I don’t know about you, but I felt like this year’s horror pickings were quite slim. 2011 has delivered some surprisingly adult horror remakes, mediocre slasher sequels and few spooky supernatural thrillers, but likely there were still plenty of sex pot scream queens to make men drool everywhere. Here is my list of the top ten sexy scream queens of this year that made it into many male horror fans’ spank banks:
10. Roxane Mesquida (Rubber)
Although Rubber premiered in film festivals last year, the killer tire didn’t become popular until this year with many horror film goers. Roxane spent most of the film running from a rubber tire and this French vixen is no stranger to sexy roles as she has made unforgettable and naked appearances in Gregg Araki’s KaBoom and the infamous Fat Girl.
9. Lauren Britten (Paranormal Activity 3)
Before last week, many of us had no idea who she was, but since starring in Paranormal Activity 3 as the doomed mother, many men have started to take notice of this sexy Karen Allen doppleganger. She is definitely an actress we will see more of in the future…hopefully without the 80′s hairdo though.
8. Sharni Vinson (You’re Next)
Although Sharni has been popular in Australia with her R&B singing career for years, she has only started becoming known in North America after her “breakthrough” role in Step Up 3-D. However, it is her new role in the latest horror indie You’re Next that is getting this new scream queen a lot of attention.
7. Jaime King (Mother’s Day)
Although the entire female cast should be recognized because all of them were drop dead gorgeous, Jaime King is probably the most successful Scream Queen of the bunch. Since doing The Tripper and My Bloody Valentine 3-D, Jaime is no stranger to the horror genre and knows how to master being terrified and looking pretty at the same time.
6. Imogen Poots (Fright Night)
Imogen Poots may be young, but she proved in this year’s remake to Fright Night that she had far more sex appeal than Amanda Bearse (which honestly is not a huge achievement) did in the original and I’m sure many horror geeks are looking forward to her next slasher role.
5. Rose Byrne (Insidious)
Rose Byrne has definitely proved she has A-list star power and although she made audience aff members laugh with her snotty role in Bridesmaids, she also managed to show off her good looks and her vocal chords in the supernatural thriller, Insidious.
4. Mary Elizabeth Winstead (The Thing)
This Canadian-loving American woman has been in plenty of horror films in her young career and now she is proving she has staying power by being in cast in “final girl” roles. Although she may be covered in The Thing, she is still as attractive as she was in Death Proof.
3. Hayden Panettiere (Scream 4)
The former Heroes star proved to fans everywhere that hot female horror geeks do exist when she played Kirby, the horror fanatic in Scream 4. Her short haircut and midriff tops definitely got a lot of attention and I have no doubt in my mind that she will be back in the next sequel.
2. Amber Heard (Drive Angry 3-D and The Ward)
Despite the fact that Amber Heard is openly gay, that doesn’t stop men from fantasizing about her 24/7 and they had plenty of Amber to see this year when she starred alongside Nicolas Cage in Drive Angry and battled the supernatural in John Carpenter’s The Ward.
1. Neve Campbell (Scream 4)
It was great to see Neve Campbell back in Ghostface action this year and even better to see this 38-year old beauty is still sporting her natural looks and has avoided the botox. Looking forward to the sequel and hopefully they make her the killer this time round.
