Needless to say, Ms. Romain is one of my favorite Hammer beauties and could sport a low-cut dress like no one else, most impressively in "Curse of the Werewolf." Romain also appeared in "Night Creatures (AKA Captain Clegg)," "Corridors of Blood," "Circus of Fear," and "Devil Doll." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:09:42 GMT Susan Strasberg http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001782/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001782/ First came to horror fan's attention in "Scream of Fear," Strasberg also appeared in "The Manitou" and "Bloody Birthday," not to mention numerous episodes of horror TV like "Night Gallery," "Tales from the Dark Side," "Tales of the Unexpected," "The Sixth Sense," and "The Invaders."

Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:14:44 GMT Carolyn Jones http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427700/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427700/ Jones solidified the fantasy of the eerie, dark haired horror maiden as Mortica Addams on "The Addams Family."

Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:17:19 GMT Yvonne De Carlo http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001119/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001119/ You're either a Mortica or a Lily. De Carlo was stunning as a pin-up model and in "The Ten Commandments" before establishing herself as a horror legend for her role as the mother on camp classic sitcom "The Munsters." Horror feature roles include "American Gothic," "The Silent Scream," "Cellar Dweller," and "Satan's Cheerleaders." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:19:25 GMT Bette Davis http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000012/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000012/ By the time she starred in horror films like "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?," "The Nanny," "Burnt Offerings," "The Watcher in the Woods," and "Wicked Stepmother," you'd be hard press to call Bette Davis a babe. But she was an iconic beauty in the 30s and 40s. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:21:59 GMT Daliah Lavi http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0492002/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0492002/ Stunning in Mario Bava's erotic ghost story "The Whip and the Body," Lavi also appeared in "The Return of Dr. Mabuse" and 1963's "The Demon."

Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:27:19 GMT Claire Bloom http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001954/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001954/ If Julie Harris wasn't your style in "The Haunting," how about Claire Bloom as the more intense Theo? Bloom also appeared in the original "Clash of the Titans" as the goddess Hera. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:29:37 GMT Tippi Hedren http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001335/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001335/ Another one of Hitchcock's beauties, Hedren was menaced by feathered furries in "The Birds." Other genre films include "Pacific Heights," "The Boneyard Collection" and TV movies like "The Darkling" and the dubious "Birds II: Land's End." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:43:27 GMT Caron Gardner http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0306856/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0306856/ She only had a bit part in Hammer's "The Evil of Frankenstein" and an uncredited role in "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed" but she was memorable in the former... Mostly because of the low-cut nightgown she wore. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:44:53 GMT Eva Bartok http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0058982/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0058982/ I could list almost the entire cast of Bava's "Blood and Black Lace." The film is filled with beautiful women. Chief among them is Eva Bartok. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:46:42 GMT Lea Lander http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0484586/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0484586/ Credited as Lea Krugher, Lander was another beautiful victim in "Blood and Black Lace." She later appeared in another Bava film, the intense crime flick "Rabid Dogs. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:47:46 GMT Claude Dantes http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0200613/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0200613/ Okay, last one from "Blood and Black Lace." Dantes is spellbinding as the strikingly beautiful Tao-Li. If you'll allow me to sound creepy for a little bit, her death scene is the sexiest scene in the whole movie. She has few other credits. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:51:11 GMT Evi Marandi http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0544826/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0544826/ She wore a very tight space suit in "Planet of the Vampires." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:53:30 GMT Fenella Fielding http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0276134/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0276134/ Highly seductive in William Castle's farcical remake of "The Old Dark House." She later appeared in the horror spoof "Carry On Screaming." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:35:39 GMT Ursula Andress http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000266/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000266/ The original Bond girl, Andress appeared in Hammer's "She" and Italian cannibal flick "The Mountain of the Cannibal God." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:54:54 GMT Catherine Deneuve http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000366/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000366/ An iconic beauty of the French New Wave, Deneuve starred in the amazing "Repulsion" as well as the highly erotic 1983 vampire film "The Hunger." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:06:20 GMT Raquel Welch http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000079/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000079/ I'm really pushing the definition of "Babes of Horror" with this one. Not the babe part, that's indisputable. Welch had a profound influence on many a young men in Hammer's "One Million Years BC" and "Fantastic Voyage," neither of which are really horror movies. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:56:46 GMT Barbara Shelley http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0791176/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0791176/ Attractive star of many Hammer horror films, including "Dracula: Prince of Darkness," "Rasputin: The Mad Monk," "The Gorgon," and "Quatermass and the Pit." Before any of that, she appeared in the original "Village of the Damned." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 21:59:23 GMT Susan Denberg http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0218911/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0218911/ Though her career was short lived, Denberg was stunning as the title character in 1967's "Frankenstein Created Woman." She had another famous title role as one of Mudd's Women on an episode of "Star Trek." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:01:33 GMT Sharon Tate http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001790/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001790/ It's a sad, well-known fact that Sharon Tate's promising career was cut short by real life horror. She was beautiful in "The Fearless Vampire Killers." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:03:29 GMT Veronica Carlson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0138040/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0138040/ Another Hammer beauty, Carlson appears in "Dracula Has Risen from His Grave," memorably in the controversial "Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed," and "The Horror of Frankenstein," as well as other non-Hammer horrors like "Old Drac," "The Ghoul" with Peter Cushing, and 1995's "Freakshow." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:08:44 GMT Mia Farrow http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001201/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001201/ Ethereal Mia Farrow maybe isn't exactly a babe, though she is beautiful. But her horror cred is undeniable. Chief among her genre credits are "Rosemary's Baby" of course, but also "See No Evil," "The Haunting of Julia," and the remake of "The Omen." She was also married to Frank Sinatra and Woody Allen which was probably horrifying for very different reasons. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:11:41 GMT Jill Banner http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0052307/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0052307/ Another actress who's career was sadly cut short, Jill Banner was a spider babe in "Spider Baby," Jack Hill's fabulously odd cult classic. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:12:50 GMT Judith O'Dea http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0640621/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0640621/ Iconic but catatonic as Barbara in "Night of the Living Dead," O'Dea has become a regular on the horror convention circuit in recent years. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:16:36 GMT Dagmar Lassander http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0489798/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0489798/ Beautiful as a murder victim in Bava's "Hatchet for the Honeymoon" and Fulci's "House by the Cemetery." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:17:29 GMT Ingrid Pitt http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0685839/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0685839/ Oh, Ingrid Pitt. I don't think any buxom beauty was associated with the bawdy, bloody horror films of Hammer late period as much as you. Always amazingly easy on the eyes and sadly no longer with us. Credits include "The Vampire Lovers," "Countess Dracula," "The Wicker Man," "The House That Dripped Blood," "Transmutations," "The Sound of Horror," and her final film with Hammer, 2008's web serial "Beyond the Rave." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:30:24 GMT Madeline Smith http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809184/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809184/ Carmilla's soul mate in "The Vampire Lovers," the amazingly hot Madeline Smith also appeared in Hammer's "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:25:01 GMT Victoria Vetri http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0895407/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0895407/ If Raquel Welch was the bikini wearing cave-babe of the 1960s, then Playboy centerfold Victoria Vetri was the same for the 1970s, though in my opinion she's the hotter of the two. Aside from "When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth," she also appears in "Invasion of the Bee Girls" and in a small role in "Rosemary's Baby." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:08:18 GMT Vanessa Howard http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0397654/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0397654/ British cutie smoldered in cult classic "Girly." She also appeared in "The Blood Beast Terror," "Carnage (1968)," "What Became of Jack and Jill?," and a 1973 television version of "The Portrait of Dorian Grey." She seemingly retired from acting afterwards. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 22:21:53 GMT Martine Beswick http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000936/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000936/ A two time Bond girl, the astonishing Beswick has numerous horror credits, most famously "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde," but also "Prehistoric Women," "One Million Years BC," Oliver Stone's "Seizure," "Devil Dog: The Hound from Hell," "Evil Spirits," "Trancers II," "Critters 4," and "Night of the Scarecrow."

She was indeed a babe back in the seventies. Her horror credits include Brian DePalma's "Sisters," ""Black Christmas, ""The Amityville Horror," Rob Zombie's "Halloween II," "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud," and "The Clown at Midnight," among others.

Bubbly, boisterous PJ Soles was always an exciting presence in films and willing to shed her clothes. A horror veteran of "Carrie," "Halloween," "Blood Bath," ""Uncle Sam" and "The Devil's Rejects." Also, "Rock n' Roll High School" which isn't a horror film but is still awesome. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:18:21 GMT Nancy Allen http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000262/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000262/ Long time muse of Brian DePalma, Allen was evil in "Carrie" but very sexy in "Dressed to Kill."

A minor scream queen, for sure, but a favorite of mine. Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:30:55 GMT Jamie Lee Curtis http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000130/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000130/ When the average person thinks of Scream Queen, they think of Jamie Lee Curtis.

Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:33:02 GMT Brigitte Lahaie http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0221321/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0221321/ I could probably fill an entire list with the beautiful, frequently nude woman that appeared in the arty, erotic films of Jean Rollin. However, I'll just let Brigitte Lahaie stand for all of them. She was the sexiest spectre of death ever in Rollin's "Fascination." Wed, 04 Jul 2012 23:34:37 GMT Carol Kane http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001406/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001406/ Most people probably wouldn't use the word "babe," but, I don't know, squeaky voiced Carol Kane has always kind of done it for me. Her scream queen status was confirmed with "When a Stranger Calls" and it's belated sequel "When a Stranger Calls Back." Kane has appeared in a number of horror comedies, like "Pandemonium," "Transylvania 6-5000," "Addams Family Value," and "Office Killer.

He later cast her in "The Fog" and "Escape from New York." A favorite of horror directors, Wes Craven used her in "Swamp Thing" while George Romero used her in "Creepshow" and "Two Evil Eyes." Maybe they hoped she'd marry them next. She also lent her sultry voice to Catwoman on the critically acclaimed "Batman: The Animated Series." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:37:03 GMT Kelly Nichols http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0629629/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0629629/ Before a long, successful career in pornography, Kelly Nichols, under her real name Marianne Walters, had maybe the most memorable scene in grindhouse classic "The Toolbox Murders." Non-porn credits after that are rare, though she was an extra in "CHUD" and appeared in something from 1992 called "Feast." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:33:21 GMT Shelley Duvall http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001167/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001167/ Wild abuse of the word "babe?" Probably, but I've always liked Shelley Duvall.

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:49:54 GMT Alice Krige http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000481/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000481/ Starting with a sexy turn in 1981's "Ghost Story," Alice Krige has been somewhat typecast as dangerous, authoritative women in "Sleepwalkers," "Silent Hill," "Stay Alive," 2001's "Superstition," and most famously as the Borg Queen in "Star Trek: First Contact" and various other spin-offs. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:46:25 GMT Carrick Glenn http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322577/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0322577/ Carrick Glenn was your typical slasher movie eye-candy in "The Burning."

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:48:27 GMT Kirsten Baker http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0048661/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0048661/ One shot in "Friday the 13th Part 2" shamelessly stares at Kirsten Baker's backside as they practically burst out of a tight pair of Daisy Duke shorts. Her only other horror credits are "Please Don't Eat the Babies?" and an uncredited bit part in Friedkin's "Cruising." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 15:54:36 GMT Nastassja Kinski http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000176/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000176/ I genuinely believe that, at one point in time, Nastassja Kinski was one of the most beautiful, desirable women in the world. This was well displayed in 1982's "Cat People," but also "To the Devil a Daughter," TV thriller "Blind Terror," and infamous stinker ".com for Murder." She's also the daughter of horror star and real life nutjob Klaus Kinski. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:51:16 GMT Lesleh Donaldson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0232129/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0232129/ Pretty Lesleh Donaldson had a four year run of cult horror films in the early eighties: "Funeral Home," "Deadly Eyes," "Happy Birthday to Me," and "Curtains."

But she's always been around the genre, playing frequently nude, usually bubble-headed blondes in "Don't Go Near the Park," "Graduation Day," "Silent Night Deadly Night," "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama!," "Night of the Demons," "Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers," "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4," and many, many more.

Fri, 06 Jul 2012 16:22:31 GMT Jodi Draigie http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0236822/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0236822/ Slasher fan favorite, "House on Sorority Row," is filled with lovely ladies, but my favorite is Jodi Draigie, who wears a killer, revealing black dress in the course of the film. It was her only role. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:03:29 GMT Drew Barrymore http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000106/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000106/ As a child star, Drew Berrymore starred in horror fare like "Firestarter" and "Cat's Eye." She bloomed into a babe with slinky thriller "Poison Ivy" and was reborn a star as the opening kill in "Scream." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:05:14 GMT Phoebe Cates http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000121/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000121/ Her scene in "Fast Times at Ridgemount High," you know the one, might be the most paused moment in VHS history, but horror fans know and love Phoebe for her part in the "Gremlins" series. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:13:18 GMT Amanda Wyss http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0944143/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0944143/ Nancy might have been the final girl in "A Nightmare on Elm Street" but Tina, as played by Amanda Wyss, was the really good looking one. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:15:03 GMT Judie Aronson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0036978/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0036978/ You'd think by the time "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" rolled around, the girls would have learned to stop going skinny dipping. Not that I'm complaining, since Judie Aronson was the easiest on the eyes in a movie full of nice girls. She also had a tiny role in "Hannibal." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:18:44 GMT Barbara Crampton http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0186225/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0186225/ The head-giving-head scene is one of those legendary horror sequences and Barbara Crampton role in it is part of the reason why. This horror hottie was a favorite of director Stuart Gordon, who cast her in "From Beyond," "Castle Freak," and "Space Truckers." Other genre credits include "Puppet Master," "Chopping Mall," "Robot Wars," "Body Double," ""Trancers II," "You're Next" and "Lords of Salem." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:46:55 GMT Jennifer Beals http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000884/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000884/ Most famous for "Flashdance," Jennifer Beals has dabbled in horror. First she played a new version of the Bride of Frankenstein in "The Bride" before driving Nicolas Cage crazy in "Vampire's Kiss." Later came the sequels "The Prophecy II" and "The Grudge II." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:23:12 GMT Jennifer Connelly http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000124/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000124/ Starring in Argento's "Phenomena" as a teenager, Connelly grew up into a sex symbol in the late eighties and early nineties. Her other horror roles are pretty much limited to J-horror remake "Dark Waters." (And "Requiem for a Dream" is a horror film of sorts.) Her Bettie Page-inspired look in "The Rocketeer" is awfully nice though. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:26:17 GMT Debi Sue Voorhees http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0903382/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0903382/ The ironically named Debi Sue Voorhees gave the audience an eyefull in the otherwise forgettable "Friday the 13th: A New Beginning." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:28:51 GMT Mathilda May http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000528/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000528/ Mathilda May's feature length nude scene in "Lifeforce" as a space vampire is the stuff of eighties schlock-horror legend. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:30:41 GMT Kristy Swanson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001785/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001785/ First making an impression on horror fans with Wes Craven's underrated "Deadly Friend" and overheated gothic melodrama "Flowers in the Attic," Kristy Swanson would later blossomed into a real babe with parts in delirous dark fantasy "Highway to Hell" and the original "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." She's started recently appearing in direct-to-video and television work like "Red Water," "The Black Hole," "Swamp Shark" and the actually not bad "Living Death." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:34:45 GMT Caroline Williams http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0930226/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0930226/ As hot DJ Stretch in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part II," Caroline Williams led Leatherface to a sexual awakening. A horror sequel favorite, Williams went on to appear in "Stepfather II," "Leprechaun 3," an uncredited cameo in "Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3," Rob Zombie's "Halloween II," and a recent spat of films like "The Unleashed," "Hatchet III," "Don't Go in the Basement!," and "Tales of Poe." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:38:46 GMT Jennifer Jason Leigh http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000492/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000492/ When I first saw "The Hitcher," I immediately fell for Jennifer Jason Leigh's tough girl character. Though not strictly a horror actress, Leigh has appeared in genre fare as varied as "Single White Female," "Dolores Claiborne," "eXisTenz," "The Machinist," and did some voice work on the "Spawn" animated series. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:43:15 GMT Isabella Rossellini http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000618/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000618/ Exotic, eccentric Isabella Rossellini has attracted the attention of other eccentric minds, like David Lynch ("Blue Velvet," "Wild at Heart") and Guy Maddin. ("The Saddest Music in the World," "Keyhole") Also worth checking out is her online short series, "Green Porno," which illustrates animal mating habits in hilarious, homemade ways. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:47:31 GMT Ellen Greene http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0338746/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0338746/ I surely can't be the only person around who thought Ellen Greene's Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors" was some sort of adorable, fragile cutey-pie? Maybe. Further genre work includes "Killer: A Journal of Murder," a bit part in indie "Love Object" and episodes of "The X-Files" and "Heroes." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:50:35 GMT Tawny Kitaen http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000478/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000478/ Aside from writhing on a car in that Whitesnake video, Tawny Kitaen also showed off her... talent in underrated eighties horror flick "Witchboard" and S&M-influenced Indiana Jones spoof "Gwendoline." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:53:12 GMT Jill Whitlow http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0926114/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0926114/ As Cindy Cronenberg in cult classic "Night of the Creeps," Jill Whitlow made the combo of a prom dress and a flamethrower work. She also showed up in "Twice Dead" and episode of "Freddy's Nightmares" and "Swamp Thing." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:55:18 GMT Darcy DeMoss http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0218674/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0218674/ She didn't show the goods in "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives!," but her love scene is memorable never the less. Darcy DeMoss also appeared in "Return to Horror High," HBO's 1997 remake of "A Bucket of Blood" and a series of softcore videos in the late nineties. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 17:59:18 GMT Jenny Wright http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0942486/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0942486/ Horror fans world over fell in love with Jenny Wright in "Near Dark." This adorable but seductive actress also starred in "I, Madman," and "The Lawnmower Man." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:02:37 GMT Wendy Lyon http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0528994/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0528994/ Possessed by the spirit of an evil prom queen, Wendy Lyon had a surprisingly graphic lesbian scene in "Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II." Besides a single episode of "Friday the 13th: The Series," Lyon is probably best known these days for her voice work on the English dub of "Sailor Moon." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:05:14 GMT Lisa Schrage http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0775076/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0775076/ And then there's Mary Lou herself, Lisa Schrage, who also appeared in "Gnaw: Food of the Gods II" and some assorted genre television work, like the eighties revivals of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" and "The Twilight Zone." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:07:23 GMT Patricia Arquette http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000099/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000099/ I've always found Patricia Arquette to be incredibly hot and she's certainly never shown any reluctance in revealing her body. She has a healthy body of horror work, like "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors," one of my favorite episodes of "Tales from the Crypt," "Nightwatch," "Lost Highway," "Stigmata," "Ed Wood," and the supernatural cop procedural "Medium." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:16:34 GMT Jill Schoelen http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0774337/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0774337/ Jill Schoelen followed up her breakout performances in "The Stepfather" and Wes Craven's TV movie "Chiller" with an odd ball string of horror films in the late eighties: "Curse 2: The Bite," "Cutting Class," "Phantom of the Opera" with Robert England, "Popcorn," and "When a Stranger Calls Back." Her girl next door looks and naturalistic acting has won her a small but devoted group of fans. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:10:48 GMT Clare Higgins http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0383354/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0383354/ Seductive and murderous in "Hellraiser" and "Hellbound: Hellraiser II," Clare Higgins didn't let her slightly older age or her lack of skin (in the second film) stop her from being sexy. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:40:06 GMT Ashley Bank http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0052037/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0052037/ I ran into Ashley Bank at a horror convention recently and, WOW, Phoebe the Feeb from "Monster Squad" is all grown up! I hope to see her in more stuff soon. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:12:31 GMT Cassandra Peterson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005308/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005308/ Cassandra Peterson's alter-ego Elvira defined for an entire generation of fans what a Horror Babe was. It wasn't just her buxom body and low cut dresses that drew in her fans, but also her sharp wit and comedic timing. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:22:14 GMT Winona Ryder http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000213/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000213/ One of the earliest celebrity crushes I can remember having, Winona Ryder hooked me early with her goth turns in "Beetlejuice" and dark comedy "Heathers." Her friendship with Tim Burton has also produced "Edward Scissorhands" and "Frankenweenie." Other horror credits include "Bram Stoker's Dracula," "Alien: Resurrection," "Lost Souls," and "Black Swan." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:26:25 GMT Amanda Donohoe http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000372/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000372/ Amanda Donohoe's turn as a snake-woman/vampire thing in Ken Russell's "Lair of the White Worm" was all about seduction and sex. She filled the role fantastically. Tue, 14 May 2013 21:23:04 GMT Betsy Russell http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0751018/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0751018/ Though she had an early starring role in exploitation-vigilante thriller "Avenging Angel," lovely Betsy Russell really gained a cult following for her starring turn in 1988's slasher favorite "Cheerleader Camp." A while later she starred in a sort-of sequel "Camp Fear." She came back to horror fan's attention with a reoccurring supporting role in the "Saw" franchise, starting with "Saw III," and continuing through to "Saw: The Final Chapter." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:27:48 GMT Pamela Springsteen http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0819805/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0819805/ Felicity Rose was no slouch in the first "Sleepaway Camp," but my heart belongs to the sarcastic sequel and adorable Pamela Springsteen's take on the character. Sunny, cheery, and relentlessly up-beat even when murdering campers, Springsteen's Angela is also characterized by a subtle melancholy, a longing to make camp a nice place. Springsteen has since retired from acting to focus on a career as a photographer. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:31:26 GMT Valerie Hartman http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0367037/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0367037/ Speaking of "Sleepaway Camp II!" Valerie Hartman played Ally, the mean girl who slept around a lot. Aside from getting the nastiest death in the film, she also has an incredibly steamy sex scene. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:32:42 GMT Amelia Kinkade http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0455637/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0455637/ What's the other eighties horror franchise with a killer named Angela? Amelia Kinkade played demonic goth girl in "Night of the Demons," where she did a very famous dance number to Bauhaus' "Stigmata Martyr." I like the first film but I don't think Kinkade came into her own as an actress until the sequels. She also appeared in "My Best Friend is a Vampire." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:35:06 GMT Danielle Harris http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0364583/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0364583/ First appearing as a young girl in "Halloween 4" and 5, Harris reemerged into the horror scene with Rob Zombie's "Halloween" remake. She quickly become a genre mainstay with films like "Stake Land," "Hatchet II," "ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2," and "Cyrus: Mind of a Serial Killer." And, yes, she is quite the babe. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:44:59 GMT Meg Foster http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001236/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001236/ Piercing eyes and cold beauty made Meg Foster a memorable presence in films like "They Live," "Leviathan," "Stepfather II," "Oblivion" and "Masters of the Universe." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:58:23 GMT Tamara Glynn http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0323372/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0323372/ The "Halloween" franchise has never been about exploitation as much as the "Friday the 13th" series but part five did give us Tamara Glynn in a slinky devil costume and writhing love scene. The actress also did an episode of "Freddy's Nightmares." Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:41:19 GMT Shawnee Smith http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809938/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809938/ Early appearances in the good remake of "The Blob" and the crappy remake of "Carnival of Souls" established Shawnee Smith as a horror star but, following her extensive role in the "Saw" franchise, she's become much more visible in the fandom. Fri, 06 Jul 2012 18:54:50 GMT Kathryn O'Reilly http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0642457/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0642457/ Kathryn O'Reilly's bounding body added the "sex" part of the "sex and violence" equation crucial to the success of Full Moon's "Puppet Master." Before that, she acted in "Jack's Back" and "Saturday the 14th Strikes Back." Tue, 14 May 2013 21:32:27 GMT Stacey Travis http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006826/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006826/ Stacey Travis is probably best known as the lovely, frequently nude, redheaded final girl in odd-ball sci-fi slasher "Hardware." Her horror credits go deeper then that, with early roles in "Phantasm II," "Deadly Dreams," "Doctor Hackenstein," and later appearances in "Dracula Rising," TV movie "Paranormal Girl," two episodes of "Angel," and 2005's "Venom." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:31:35 GMT Jodie Foster http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000149/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000149/ I include Jodie Foster for two reasons. 1) In the 1990s, there's no horror heroine that stands out more then Clarence Starling in "The Silence of the Lambs." 2) My Dad has always had a huge crush on her for some reason, so consider her inclusion her as something of an in-joke. Other genre work includes "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane," "Panic Room," and voicing Pugsly Addams on the '70s cartoon version of "The Addams Family." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:29:42 GMT Patricia Tallman http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0848191/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0848191/ An association with George Romero from small roles in "Knightriders," "Monkey Shines," and an episode of "Tales from the Dark Side" got Patricia Tallman the beefed-up, actionized role of Barbara in 1991's remake of "Night of the Living Dead." Tallman wore a tight t-shirt and a shotgun very well. Future horror credits include "Army of Darkness," ""InAlienable," and "Dead Air." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:49:19 GMT Sheryl Lee http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0498247/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0498247/ Laura Palmer herself, Sheryl Lee spent most of her time on David Lynch's cult TV show "Twin Peaks" as a corpse, wrapped in plastic. It wasn't until the theatrically-released prequel "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me" that she got to show off her acting chops. She later worked with John Carpenter in "Vampires" and showed up in the recent true-crime thriller, "Texas Killing Fields." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:53:11 GMT Sherilyn Fenn http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000145/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000145/ The other "Twin Peaks" babe, Sherilyn Fenn melted hearts as the seductive Audrey Horn. Fenn has appeared in plenty of horror material even before "Peaks," like killer car flick "The Wraith," "Zombie High," "Meridian," infamous flop "Boxing Helena," "The Shadow Men," episodes of "Tales from the Crypt" and "The Outer Limits." She was most recently found in Syfy Channel original "Bigfoot." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:34:20 GMT Christina Ricci http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000207/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000207/ Christina Ricci's status as the eerie, dark haired goth siren for a new generation was confirmed by early roles in "The Addams Family," "Addams Family Values," and "Casper." She branched out into more serious horror roles with "Sleepy Hollow," "Bless the Child," "The Gathering," "Cursed," "Monster," and "After.Life." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:35:58 GMT Monica Bellucci http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000899/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000899/ Jaw-dropping European beauty Monica Bellucci first came to horror fans' attention as one of Dracula's brides in "Bram Stoker's Dracula." Splitting time between Hollywood blockbusters and the French art house has seen Bellucci appear in a few horror films, like "Brotherhood of the Wolf," "Sheitan," and the infamous, punishing "Irreversible." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:40:57 GMT Virginia Madsen http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000515/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000515/ It's sometimes easy to forget that Virginia Madsen is an Oscar nominated actress when you look at some of the schlock she's been in. "Candyman" is a classic, of course, and one of the best horror films of the 1990s, but you'd be hard pressed to say the same about "Zombie High," "Highlander II," "The Prophecy," the CGI-filled remake of "The Haunting," "The Number 23," "The Haunting in Connecticut," and would-be "Twilight," "Red Riding Hood." Character actresses have to eat too, I suppose. Her blood soaked nude scene in "Candyman" sent confused messages to many a viewer. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:42:23 GMT Melinda Clarke http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0164918/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0164918/ Out of all the horror archetypes, you'd think zombies would be the hardest one to sex up. Not too hard, as Mindy Clarke proved in "Return of the Living Dead III" as fetishistic, undead babe Julie Walker. Clarke went onto "Spawn," ".com for Murder," and numerous episodes of genre TV shows like "Tremors: The Series," "Reaper," "Ghost Whisperer," and "The Vampire Diaries." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:39:02 GMT Lisa Marie http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0547273/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0547273/ Lovely model Lisa Marie used to be Tim Burton's girlfriend. That's how she got notable, sexy parts like Vampira in "Ed Wood," the Martian Babe in "Mars Attacks!," and Icabod's witchy mom in "Sleepy Hollow." After splitting with the director, Marie has become a regular on the horror convention circuit and signed on for recent flicks "Lords of Salem" and quasi-remake "Silent Night." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:45:02 GMT Gloria Lynne Henry http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0377840/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0377840/ Don Coscarelli has always been pretty good about getting at least one hottie into each of the "Phantasm" films. Gloria Lynne Henry as spunky, sexy Rocky filled that role in "Phantasm III: Lord of the Dead." Ms. Henry also appeared in "The Devil's Advocate." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:16:49 GMT Michelle Clunie http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0167342/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0167342/ Michelle Clunie has the dubious distinction of appearing in the most graphic sex scene in the "Friday the 13th" series, in 1993's "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:47:31 GMT Lori Petty http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001614/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001614/ I've always loved punky, unconventional Lori Petty, ever since her starring role in "Tank Girl." Her horror roles are limited to TV movies like "Bates Motel" and "Route 666" and guest spots on "The Twilight Zone," "Freddy's Nightmares," "Brimstone," "The Hunger," and "Masters of Horror." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:01:41 GMT Natasha Henstridge http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000449/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000449/ Platinum babe Natasha Henstridge started her career with steamy a-good-reason-for-safe-sex alien flick, "Species." Aside from appearing in two sequels to that film, she also starred in "Ghosts of Mars" and hosted urban legend based docu-series "Mostly True Stories." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:46:34 GMT Anna Falchi http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001197/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001197/ In the fantastic, dreamy "Cemetery Man," Anna Falchi embodied most every aspect of womanhood as "She," the beautiful woman that haunts the main character. Buxom, exotic Falchi possesses an amazingly self-assured sexiness. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 21:58:41 GMT Asia Argento http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000782/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000782/ Simmering sexpot Asia Argento defines "Horror Babe" for many fans. She's absolutely gorgeous. Born into the horror business, she's done numerous films for her dad, like "Demons 2," "The Church," "Trauma," "The Stendhal Syndrome," "Phantom of the Opera," "Mother of Tears," and "Dracula 3D." She's also appeared in "Love Bites" and "Land of the Dead," as well as starting her own directing career. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:23:20 GMT Salma Hayek http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000161/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000161/ Was Salma Hayek the sexiest vampire ever in "From Dusk til Dawn?" Perhaps. She played Esmeralda in 1997's "The Hunchback" before appearing in "The Faculty" and "Cirque de Freak: The Vampire's Assistant," where she was still hot even as a bearded lady. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:03:40 GMT Neve Campbell http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000117/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000117/ I was reluctant to include Neve Campbell, since I've never really liked her, but her role as Sidney in the "Scream" series helped revive the slasher genre in the late nineties. She's done plenty of other work in the horror genre as well. Starting with 1993's "The Dark" and an episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?," she went on to "The Canterville Ghost," "The Craft," and "Reeper Madness: The Movie Musical." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:08:33 GMT Rose McGowan http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000535/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000535/ If we're talking "Scream" babes, I'd much rather take Rose McGowan. (Though I'm not exactly a big fan of her either.) Aside from campy supernatural-soap "Charmed," Ms. McGowan has also been seen in both halves of "Grindhouse," "The Doom Generation," "Nowhere," "Phantoms," "Monkeybone," "Dead Awake," and "Rosewood Lane." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:05:20 GMT Fairuza Balk http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000103/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000103/ With piercing blue eyes and gothy good looks, Fairuza made an impression as the villain in "The Craft." She had been involved with witches before as a child actress in kindertrauma classic "Return to Oz" and "The Worst Witch." Further credits include playing the panther girl in the worst version of "The Island of Dr. Moreau" and a pretty good episode of "Masters of Horror." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:10:31 GMT Jennifer Love Hewitt http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001349/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001349/ Most people probably wouldn't argue that Jennifer Love Hewitt is a babe, even if her horror credits are questionable. (And the less said about her music career, the better.) Her only real notable genre work is "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and it's sequel, as well as supernatural-tinged cop show "Ghost Whisperer." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:13:20 GMT Sarah Michelle Gellar http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001264/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001264/ Another actress I'm not exactly a huge fan of who, never the less, has contributed plenty to the genre. Aside from groundbreaking TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," Gellar also screamed in "Scream 2," "I Know What You Did Last Summer," "The Grudge" 1 and 2, "The Return," "Possession," and I guess the "Scooby-Doo" movies kind of count too. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:08:28 GMT Clea DuVall http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0245112/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0245112/ Don't judge me, okay? Clea DuVall does it for me. I've liked it whenever she's shown up, in horror films like "The Faculty," "The Astronaut's Wife," "Ghosts of Mars," "Identity," "The Grudge," a new version of "Helter Skelter," "Zodiac," and "Anamorph." TV work includes "Carnivale" and voicing the invisible girl on that episode of "Buffy." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:51:42 GMT Meredith Snaider http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810874/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0810874/ In Larry Fessenden's modern vampire film "Habit," Meredith Snaider played a seductive but ultimately destructive undead demon. It's her only role. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:18:18 GMT Charlize Theron http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000234/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000234/ Blonde babe Charlize Theron has got a few horror roles of note. Her first part was an uncredited bit in "Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest," before the remake of "Mighty Joe Young," "The Astronaut's Wife," "The Devil's Advocate," and "Trapped" happened. She won an Oscar for true crime biopic "Monster" and recently appeared in post-apocalyptic epic "The Road" and Ridley Scott's "Prometheus." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:53:13 GMT Jennifer Tilly http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000236/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000236/ Jennifer Tilly's low-cut tops in "Bride of Chucky" made an impression. She also appeared in the sequel "Seed of Chucky." Before those, the hottest of the Tilly sisters showed up in 1988's "Remote Control," "High Spirits," "Embrace of the Vampire," and "The Caretaker." Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:04:44 GMT Debbie Rochon http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004193/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004193/ A Tromette who has gone on to a prolific career in super low-budget horror flicks, Rochon's game personality, comedic timing, and willingness to get nude has lended itself to films like "Santa Claws," "Hanger," "Slime City Massacre," "Satan Hates You," "The Theatre Bizarre," the "Mulva" series, and god knows how many more. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 22:26:21 GMT Eihi Shiina http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0793402/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0793402/ Despite cutting off a dude's foot with piano wire in "Audition," Eihi Shiina is still pretty hot. She's recently started appearing in over-the-top Japanese gore flicks like "Tokyo Gore Police," "Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl," and "Helldriver." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:12:17 GMT Thora Birch http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000301/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000301/ It's not a horror film but Thora Birch was so incredibly hot in "Ghost World" and honestly kind of plain in everything else. Hmm. Legit horror credits include "The Hole," "Dark Corners" and "Train." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:13:51 GMT Nicole Kidman http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000173/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000173/ It's a shame her face is seemingly made of plastic now because at one point Nicole Kidman was a truly glamorous leading lady. Her only real horror credit is the throwback to English ghost stories of old, "The Others," but you can kind of fudge "Dead Calm," "Practical Magic," "Trespass," the crappy "Stepford Wives" remake, and "Stoker." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:16:30 GMT Naomi Watts http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0915208/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0915208/ The other Australian actress who once reminded us of the classic beauties of Hollywood's golden age, Watts had an early role in "Children of the Corn 4" before giving an impressive, emotionally barring performance in David Lynch's "Mulholland Dr." She's since appeared in "The Ring" one and two, "Stay," "King Kong," "Funny Games," and "Dream House." She was rumored to star in a remake of "The Birds" at one point as well. Sat, 06 Oct 2012 22:00:17 GMT Tiffany Shepis http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0791898/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0791898/ Getting her start at Troma Films, Shepis has lent her talent and beauty to countless low-budget horror films, like "Ted Bundy," "Scarecrow," "Bloody Murder 2," "Delta Delta Die," "Zombies! Zombies! Zombies!," "Nightmare Man," "Night of the Demons," "Home Sick," "Bryan Loves You" and many, many others. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:19:58 GMT Emily Perkins http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0673932/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0673932/ Emily Perkins had early appearances in "IT" and an episode of "The X-Files" but it was "Ginger Snaps" that made her a horror mainstay. She appeared in two sequels to that film as well as "Blood: A Butcher's Tale" and a reoccurring part on "Supernatural." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:21:03 GMT Katharine Isabelle http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0410622/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0410622/ The "Gingers Snaps" series also launched Katharine Isabelle to the front of the horror genre. Her various credits include "Disturbing Behavior," "Freddy vs. Jason," "Bones," the remake of "Carrie," "Ogre," "30 Days of Night: Dark Days," "American Mary," and lots of TV work like "Goosebumps," "Ray Bradbury Theater," "The X-Files," "Night Visions," "The Outer Limits," and "Supernatural." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:30:29 GMT Shannon Elizabeth http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002436/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002436/ An It-Girl for all of five minutes, Shannon Elizabeth has got a weird face but a nice body. She's done horror movies like "Thirteen Ghosts," "Cursed," the "Night of the Demons" remake, and spoof "Scary Movie." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:32:29 GMT Patricia Clarkson http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0165101/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0165101/ Patricia Clarkson's demure respectability sometimes makes it easy to overlook just how attractive she is. She's done all different types of movies including horror, most notably "Wendigo," the "Carrie" remake, "The Woods," and "Shutter Island." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:34:50 GMT Macarena Gómez http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1296762/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1296762/ About Macarena Gomez' turn as a tentacled mermaid in "Dagon," a friend of mine once said, "I'd be willing to turn into a fish monster for her." She also had an uncredited part in unconventional werewolf film "Romasanta." (AKA "Werewolf Hunter.") Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:37:59 GMT Angela Bettis http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0079374/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0079374/ I love "May." It's one of my favorite films. Angela Bettis is nothing short of extraordinary in it. She's also very good in the remake of "Carrie," Lucky McKee's episode of "Masters of Horror," and "The Woman." She also directed "Roman," an inversion of "May." Sadly, her talent has been underused in lesser horror films like "Bless the Child," "Toolbox Murders," "Wicked Lake," and "Scar." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:41:28 GMT Anna Faris http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0267506/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0267506/ Anna Faris is probably best known for the "Scary Movie" series and appearing in a number of other low-brow comedies that are far beneath her talent level. As lipstick lesbian Polly in "May," she showed off some dramatic chops you might not know about. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:43:12 GMT Eliza Dushku http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0244630/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0244630/ Eliza Dushku first became noted for her bad girl part on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel." That's led to a leading role in "Wrong Turn" and indie horror fare like "The Alphabet Killer" and "Open Graves." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:44:58 GMT Sheri Moon Zombie http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0600667/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0600667/ As long as Rob Zombie is making movies and music videos, Sheri Moon is never going to suffer for work. Rob cast her in "House of 1000 Corpses," "The Devil's Rejects," "Halloween," "Halloween II," his segment of "Grindhouse," "The Spooky World of El Superbeasto," and "Lords of Salem." Her only non-husband directed role is a small part in the remake of the "Toolbox Murders." Wed, 05 Dec 2012 21:24:59 GMT Milla Jovovich http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000170/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000170/ I don't like Milla. The "Resident Evil" movies are hot garbage, an excuse for her husband to turn her into an unstoppable killing machine, almost totally unrelated to the game series, and bafflingly popular. As bad as they are, "Ultraviolent" actually made them look Oscar-worthy in comparison. She's a wooden actress, totally lacking in any sort of charisma, and I personally don't find her attractive at all. Flat-chested and vacant-faced, to be frank. <br/><br/>But I suppose she's one of the leading actors of the genre right now, for better or (mostly) worst. Other horror credits include "The Fourth Kind," "The Perfect Getaway," and "Faces in the Crowd." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:57:32 GMT Kate Beckinsale http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000295/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000295/ Listen, I'm not a fan of the "Underworld" series. Those movies are mall-goth style-over-substance nonsense. But Kate Beckinsale wears her tight leather outfit quite nicely. For a fact, considering the only film in the series without her bombed, I'm convinced that's the only reason the movies make any money. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:47:25 GMT Bryce Dallas Howard http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0397171/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0397171/ "The Village" and "Lady in the Water" aren't very good movies. Which is a shame because behind those pausing ethereal good looks, Bryce Dallas Howard is actually a talented actress. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:49:43 GMT Elizabeth Banks http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006969/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006969/ Another modern actress with old school Hollywood good looks, Banks has great comedic timing as well. Her genre credits are "Slither" and "The Uninvited." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:50:46 GMT Ellen Page http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0680983/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0680983/ I immediately fell in love with Ellen Page because of the smoldering intensity displayed in "Hard Candy." Page is best known for mainstream work like "Juno" or "Inception," but she also does indie work, some of it bordering horror, like true crime film "An American Crime" or gonzo-superhero spit-take "Super." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:52:51 GMT Taylor M. Dooley http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2008941/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2008941/ "KatieBird* Certifiable Crazy Person" is a seriously underseen film. Taylor M. Dooley gives an amazingly intense performance. She's cute, too. Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:53:57 GMT Wendy Kremer http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0470799/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0470799/ Exploitation throw-back "2001 Maniacs" had a number of attractive young ladies on display, but Wendy Kremer is the one that interested me the most... At least until she put her braces in. Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:14:22 GMT Misty Mundae http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0612691/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0612691/ With her pale skin, striking blue eyes, and thin, natural curves, Misty Mundae made many of the softcore skin flicks she starred in easy to watch, despite the low budget or lousy writing. Many of those, like "Lust for Dracula" or "An Erotic Werewolf in London," were horror themed. Under her real name of Erin Brown, she's been trying to break into more mainstream acting, with horror films like "The Rage," "The Lost," and most notably, Lucky McKee's episode of "Masters of Horror." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:55:22 GMT Zoe Bell http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1057928/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1057928/ Tarantino was so impressed with Zoe Bell's stunt work on "Kill Bill" that he gave her a leading role in his half of "Grindhouse," "Death Proof." There's nothing sexier then a strong woman. Her only other genre credit, so far, is "Bitch Slap." Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:04:45 GMT Mary Elizabeth Winstead http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935541/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935541/ Talented, glamorous Mary Elizabeth Winstead hasn't taken your typical Hollywood actress route so far. "The Ring Two," "Final Destination 3," "Black Christmas," "Grindhouse," "The Thing," and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" are her horror roles but she was at her sexiest in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." Sat, 07 Jul 2012 23:59:55 GMT Jess Weixler http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1422176/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1422176/ Her big eyes and expressive face makes Jess Weixler a girl-next-door cutie, even if her best known role in "Teeth" might make you reluctant to romance her. Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:01:21 GMT Minase Yashiro http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2780824/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2780824/ A Japanese school girl with a machine gun arm bloodily blowing away armies of goons in "The Machine Girl" probably hits the sweet spot for lots of horror fans. I know it did me. Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:10:05 GMT Anna Paquin http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001593/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001593/ The youngest Oscar winner, Anna Paquin has done a few horror films, including "Darkness," "Trick r' Treat," "Open House," and "Scream 4." She's found her widest success as the main character on trashy vampire soap opera "True Blood." Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:02:50 GMT Béatrice Dalle http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001095/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001095/ Something of an Angelina Jolie figure in her native France, Beatrice Dalle is best known in the west for her sinister role as an emotionless killer in intense gorefest "Inside." She reteamed with the same directors for the upcoming "Livid." Sat, 25 Aug 2012 15:45:00 GMT Diora Baird http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1401531/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1401531/ Blonde, busty, and glamorous, Diora Baird has appeared in a few horror films. Most notably, the "Night of the Demons" remake, but also "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning" and the lousy parody "Stan Helsing." Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:13:04 GMT Julianna Guill http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1566474/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1566474/ Say what you will about the "Friday the 13th" remake, but it didn't skimp on the exploitation. Among several of the undressed, hot young women in the film, Julianna Guill was the most memorable. And, yes, they are stupendous. Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:07:16 GMT Leslie Andrews http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1988488/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1988488/ Low budget shocker "Sick Girl" was really just a display for young, talented Leslie Andrews, who is herself a big horror fan. Sun, 08 Jul 2012 00:08:54 GMT Pollyanna McIntosh http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1717573/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1717573/ Underneath all the grime she wore as the title character in "The Woman" and its prequel "Offspring," Pollyanna McIntosh really is a beautiful woman. I hope she appears in a lot more stuff in the future. Thu, 02 May 2013 01:17:48 GMT Sara Paxton http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0668139/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0668139/ With her bright blue eyes and slight figure, Sara Paxton has brought girl-next-door looks and charms to a few horror flicks. Early roles include an episode of "Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction?," Disney Channel original "Return to Halloweentown," the meh remake of "Last House on the Left," the very good "The Innkeepers," and the awful "Shark Night 3D." Hopefully, better things await her in the future.
