5) Sissy Spacek - Carrie
In what some could say is the first movie to warn kids about the dangers of teen bullying, Spacek stars as Carrie White, a social outcast, ruthlessly tormented by her peers. But don’t worry, Carrie gets even. Spacek received an Oscar nomination for her performance and the movie is widely regarded as one of the best horror films ever made. Bravo ranked it eighth for its famous ending sequence on The 100 Scariest Movie Moments. Spacek is a six time (one win) Oscar nominated actress and a fan favorite, her films grossing over $700 million worldwide.
4) Neve Campbell - Scream
Campbell is best known for her portrayal of Sidney Prescott in the highly successful Scream franchise. The films strike a perfect balance between comedy and sheer terror, with critics worldwide crediting it as singlehandedly reviving the horror genre. Prescott is your average suburban highschooler in every way except she’s being stalked by a ghost face serial killer. Campbell was ranked #8 on Maxim's Hottest Women of Horror Movies list and #66 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women in the World. She is also a humanitarian; the entire Campbill family was named the official “spokesfamily” of the Tourette Syndrome Foundation in her native Canada.
3) Linda Blair - The Exorcist
Based on the novel by William Peter Blatty, The Exorcist took the country by storm when it was released in 1973. The film is one of the most profitable horror films of all time, earning ten Oscar nominations (two wins-Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay), and was named the scariest movie of all time by Entertainment Weekly. Linda Blair’s portrayal of Regan MacNeil, a young girl suffering from demonic possession, had people vomiting in the aisles, running out of theaters and passing out in their seats. And she did all this at the age of 14, not bad. Nowadays, she makes her rounds at horror conventions nationwide, and is also a staunch animal rights advocate. Blair started The Linda Blair World Heart Foundation, which advocates the rescue and adoption of animals.
