chances are you've heard of Freddy
Krueger but would you recognize actor
Robert Englund if you passed him in the
street he's not a bad-looking dude much
easier on the eyes than old Freddy in
fact the actors who play some horror
movie villains are actually gorgeous in
real life see for yourself
sofia boutella The Mummy it was supposed
to kick-start an all-new cinematic
universe but 2017 s The Mummy unraveled
pretty quickly it got off on the right
foot when sofia boutella was introduced
as princess on the net but in the end
this reboot simply wasn't as fun as the
1999 brendan fraiser version part of the
problem may have been the lack of The
Mummy herself with boo telescreen time
paling in comparison to her co-star Tom
Cruise telling me this morning how
scared they were Anna made me so happy
the Mummy's negative reviews and poor
box office numbers left the future of
the dark universe in doubt but for all
the bad press who tell us dedication to
the project was never in doubt in fact
the algerian actress just so happened to
be a huge fan of universals classic
monster movies growing up she told the
independent if you look at the original
ones they're interesting profound
metaphors before the mummy boot ella was
a backup dancer for Madonna and Rihanna
and she has appeared in other films such
as Kingsman the Secret Service and
atomic blonde Bill skarsgård it hiring
an actor who moonlights as a model only
to cover him and makeup might seem
pointless but bill skarsgård wasn't cast
as penny wise the dancing clown in the
2017 adaptation of Stephen King's it
because of his good looks
the Swedish actor brought a whole new
level of intensity to the character
setting his Pennywise apart from the
earlier Tim Curry version getting into
the right mindset for the role was
difficult for scar scar he found it even
harder to shake it off after the film
wrapped he told Entertainment Weekly I
was home done with the movie and I
started having very strange and vivid
Pennywise dreams part of penny wise says
that he hates the kids and it's so much
anger and most clowns do yes
Vonnie aaron's the nun billed as the
darkest chapter in the conjuring
universe the nun caused a lot of height
but ultimately failed to impress it
scored the lowest tomato meter of any
conjuring universe film to date but
according to lead actress taissa farmiga
the title character was plenty scary
Farmiga revealed that Bonnie Aaron's
would go out of her way to scare her
between takes often sneaking up behind
her in the terrifying nun getup worn by
her character the demon Valek Erin's had
a blast on set and to make her look so
scary it apparently didn't take as much
effort as you might imagine she
explained a coma music magazine that she
actually wasn't wearing that much makeup
as it was strategically painted on I'm
their hand-painted Mona Lisa Ken
Kirzinger Freddy vs. Jason man-mountain
can curse on your once played college
football for the University of British
Columbia but he decided to get into
stunt work after suffering a bad knee
injury he secretly hoped his stunt
performances would lead to him being
discovered but he had no idea his very
modest involvement in the Friday the
13th franchise would cause such a ruckus
the actor has admitted that his favorite
role is horror icon Jason Voorhees he
first donned the hockey mask in 1989 s
Jason Takes Manhattan
as a stunt double and also appeared in
that film as one of Jason's victims he
banked his stuntman checks and forgot
all about the character until he was
offered the chance to play him for real
as far as being afraid of it I mean you
gotta remember I'm a stuntman so so I'm
used to doing stuff I'm you know that's
a little iffy when Kirzinger played
Jason in 2003's Freddy vs. Jason he
didn't realize it was such a big deal
but he soon became appreciative of the
fan response the faceoff nature of this
particular movie meant that cursing or
even got the chance to act heroic for a
moment decapitating Robert England's
Freddy Krueger in the closing moments
bonny Morgan rings a young Devey chase
played creepy girl Samara in 2002's the
ring and appeared in 2005's the ring too
via archive footage but the majorly
creepy stuff in the sequel came courtesy
of contortionist Bonnie Morgan the
studio initially intended to use special
effects for some key Samara scenes but
the stunt coordinator was a friend of
Morgan's and suggested they use her
instead speaking of one iconic scene
Morgan told bloody
disgusting the spider walk originated on
my living room floor and we shot some
footage of it and the director could not
have been more excited with the result
the word Morgan did on the ring too led
to her getting the part full time when
an unexpected sequel was greenlit years
later a decade had passed since the last
movie and Morgan had almost given up any
hope of reprising the role but she was
back at her Bendi best in 2017 s rings
for three free contact lenses and the
wig 45 appliances but who's counting
right Paul T Taylor Hellraiser judgment
he had zero lines but Paul T Taylor was
still thrilled to make his big screen
debut in Robert Rodriguez's neo-noir
classic Sin City in 2005 Moore bit parts
followed but Taylor was forced to put
his career in life on hold after he was
diagnosed with hepatitis C the disease
became hard to deal with and Taylor
succumbed to depression thoughts of
taking his own life began to cross his
mind but before he had a chance to do
anything drastic a new drug helped
Taylor recover he started auditioning
again and one day he received a script
simply titled judgment as a Hellraiser
fan he saw through the ruse from the
first line Taylor knew that this was a
Hellraiser movie he ended up being
offered the role of pinhead after the
legendary Doug Bradley refused to
reprise the role Sheri moon zombie Lords
of Salem Sheri moon zombie and her
husband Rob Zombie have collaborated on
a handful of horror movies over the
years the first of which was 2003 House
of a thousand corpses this shameless
throwback to the exploitation films of
the 1970s was truly disturbing and Sheri
moon stole the show at the crazed baby
Firefly she reprised the role in 2005's
The Devil's Rejects
this disturbing sequel places baby right
at the center of the carnage zombie was
essentially playing a psychotic version
of herself so there wasn't much of a
physical transformation needed but that
wasn't the case when the married couple
worked together again on 2012's Lords of
Salem zombie stars as a recovering drug
addict who falls in lead with the devil
after becoming involved with a coven of
witches for the role she agreed to have
her hair in dreadlocks and sit through
the application of several fake tattoos
not to mention some intricate face paint
it was only one actor that had a nervous
breakdown when new pages arrived
me yes you
Jonathan Breck jeepers creepers it's not
uncommon for horror sequels to arrive
suddenly out of the blue with that in
mind jeepers creepers 3 was released in
2017 more than a decade after the first
two it took place between the events of
the first two films with Jonathan Breck
returning to play the villainous creeper
the original jeepers creepers divided
critical opinion upon release but
quickly gained a cult following with the
creeper catching the imagination of
horror fans according to the man
underneath the make up his entire
transformation takes between three and
five hours the only parts of himself
that he can see when he looks in the
mirror during the makeup application are
his eyes but he's far from uncomfortable
in the creeper getup it's really great
to watch the process it's a layering
process by the time they're done I am
somebody else Breck's physical
dedication to the role goes beyond
sitting in the makeup chair as he
revealed to IGN that he did a lot of his
own stunt work on jeepers creepers 3 to
save money when I look in the mirror
I've got it both dub you know three
times the size I normally am you just
feel like there's nothing you can't do
you know I'm the creeper when I'm suited
up
