One of the few female faces of the monster industry, Bonnie Aarons has been on the delivering end of Scream Queens for over 20 years, starting out as a good old fashioned actress before the black eyeliner became a staple of her wardrobe.

Most recently discovered for her unholy afflictions as Valak the nun in James Wan's Conjuring universe, Aarons's striking features have become a staple of her ability to terrify audiences - despite being told early on in her career that her nose would hold her back. Try saying that to her when she's got her habit on.

Aarons is also set to star as 'The Crone' in the upcoming Wizardreams movie with Malcolm Macdowell - which is perhaps the most campy fantasy movie since the days of Xena Warrior Princess. Either way, it looks like she's set for an illustrious career as Standard Creepy Lady, and going off her previous work - we're all for it.
