20 Actors Who Almost Starred In Your Favorite Horror Movies

10. Molly Ringwald - Sidney Prescott (Scream)

Molly Ringwald was every high school kid's dream during the €˜80s. With roles in John Hughes movies such as Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, Ringwald was a regular in many of the most essential high school films of all time. Over a half a decade later and screenwriter Kevin Williamson had her in mind for a little horror flick he was writing called Scream, where she would be once again playing a high school kid. Wes Craven later hopped on board and the role ultimately went to Neve Campbell. Ringwald was indeed formally offered the role but she turned it down because she was in her late '20s at this point and didn't want to play teenagers anymore. A few years earlier, Ringwald also turned down the role of Molly in Ghost, which eventually went to Demi Moore. Big mistake. Huge, in fact.
