Spookiest Actress

Here is my choice.....


Jane Badler

Remember when she ate that gerbil?

Christina Ricci has the Hot & Spooky
Kathy Bates has the Creepy & Spooky

This award needs multiple catgories

Margot Kidder. IMHO, she's like a female Christoper Walken.

Juliet Landau as Drusilla on BtVS. The only other thing I've seen her in is Ed Wood, and that whole movie's kinda creepy.

Courtney Cox Arquette... she creeps ME out, especially as Monica .

Madonna... except for one movie (Who's That Girl for some reason cracks me up it's so cheesy and 80's/90's), her acting creeps me out big time.

Bette Davis. I'm still scared of Watcher in the Woods.

I think that's still the scariest movie I've ever seen. Although I haven't watched it since I was 12...

Helena Bonham-Carter gets my vote.

Which of the above have starred in a movie with Christopher Walken.

And anyone notice that the leading creepies (Christopher Walken from the other thread, Christina Ricci from this one) have similar names to...nah, I won't go there.

Tilda Swinton. She played an angel in "Constantine", and the White Queen in the upcoming Narnia film, and she even played an gender-changing immortal in "Orlando".

That's why she looked so familiar in the trailer! Yeah, I remember Orlando: "The treachery of women." And several centuries later, "The treachery of men."

Spookiest actress:

I think you have to go with someone who has multiple performances that fit the bill. On that count, Bette Davis (The Nanny, Watcher in the Woods, Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?, Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte, Wicked Stepmother--hmmmm, her "W" films are her creepiest!) and Christina Ricci (Addams Family, Addams Family Values, Sleep Hollow, Bless the Child, etc.) are certainly front-runners.

Jane Badler is a one-trick pony, so she don't count!

One friend of mine doesn't like Shelly Duval, but her only really creepy role is The Shining (and she's not really the creepy one in that movie). Well, and maybe Popeye.

Olivia Newton-John and Stockard Channing and most of the "Pink Ladies" give me the creeps in Grease, but that's because they were 30 years old playing teen-agers.

Certainly, Margaret Hamilton could be a contender--those 1970s Maxwell House commercials rivaled her creepiness as the witch in The Wizard of Oz! More seriously, Miss Gulch is almost creepier than the witch in TWoO.

Of the ones mentioned in this thread, I think I'd vote for Bette Davis. With Margot Kidder as runner up (Sisters, anyone?)

Oooh, I just thought of another: Meg Foster. She might win, just because of her creepy eyes. Love her eyes!!!
