Top 10 Horror Movie Babes

Although many horror films use female characters as victims, this lovely lady, who plays Marybeth Dunston, is out for revenge. The beginning of the movie finds her as the target of the hatchet-wielding villain Victor Crowley, but she quickly escapes and hopes to get back at him for killing her father and brother. Regardless of whether or not she can claim his body, she certainly wins our love.

This actress has had a storied Hollywood career – and is actually a second-generation scream queen thanks to her mother Janet Leigh, more on her later – but none of Curtis’ roles captured our attention quite as much as her big screen debut in “Halloween.” Appearing as the teenage babysitter Laurie Strode, Jamie Lee was magnetic, which isn’t easy when you’re being stalked by the homicidal and insane Michael Myers. Things only get worse for Laurie when her friends become his victims, but the closer Myers’ gets the less we can take our eyes off Jamie Lee.

Being the wife of director Rob Zombie, it’s only natural that Sheri Moon Zombie would be on a list like this. Picking up where “House of 1000 Corpses” left off, Mrs. Zombie plays Baby Firefly, the daughter in a murderous family held responsible by Texas Sheriff Wydell for seventy-five murders and disappearances. After a firefight with him and other officers, the family is on the run, with Baby irresistibly leading the way.

We’d follow this sexy star wherever she goes, although we hope we wouldn’t come off quite as creepy as the “It” of this film’s title. She stars as Jay, a gorgeous teen who’s stalked by the titular paranormal force after she has sex with her boyfriend, Hugh, who then tells her that she must sleep with someone else to rid herself of the creeps. We’re sure she wouldn’t have trouble finding someone willing to help her out, regardless of the consequences. After all, what is love without sacrifice?

Despite only appearing in the first act of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic slasher flick, Janet Leigh made one amazing impression. In this psychological thriller, she plays Marion Crane, a secretary on the run after stealing $40,000 from her employer. Of course, what she really stole were our fluttering hearts, but then motel owner Norman Bates had to come along and spoil it all, in one of film history’s most iconic shower scenes and sequences in general.

Any turn that brings this star to us certainly couldn’t be a wrong one; however, Dushku’s character doesn’t have quite as good luck. She stars as Jessie Burlingame, a girl stranded in the middle of nowhere with a group of friends – although their problems quickly become much worse than a mere gas shortage. It’s true: Dushku benefits from the proximity factor, as some of her costars are horrifying cannibals. But even if she weren’t sharing the screen with some hideous villains, she’d never fail to capture our gaze.

Despite having competition from beautiful co-stars like Courteney Cox, we didn’t fall for anyone quite like we did for Neve Campbell. In this terrifying and bloody slasher flick, directed by horror master Wes Craven, Campbell plays Sidney Prescott, a beautiful teen who’s being stalked by the menacing and mysterious killer known as Ghostface. We can’t quite condone killing for Neve’s love, but we'd willing to inflict the odd ear flick or purple nurple in the quest for Campbell’s returned affections.

This actress has become one of the most the lusted-after beauties in Hollywood with good reason, but she’s never been quite as appealing as she is in this high school horror flick. Fox stars as Jennifer Check, a gorgeous cheerleader who turns into a terrifying murderer after escaping a fire in a bar with a creepy rock band. She sprouts a pair of intimidating fangs and vomits up black fluid, but that still isn’t enough to keep most people away from her.

This series is filled with beautiful stars, like Mary Elizabeth Winstead in the third film, but none of them won us over the way Ali Larter did. She plays Clear Rivers, a high school senior who survives a plane engine failure on her way to a class trip in Paris. Even though she lives through the accident, Death is determined to get her, and she’s got plenty of terror coming her way. Gorgeous, introverted, and slightly gothic, we’re sure someone wouldn’t mind trying to comfort her.

Before we get to our number one, let’s take a look at some honorable mentions:

Jessica Biel
“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (2003)

Kelly Brook
“Piranha 3D” (2010)

Sarah Michelle Gellar
“I Know What You Did Last Summer” (1997)

Amber Heard
“The Ward” (2010)

Elisha Cuthbert
“House of Wax” (2005)

Scaring her way to the top of our list is this seductive and beautiful actress. Hayek plays Santánico Pandemónium, a frightening vampire who’s also an alluring exotic dancer – y’know, that whole cliché. While her looks and personality would be enough on their own for her to be #1, it’s her sexy strip tease that clinches her spot – even with its violent conclusion. Although it’s certainly tempting to fall for her, doing so would probably not be the smartest move. But at least you’d die happy.
