Top 10 Scream Queen of Horror Films
What I consider Scream Queen is someone who actually screams or is the victim against the bad thing hunting them down. Most online list of Scream Queens are just actors who play in a bunch of horror movies and never really scream. To me Scream Queen means real screaming and playing the victim.
Now the term Scream Queen can sometimes be used lightly or greatly. Sometimes certain actresses thrive in horror films or sometimes an actress might only be in one horror film that defines a scream queen and out do other actresses who make a living in the horror world.
