Now where have I seen them before?

[Pumpkinhead]

Okay, a lot of horror movies star actors/actresses who aren't extremely famous, and who aren't recognizable to the average viewer. But sometimes, you watch a horror movie and think, where have I seen him/her before? So I thought I'd start a thread about lesser-known actors and actresses who starred in 2 or more horror movies (or perhaps one horror movie, and then another film from another genre), so that perhaps people who never realized that that was the same person can think, how interesting... (or not, unlike me, most people probably don't care, lol). So if you have any of your own, be sure to post them.

Now here's a few. The actors names are in parentheses at the end.

-The Asian chick from NIGHT OF THE DEMONS was also the Asian chick from SLEEPAWAY CAMP 3. (Jill Terashita)

-Tanya's father in SLEEPWALKERS was the same actor who played that coach/teacher or whatever he was, in MIKEY. (Lyman Ward)

-Paul (I think that was his name) from SLEEPAWAY CAMP was also the young guy with the glasses in THE LANGOLIERS (forgot his characters name in that movie, too). (Christopher Collet)

-Speaking of THE LANGOLIERS, Nick from that film (The British guy) was the same actor who played that guy with the mullet who went on the swing in AMERICAN GOTHIC. (Mark Lindsay Chapman)

-The old woman from CRITTERS 3, THE PAPERBOY, and IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (the one who owned the hotel) were all played by the same very talented actress. She was also the woman whose marble rye was stolen by Jerry in SEINFELD. (Frances Bay)

-Ida from MOTEL HELL was also in all three PORKY'S movies. I don't know the characters name, I haven't seen any of those movies, but I'm pretty sure she played a pivotal role in the series. She was also Coach Annie in that stupid Rodney Dangerfield movie LADYBUGS. Sadly, she died last year. (Nancy Parsons)

-The sheriffs daughter in HALLOWEEN 4: THE RETURN OF MICHAEL MYERS, and The Bride (I'm pretty sure she played the bride, I haven't seen the sequel) in BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR, were played by the same actress. (Kathleen Kinmont)

-Speaking of BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR, the other main actress in it (I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know who she played) was none other than Alotta Fagina from AUSTIN POWERS: INTERNATIONAL MAN OF MYSTERY. (Fabia Udenio)

I know some more, but I can't think of any more right now, so I'll be back with more in a while.

Post some of your own!

good topic!

I'll put in some too, im not good with names though.

There is a doctor in Night of the Creeps with thick glasses (he is on the pic of arrows review of the film) he was also a small victom in Chopping Mall. Ironicly, both films have the same actor who sold the guns in the first termintor, he gave out guns to cops in Night of the Creeps and was a janator in Chopping Mall. They both look very much alike, im not sure but i think they are father and son...

Miguel A. Nunez who played "spider" in return of the living dead also played "demon" in Friday the 13th 5.....

Vincent Schiavelli is my fave "small-role" genre actor. He's a tall, middle-aged guy with sleepy eyes and a quiet speaking voice. He's done loads of stuff over a long career, and he's one of those actors you'd recognise from half a dozen other films you've seen, but never knew his name.

He was the Organ Grinder in "Batman Returns", Vinovich in "Lord of Illusions", and played a part in the X-Files ep where Mulder & Scully are investigating a murder at the circus performers' hometown in Florida.

I love Vincent Schiavelli! He is also in Amedaus and Ghost, e is awsome!

[Pumpkinhead]

I love that episode of the X-Files, FeydRautha!! Which character did he play? Was he the guy with the lump on his stomach?

Oh yeah, and speaking of Miguel A Nunez Jr, he was also Juwanna Mann in that dumb looking movie of the same name that just came out.

Oh yeah, here's another one.

Bridgitte in GINGER SNAPS is the same actress who played the younger version of Beverly Marsh in IT. She may look pretty young in GINGER SNAPS, but she was actually about 21 when it was filmed. The actress who played Ginger (Katherine Isabelle) is actually about 4 or 5 years younger than her for real life, yet she played the older sister. The actress who played Bridgitte's name is Emily Perkins, and oddly enough, I know a girl named Emily Perkins.

This one is pretty obvious but what the hell, Suicide from Return of the Living Dead (Mark Venturini) was also in Friday the 13th Part 5 as Vic, the guy who kills Joey the fat annoying guy at the beginning. He was also in Mikey as a detective. It says on the IMDB that he was killed in 1996 on a movie set accident. It doesn't give anymore details though.

She was also in "Twin Peaks" and "Blue Velvet".

Katherine Issabelle from "Ginger Snaps" was also in "Disturbing Behavior", "Bones", and the recent "Insomnia".

APzombie - I think the guy you`re talking about is Dick Miller (the drunken neighbor from "Gremlins").

Here's another one.

The teacher from Childs Play 2 was played by the same actress who played Kitty Farmer in Donnie Darko. (Beth Grant)

lt Gorman from Aliens was kyle in Hellraiser 2. (William Hope)

Yeah, pretty much (without giving away too many spoilers). He was the one with a "detachable" siamese twin brother. His biggest scene is when he shows Mulder & Scully to their rented trailers.

Another small-role horror actor appeared in the same ep: I can't remember his name, but the midget who runs the trailer park M&S rent their rooms from also appeared in Twin Peaks (TV series & movie Fire Walk With Me) as the little man talking backwards and dancing in Cooper's dreams.

Just thought of another one: Nancy Parsons. Most famous for playing Ida in "Motel Hell", she's appeared in loads of horror & B-grade flicks. I remembered her best as Beulah Balbricker (aka The Ball-Breaker) from the Porky's movies.

I just found out that the lead actress in CANDYMAN: FAREWELL TO THE FLESH played one of the Lee sisters in THE GATE. She played the one called Lori, but I'm not sure which one that was. (Kelly Rowan)

Corey Haim was only in "The Lost Boys". Corey FELDMAN was in "Friday the 13th" 4 and 5.

Miguel Ferrer is awesome, he was also in "Deepstar Six", "Twin Peaks", and "Robocop".

Agreed! He's one of my fave un-sung actors. He's done a lot of horror TV as well, like "Tales from the Crypt" and "Darkzone". He's also an accomplished musician (drummer), and plays in a band formed by Billy Mumy (Lost in Space, Babylon 5).
