Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Katherine Heigl

One of Katherine Heigl's earliest roles was that of Jade Kincaid in Bride of Chucky (1998), and her character certainly made a lasting impression. "Put it this way, she and Chucky definitely butted heads," said Chucky creator Don Mancini of the actress, who was only 19. "She was obviously a very talented actress….with a very headstrong personality. I'll leave it at that."

Abigail Breslin

Abigail Breslin was only five years old when she made her film debut in M. Night Shyamalan's 2002 horror sci-fi movie Signs alongside Mel Gibson. Breslin played Bo Hess, Gibson's young daughter, whose habit of leaving glasses of water everywhere ends up securing her family's survival amidst an alien invasion. One year later, Breslin was cast as Olive in Little Miss Sunshine (2006).
