Horror movies have always been the realm of fear, as the disfigured faces of murderers, ghosts, or demonic victims make viewers scream in terror. In order to perfectly portray the essence of these demons, these famous actors have learned and prepared many factors for the role such as the postures, limp moments, and facial expressions. Despite the comments and the rating regarding the movies, the efforts of these performers are truly admirable. They literally breathe the soul into these big screen monsters that we fear and love.
However, have you ever questioned the true “beauty” of the actors behind the makeup and the visual effects? Are they as scary as we’ve seen them in the movie?

#3 Mama (Mama) – Javier Botet
The ghost “Mama” (2013) is played by a male actor instead of a female one. Actor Javier Bonet has a special condition that makes his body long and very thin, making it “ideal” for a series of horror characters.

#6 Michelle Crane (Insidious: Chapter 2) – Danielle Bisutti
This character has a not too hideous appearance, but the smile and eyes of the talented actress Danielle Bisutti are the “death point” that creates fear in the audience.
#7 Twisty (American Horror Story) – John Carroll Lynch

#9 Kayako (The Grudge) – Takako Fuji
Right from the moment the actress’s character Kayako appeared, she made an impression with her big bulging eyes, dark circles, and a deep open mouth that scared many people. However, in real life, Takako Fuji has an extremely friendly and approachable appearance, unlike her character in this horror film.
#10 Samara (Rings) – Bonnie Morgan
Actress Bonnie Morgan has had a long time of training so she can become extremely flexible, but the audience is scared to death both on film and in real life.
#11 Regan MacNeil (The Exorcist) – Linda Blair
Contrary to the aggressive and violent appearance in the movie, Linda in real life at that time was a very sweet little girl.
#12 Fritz Honka (The Golden Glove) – Jonas Dassler
The 23-year-old actor brilliantly transformed into serial killer Fritz Honka on the screen. In addition to Dassler’s acting ability, the role was also successful thanks to the talented hands of the makeup artists. Under the expert hands, the audience no longer recognized the handsome actor in the role of a middle-aged psychopath.
