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

Jim Carrey

Although Jim Carrey made his feature film debut in Finders Keepers, one year later, he earned a leading role in 1985's Once Bitten. Carrey plays a young virgin seduced by a centuries-old vampire looking for fresh blood. The film marked Carrey's first-ever onscreen kiss: "Gosh, my first screen kiss had to be in Once Bitten with Karen Kopins, I believe," he said. "And yeah, it was always a good thing. Always a good thing. I like—I really enjoy other genders. Let’s just say that. Kissing in general is just a good thing."
