20 Beautiful Celebs Who Played Scary Movie Roles

Life

16. Jane Levy

Starting out with television appearances on the hit series Shameless and as the lead in the comedy-drama show Suburgatory, Jane Levy only recently made her move in the thriller-horror genre, contributing her exquisite talents to such box-office slams as Don’t Breathe and the recent indie flick I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore. Despite her innocent demeanor and upbringing in comedy, Jane Levy has dived into some truly abhorrent character roles, such as her role as withdrawing addict Mia, in the 2013 remake of The Evil Dead. After getting assaulted by a tree and becoming possessed by an ancient evil spirit, Jane Levy turns into a demonic unpredictable mess of a character. Only after the ritualistic summoning of a hell monster is thwarted does the audience again see the true beauty of Jane Levy, but not before she decides to rip her own hand off to defeat the devil. Talk about one stunning final girl.

15. Sheri Moon Zombie

The famed wife of Rob Zombie has made her name as leads in nearly all of her husband’s movies, including House of 1000 Corpses, Grindhouse, Halloween, The Devil’s Rejects, The Lords of Salem, and 31. Given her major roles in some of the most arguably disturbing movies to hit theaters in the last decade, Sheri Moon Zombie, also known by Kitty Moon, is definitely one of the more notable beauties the motion picture and television industry have to offer. She has been awarded numerous highly-coveted awards in the horror movie genre for her sadistic villainous performances, including an Eyegore Award, Fangoria Chainsaw Award, Scream Award, and an additional nomination for a Fright Meter Award.

14. Parker Posey – Blade: Trinity

The Golden Globe-nominated actress, Parker Posey, has been in numerous highly-acclaimed film and television productions throughout her career, such as Party Girl, Henry Fool, and Parks and Recreation. One of the more favored roles of Posey’s career is in the role as the flirtatious but menacing vampire, Danica, in Blade:Trinity, the third title in the vampire saga from New Line Cinema. As Danica, Posey’s main scenes are with Ryan Reynolds, in which the two reflect (rather sarcastically) on their previous relationship. Kicking, punching, and bleeding Reynolds around without batting an eye shows Posey to be a truly disturbed character. But when she opens her mouth to reveal her fangs, the die-hard sexy actress is hardly recognizable, let alone attractive.

13. Charlize Theron – Monster

Charlize Theron has made a name for herself as one of the decade’s hottest female movie action stars with high-profile roles in Mad Max: Fury Road, Prometheus, The Huntsman: Winter’s War, The Fate of the Furious, and Atomic Blonde. Although the Oscar winner is one of the most attractive women in show business, she has still taken strides in securing some of the most horrendous character roles in motion picture history, including her critically-acclaimed performance as Ailene Wornos in the movie Monster. Depicting the Daytona Beach serial-killer prostitute in this biography crime-drama earned Theron an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award, as she delivered an unequivocal performance in her role as the infamous serial killer. Her murderous rampage of various men throughout the movie earned her one of the top spots on this list of beautiful women in disturbing roles.
