25 Actors You Totally Forgot Starred In Classic Horror Franchises
18. Katie Cassidy
The Franchise: A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Role: Kris in the 2010 remake.
Why You Forgot: A year after Jason Voorhees was resurrected for a Friday the 13th remake, New Line Cinema and Platinum Dunes attempted to reimagine the story of Freddy Krueger in a film that no fans of Wes Craven's original classic were itching to see. Slick and full of gore, the film failed to capture the tense spark that has continued to keep the original so engaging, ultimately casting a hollow mood over the film that only serves to highlight how unnecessary it was.
Two years before taking on her ongoing role as Laurel Lance on Arrow, Cassidy showed up in the early part of the film as one of Freddy's first victims. It's an ultimately thankless role in a film that all but its few fans are likely happy to forget.
