Playing hapless babysitter Laurie Strode, Curtis is the original half-dressed damsel in distress — and the yardstick by which all horror actresses are still measured. Jamie didn't earn the nicknames "The Scream Queen" and "The Body" for nothin'.

With her Bambi eyes and trembling lips, Neve (and a cast of other hotties-of-the-moment, including Drew Barrymore, Rose McGowan and Skeet Ulrich) launched the "new wave" of horror movies in this 1996 classic.

A little bit James Dean, a little bit sparkly, this pale Romeo had hearts jumping from his first moment on screen. Was there ever any doubt that he would get the girl?

A stripper with a secret, Hayek makes her entrance sporting a tiny bikini and a huge snake. Need we say more?

Kate worked out like mad for this role, and it shows. Always heavily armed and dressed in skin-tight latex and leather, she's a badass fantasy girl. If you can get past that whole vampire thing. Or does that take it to the next level?

Props to Ryan Reynolds for making us swoon even when he's possessed by evil spirits (not to mention a bad haircut and facial hair). Reynolds' George Lutz may have chased his family around a haunted house with a shotgun, but the real horror of this film is that George didn't have more time to be shirtless.

In the first of many such transformations for film roles, Bale created a physique so flawless that it's the living embodiment of the simultaneously repellent and compelling nature of Patrick Bateman.

This film envisions a world in which vampires are now the majority of the population, hunting down the last of the humans. Ethan's handsome vampire-with-a-conscience is trying to create a blood substitute to save the humans. He's heroic! And deep!

Megan Fox took the phrase "maneater" to a whole new level in Jennifer's Body. Playing a cheerleader-turned-succubus, Fox was dead sexy while killing her way through the high school dating scene — and we loved every bloody second of it!

Jessica spends nearly all of this flick running for her life in a sweaty tank top and tight jeans. And she looks damn fine doing so.

Even when playing a possessed woman who is dressed down and thrown in a loony bin, Halle Berry shines.

The bad boy vampires in this flick (a la Kiefer Sutherland) tend to get all the attention, but as you can see, Jason Patric had his own appeal.

In a classic horror movie transformation, Lohman's character goes from a sweet, mild-mannered bank clerk to a wet T-shirt-clad banshee doing some midnight grave-digging in a torrential downpour. Makes perfect sense, right?

A reprise of her House of 1000 Corpses role, Sheri's serial-killing country cutie is all long legs and blonde hair, lovingly fetishized by husband Rob Zombie's direction.

Dead horses, maggots, electrocution — The Ring made us want to cover our eyes in disgust, but we couldn't tear our peepers away from Watts' perfect punim. Whether she was climbing out of a well or running from Samara, Watts was a welcome ray of sexy in an otherwise bone-chilling film.

Though J. Love first caught our eyes on Fox's Party of Five, we didn't really take notice until she ran screaming — often in tiny tank tops — from a dude with a meat hook. We're not really sure what that says about us.

Seen here in the original iconic costume, Milla battles zombies through four sequels in an array of short shorts, garters, tight leather and heavy duty weapons. When can she join The Walking Dead?

Keanu Reeves' Harker protested, but he didn't really seem to mind his porn-y foursome with Dracula's beautiful brides. That's no doubt thanks to Monica Bellucci, who pops up between his legs during an especially memorable moment.

Cheerleader fantasies and slick auto stunts (featuring additional hot babes) intersect in this Tarantino film.

Sure, she's an evil alien who could possibly wipe out the human race. But with fashion-model good looks and a seemingly insatiable desire to hop in the sack, who cares, right?

With her sexy-baby voice, lingerie-style dress, stiletto heels, and long black fingernails, Tilly is totally Goth Barbie in this campy fright fest.
