10 Recent Horror Movie Cameos Nobody Saw Coming

10. Matthew Goode - Abigail

Even if you were aware that Abigail was a loose reimagining of the 1936 film Dracula's Daughter - a fact Universal decided to conceal leading up to its release - you probably weren't expecting to see Matthew Goode show up in the last few minutes.

At the end of the movie, vampiric ballerina Abigail (Alisha Weir) is finally collected by her father, an infamous vampire kingpin by the name of Kristof Lazaar. Lazaar, who has been hyped up as a ruthless overlord throughout the film, finally steps out of the shadows, revealing himself to be played by a sepulchral Goode, who makes the very clear implication that he is, in fact, Count Dracula.

Dracula is one of cinema's all-time classic roles and one that's been inhabited by countless iconic actors over the years, yet casting the part for Abigail must've been tricky - to find an actor comfortable playing him in mere cameo form, and where his name isn't even said on screen.

For what little screen time he had, though, Goode absolutely knocked it out of the park.
