can see a standout star even at a tender age. The list of stars and horror movie beginnings is an extensive one, but here are some of the more entertaining match-ups:
Kevin Bacon “Friday the 13th” 1980
Renee Zellweger & Matthew McConaughey “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4” 1994
Jennifer Aniston “Leprechaun” 1993
Ben Affleck “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” 1992
Jim Carrey “Once Bitten” 1985
Johnny Depp “A Nightmare on Elm Street” 1984
Josh Holloway “Sabretooth” 2002
Katherine Heigl “Bug Buster” 1998
Demi Moore “Parasite” 1982
Brooke Shields “Alice Sweet Alice” 1976
