Even the biggest stars had to start somewhere. It just so happens that many of them started out in horror movies – some classic, some classically terrible. The quiz week festivities continue with Scary Beginnings: match the celeb with their early horror movie credit.
Then come back and brag about your score.
Only 2 right…guessed on all but Jennifer Aniston’s.

5 out of 8 (which is pretty good considering I do not like scary movies and don’t usually watch them). If I want to be scared I just watch the 6 o’clock news (lol)

I got half right…but something went wrong with the quiz. I got one wrong where my answer was the right answer?
I’m not a scary movie person anyway and most of the stuff I knew from recent Halloween trivia.

I got them all. Awesome! I had no clue about Jamie Lee Curtis, Sting and Jennifer Aniston. So I used process of elimination.

100%. Guessed on Clooney/Curtis. The others I knew (and sadly, saw). Surprised you didn’t include Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, the double-whammy of Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger.

I knew all of these except for Sting, which I figured out via process of elimination. I guess watching all those horror movies has finally paid off in some small way.

100%. Jamie Lee Curtis actually first appeared in ‘Halloween’, though I suppose that would have been a dead giveaway.

100%. I had to guess a little. Sad though that I knew so many, cuz some of those movies were real stinkers.

50%… guessed on all but Johnny Depp and Shatner had to be on the eldest looking poster…
