who says victims cam Patel I’m not gonna
hurt you
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
scream queens
for this list we’ve picked those women
who added some character to the
Hollywood trope and gave what we felt
were the most memorable performances and
horror films I’m not attacking you I’m
warning you you are walking on very thin
ice town number 10
Asia Argento as the daughter of famed
director and horror movie screenwriter
Dario Argento you could say she comes
from a line of horror movie royalty
she’s a slasher movie natural playing
roles in many of her father’s films but
her most memorable part has to be the
ass-kicking slack in the zombie thriller
land of the dead hey let’s take this
Asia Argento is tough and talented which
helped earn the film over 40 million
dollars making it the highest earning
flick in the franchise Charlie off Sena
but I got him
awesome man number nine Amber Heard
while she’s got the classic looks of a
screen Queen I can say that
Amber Heard proves she’s more than just
a pretty face with the role she takes on
you seem uh um different that’s cuz I
hit as Mandy Lane she’s more of a
thinker than a screamer and plays a
social outcast who uses her newfound
good looks to get revenge as such it’s
not hard to see why horror master John
Carpenter picture to scar in the ward as
a mental patient who may or may not be
seeing a ghost
let’s get out of here
number eight Catherine Isabelle it’s not
every day a scream queen is also a
movies monster but Catherine Isabelle
isn’t your average screen Queen in
gingersnaps she gives an extremely
well-rounded performance as a girl
turning into a werewolf bitten on a full
moon now your hairy she’s sexy but scary
the criminal and the victim and she’s
tough but scared
I’ve got weird hairs so what that means
I’ve got hormones and they may make me
butt ugly but they do not make my
monster so you got bit by a great big
hormone oh no by what you think they
don’t exist knowledge of her performance
helped earn the tiny indie flick
positive reviews as well as a prequel
and a sequel I’m not dying in this room
with you
number seven Adrienne Barbeau well my
gauges must be wrong I’ve got a wind
blowing due east now what kind of a fog
moves against the wind you got me I’m
not so sure I want you you’re just a
voice on the phone as John Carpenter’s
ex-wife uh-huh your Akash trouble it
seems only natural that she’d be a
scream queen and her own right so let’s
get down to business after she was cast
in his film the fog Adrienne Barbeau
quickly became a sex symbol which helped
her earn subsequent roles in cult
classics like Swamp Thing reach for you
thrive on the light reach for it thanks
to her effective blend of fear sexiness
and determination she gives all her
horror movie roles a realistic
credibility
yes Billy yes Billy oh Henry
what would you do without me no Billy
number six
sarah michelle gellar so what now now we
try and locate this Billy blue sure
she’s known for playing one of the most
kick-ass women on TV but sarah michelle
gellar also knows a thing or two about
playing the victim
no call the police encounter the truth
they’ll believe us it’s manslaughter
jumping from franchise to franchise the
actress has faced a revenge killer and I
know what you did last summer a movie
obsessed killer in scream 2 and the
supernatural in The Grudge
her style of scream queen varies with
each movie but the common thread between
them is her believable performances
this is just a dream this isn’t real
this is just a dream he’s a real number
five Heather Langenkamp as Nancy
Thompson Heather Langenkamp played
Freddy Krueger’s favorite victim she may
have been the perfect girl next door but
she knew how to use her intelligence to
outwit the franchise’s killer Langenkamp
set the stage for a scream queen to be
more than just a set of lungs and that
she could use her brains to stay alive
all of you have this inner strength some
special power that you’ve had in your
most wonderful dreams together we can
learn to use that power if we try
Nancy’s cat and mouse game with Freddie
was pretty genius considering she was
one of the few willing to go to sleep to
battle him now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to Lord
before I wake I pray the Lord my soul
will take number four

her screams have only gotten better with

her scream in the shower is one that’s
been heard the world over
the actress crafted such a perfect look
of absolute fear that she earned herself
a Golden Globe and paved the way for
subsequent scary movie roles I’m gonna
