Receiving acclaim for her sinister slide into lycanthropy, genre roles came Isabelle's way quickly. A serious turn in the Stephen King-penned Insomnia soon followed and she showed great versatility by then playing Gibb, the horny best friend in 2003's Freddy Vs. Jason.

Isabelle also committed to returning for both Ginger Snaps sequels. Soon after, with a tally of 5 horror films, Isabelle swapped up her career, choosing to focus on television and light comedy.

The 2010s saw Isabelle revive her genre career when she played the title role in The Soska Sisters body horror flick American Mary. This dark and twisted tale tells of a young woman using body modification surgery to avenge her brutal rape. The Soska Sisters re-teamed with Isabelle for 2014's See No Evil 2.

Away from film, Katherine has also dabbled in horror television projects, with a recurring role as Margot Verger in Hannibal, and a two season run on Netflix's The Order.

These recent parts show a woman expanding within in the genre to tackle more mature roles, and tell us that Katherine Isabelle isn't hanging up her Scream Queen crown any time soon.
