A-List Actors Who Got Their Start in Horror Movies
Several A-list actors started their careers in horror movies, often with low-budget films, before achieving mainstream success.
Notable among them is Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred as Laurie Strode in the original 1978 Halloween and reprised the role in numerous sequels, including the recent reboot trilogy. She also made cameo appearances in Halloween 3: The Season of the Witch, which deviated from the Michael Myers storyline.
Curtis went on to appear in hits like Trading Places, A Fish Called Wanda, and True Lies, before winning an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Despite her success, she hasn't abandoned the horror genre, as seen in her recent appearance in Halloween Ends.
