10 Best Horror Movie Scream Queens

She may be a pivotal part of the Arrowverse now, but Black Canary herself Katie Cassidy cut her teeth on the likes of 2006’s When a Stranger Calls remake, the same year’s Black Christmas remake, the 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street remake (noticing a pattern here?), as well as TV’s Harper’s Island.

She may have since become better known as an action heroine, but Cassidy's early roles saw her embody every one of the classic horror archetypes.

She was the goody-two-shoes final girl's bitchy blonde best friend in Con Air helmer Simon West's crazy disappointing When A Stranger Calls re-do, the bait-and-switch fake-out final girl who turns out to get brutally offed early in the film in 2010's A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, and the resilient heroic final girl who survives the night in 2006's critically derided Black Christmas re-imagining.

It's in the third of these which stands out on her crowded CV as Cassidy's performance is one of very few highlights in the Weinstein-butchered slasher remake disowned by Final Destination mastermind Glen Morgan.
