10 Famous Actors That Debuted In Horror Movies

Filmed in 1980, The Final Terror follows a group of trainee forest rangers as they set about clearing fallen lumber from woodland rivers. A wild, feather-clad figure also lurks within the woods, unhappy that strangers have encroached on their homestead.

Daryl Hannah had absolutely no screen experience to speak of when she took the role of Windy in this ensemble slasher. However, it would be her turn as Pris in 1982's Blade Runner that would garner enough attention for The Final Terror to finally gain distribution.

Unlike other films, The Final Terror does not play up its famous cast member with the marketing. The movie definitely would have benefited from some exploitative marketing however, as when the film was finally released it failed to garner an audience due to the overabundance of woodland slashers saturating the marketplace.

It truly is a shame, as Hannah, along with her cast mates, make for a truly likeable ensemble and The Final Terror also takes its time with a relatively low body count. Hannah features in one of the film's most wince inducing scenes as her character survives a nasty throat slash and has to be sewn up by an also unknown Rachel Ward.

Had The Final Terror not been shelved, it may have stood a better chance of finding an audience.
