25 Actors You Totally Forgot Starred In Classic Horror Franchises
13. Kelly Hu
The Franchise: Friday the 13th
The Role: Eva in the series' eighth entry, 1989's Jason Takes Manhattan.
Why You Forgot: Part VIII released in 1989 to minimal box office returns and critical trouncing, still standing as one of the series' lowest points even with hilarious moments like this. Between its low budget relegating Jason's actual presence in Manhattan to the end of the film and the fact that the character had long since been robbed of his ability to instill fear thanks to his escalation into pop culture, Jason Takes Manhattan hardly breathed worthwhile life into the series.
At only 21 years old, Hu's throwaway role as Eva in the film served as her first big screen appearance, but fortunately didn't keep her from going on to enjoy a continuing career in film, on television and in video game work.
