10 Best Horror Movie Scream Queens

Okay so this character actor is probably better known for her many superb performances in countless critically acclaimed hits, both comedic and dramatic, throughout her last few decades onscreen.

Taylor's impressive work in everything from Robert Altman's Short Cuts to American Psycho director Mary Harron's stark biographical drama I Shot Andy Warhol have ensured her a lot of praise as a dramatic performer, whereas the lighter likes of Mystic Pizza and Tamara Drewe director Stephen Frears' superb rom com High Fidelity showed off her comedic chops.

But yes, believe it or not this critically acclaimed indie actor does more than qualify for the title of scream queen.

Between 1999's laughable Jan DeBont-directed remakeThe Haunting, 2013's terrifying The Conjuring, 2020's killer kid mystery Eli, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel Leatherface, the actor has made it her mission to ensure her later career is filled with genre efforts and is building up a pretty impressive reputation as a horror heroine (and villainess) in the process.
