No list like this would be complete with some stars from the eighties.

The halcyon heyday of both hack 'em up slashers and inventively gruesome horror comedies, the eighties saw a generation of scream queens fall victim to mute masked murderers and surreal special effects monstrosities depending on the sub genre of the latest flick were starring in.

From Beyond starlet Barbara Crampton was a recurring presence in more offbeat and gory sci-fi horrors such as the aforementioned Lovecraft adaptation, its predecessor Re-Animator, 1986's Chopping Mall, and the original 1989 Puppet Master.

After starting in her career in the eighties with this impressive string of cult hits, Crampton then managed the feat of creating a career which spanned not one but two generations of horror movies.

The horror heroine returned to scream up a storm in the 2010’s with 2011's You’re Next, 2013's The Lords of Salem, 2015's We Are Still Here, 2015's Tales of Halloween, 2016's Beyond the Gates, and many more.
