10 MORE Forgotten Horror Movie Scream Queens
10. Debbie Harry
In 1981 music icon Debbie Harry took her first mainstream acting role in David Cronenberg's body-horror flick Videodrome. Not only did Harry impress with some surprising dramatic skills, but also shocked as she indulged in S&M practices and showed a much darker persona than her usual poppy blonde image.
Although Videodrome didn't ignite a successful acting career, Harry periodically dipped in and out of the genre over the next 3 decades. This began with a starring role in an episode of Tales From the Darkside - her episode The Moth is a rather confusing tale of a dying witch trapped under a glass.
Harry's performance in the episode subsequently got her cast in the 1991 film adaption of the anthology show. Here she plays a housewife planning to cook a young child to serve at her dinner party. The young boy distracts her with 3 horror tales from her favourite book... until Harry ultimately ends up in the oven.
The following year Harry would play the lead in the Showtime original slasher movie Intimate Stranger, playing a phone sex worker targeted by a serial killer and showing some impressive Final Girl wits. Next she would appear in 1993's Body Bags for HBO.
Her final genre appearance to date was a cameo in 2007's Anamorph, bringing her horror tally to a very respectable 5, however we'd love to see her return!
