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

Crispin Glover

Only one year before he played George McFly in Back to the Future, Glover delivered an amusing performance as Jimmy in Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)—that is, before his face was hacked off with a meat cleaver. Glover later admitted that he was never a big fan of slasher flicks and only took the role for a paycheck. "I needed a job. I needed work. I needed to continue working," he said.
