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

Michelle Williams

Michelle Williams broke into the scene with a relatively small role in Species, a 1995 sci-fi horror film that follows a motley crew of scientists and government agents on a mission to track down Sil, an alien-human hybrid, before she mates with a human male. Williams plays a younger version of Sil in the film. Only a few years later, Williams took on a larger part in Halloween H20: 20 Years Later (1998) alongside none other than Jamie Lee Curtis.

The names of the taxi driver and the policeman in everybody’s favourite Yuletide outing, It’s A Wonderful Life, are Bert and Ernie. The writers working on Sesame Street at the time claim it’s merely a coincidence.
Enya was James Cameron’s first choice to compose the music for Titanic.
