The scariest characters from horror movies and their performers in everyday life

Just thinking about these characters gives you goosebumps: we all remember them from horror films, and many of them are the screen embodiment of urban legends that have inspired fear in entire generations. Actors who have played monsters in movies are not so scary in real life. Due to the lack of makeup, many people do not even recognize. Let's see what the living nightmares of horror movie lovers look like in everyday life.

This is one of the seven actors who played the role of a terrible maniac nicknamed Leatherface, who destroyed all living things with a chainsaw. The actor also stars in TV series and is actively engaged in bodybuilding.

Ari Lehman was the first actor to play Jason Voorhees. Lehman became a version of the villain in his youth. The actor was only 15 when he was cast as Voorhees. He fit perfectly in size: despite his young age, his height was 180 cm.

Director Stanley Kubrick was sure that only Jack Nicholson would be suitable for this role, although both Robert De Niro and Robin Williams allegedly claimed it. Indeed, it is unlikely that anyone else would have coped with it so brilliantly.

Fans of movies and TV series have probably seen Davey on the screen more than once: she starred in "Donnie Darko", and in such TV series as "Ambulance" and "Charmed". But it is she who is the creepy girl who got out of the TV in the movie "The Bell" and who continues to appear to many in nightmares.

This is the case when an actor becomes a kind of hostage to the role: Douglas Bradley played the same character in eight films in a row. He tried to act in films of other genres, but the role of Pinhead remained the most notable in his career. And it is hardly possible to imagine any other actor in this role.

Having played a serial killer, Englund, like Doug Bradley, became an actor who played the main role in eight horror films in a row. He is still actively working in cinema, but it is most popular in horror films.

Davis has starred in many places, he is a very popular actor. His portfolio includes roles in "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars", and he is one of the most famous dwarf actors in Hollywood.

Bonnie Aarons is a very diverse actress with a bright appearance: she starred in both horror and comedy films. In the second part of the" Spell", she played the demon Valak, and this role brought her great popularity. It should be noted that the make-up artists in this picture did their best.

British actor Tim Curry played the role of a creepy clown so brilliantly in the film adaptation of Stephen King's novel "It" that many people have formed a persistent aversion to clowns. By the way, Curry is not only an actor, but also a singer and composer. In 2013, unfortunately, the actor had a stroke, because of which he now moves in a wheelchair, but he has not stopped actively working.

This is the most famous role in the career of Tobin Bell, but his face is also familiar to viewers from the TV series "The X-Files", "Walker, Texas Ranger" and "Ambulance".

Castle is one of the first who played the role of the maniac Michael Myers, thanks to which he gained considerable popularity. At the moment, the actor mainly makes his own films and writes scripts.
