- Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween, The Fog, Prom Night, Scream Queens) The same can also be said about Academy Award winner Jamie Lee Curtis, with the exception of horror not being a definitive aspect of her prowess as the genre cannot get enough of her, and may not ever.
- Sigourney Weaver (Alien, Ghostbusters, The Village, The Cabin In The Woods) Sigourney Weaver proved that she still owns her Scream Queen status by reprising her role as haunting victim Dana Barrett for Ghostbusters: Afterlife in 2021.
- Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, Chopping Mall, You’re Next) There are many different possible titles one could justifiably choose as the career peak for Barbara Crampton, and for a variety of reasons, too.
- Linda Blair (The Exorcist, Scream) It is rare for a performance in a horror movie to win an Oscar these days, but teenaged Linda Blair at least received a nomination for 1973’s The Exorcist – the scariest movie ever in many fans’ eyes, and one of the best horror movies based on a true story, allegedly.
- Jamie Lee Curtis. Who else could it be? As we’ve already noted, Curtis is the ultimate scream queen because she helped create a character (in her film debut, by the way) that seemed so real, so honest that everyone who saw Halloween became instantly invested in the well-being of Laurie Strode.
- Neve Campbell. On the surface, Campbell seemed like an unlikely choice to star in a horror movie. And it appeared that Barrymore was the star of Scream, anyway.
- Sarah Michelle Gellar. No one expected much from a TV series based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- after all, the movie of the same name was a misguided dud, and the lead actress of the new version was a former soap star.
- Vera Farmiga. The Conjuring and its sequels would not work without an actress the audience believes in, and Farmiga channels the right amount of fear, skepticism and faith in her portrayal of paranormal investigator Lorraine Warren to have made what appeared to be a small horror film into a huge international franchise.
- Natalia Vela
- Barbara Steele. Preternatural beauty Barbara Steele is known as both “The Queen of All Scream Queens” and “Britain’s first lady of horror.” She was the it girl-scream queen of the 1960s thanks to her lengthy resume in gothic horror movies of the decade.
- Janet Leigh. Janet Leigh makes it to this list for her iconic scream queen moment in Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960). Leigh received a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and an Academy Award nomination in the same category for her role.
- Marilyn Burns. Marilyn Burns and Olivia Hussey below both have held the title for the original final girl, having had their respective films both premiere on the same day in 1974.
- Olivia Hussey. Black Christmas heavily influenced slashers to come, including John Carpenter’s classic Halloween (1978). Hussey played Jess Bradford, a progressive and sexually active sorority sister set on practicing her fundamental right to choose, even against her anti-abortion boyfriend’s wishes.
