18. Emma Roberts – American Horror Story and Scream 4
Emma Roberts has recently been cast as a regular on the hit-horror series from Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, American Horror Story. Appearing in lead roles in season 3 of Coven, season 4 of Freak Show, and season 7 of Cult, Roberts has proven herself (to Murphy and Falchuk, at least) to be a definite scream queen, capable of taking on the more disturbing character roles they write. Despite achieving massive acclaim for her role in the popular horror show, Roberts also made her name known in the 4th title of the motion picture horror franchise, Scream 4. Starring alongside Neve Campbell as the protagonist’s niece, Jill Roberts, Emma shows that she can muster up disturbing character potential as she reveals herself to be the fame-hungry serial killer who has been making her way through the A-list cast, which included such big names as Allison Brie, Lucy Hale, Anna Paquin, Courteney Cox, and Hayden Panettiere. In the climactic scene of the movie after Roberts reveals that she is the murderer, she then proceeds to throw herself onto a knife and numerous living room furniture pieces to fake being an actual victim of the murderous tirade. This Hollywood dame has definitely left her mark as some truly disturbing characters.
17. Allison Williams – Get Out
Having previously starred as the lead of Marnie Michaels in Lena Dunham’s Golden Globe Award-winning series, Girls, for which she was nominated for a Critics Television Choice Award, Allison Williams has definitely been one of the more attractive newcomers to the horror scene. Starring as the gorgeous Rose Armitage in Jordan Peele’s horror feature debut, Get Out, Williams has audiences swooning over her dogmatic political correctness. After she defends her black boyfriend, Chris Washington, from a racist encounter with law enforcement and seems enthusiastic about her boyfriend meeting her white parents, it seems as though Williams is certainly one of the good guys. However, in the twist-ending, it’s revealed that Williams is just as horrible a person as the rest of her insane family, who kidnap African-Americans and perform brainwashing surgery on them that ultimately makes them complacent servants. In one of the final climactic scenes of the movie, Rose (Allison Williams) reveals herself to be truly psychopathic, unflinching with the knowledge that the man she has been dating will soon meet a horrific fate and even nonchalantly enjoys a bowl of cereal as her boyfriend is put through the traumatic experience of the brainwashing procedure. This gorgeous starlet shows that she is more than just a pretty face for rom-coms and dramas.
