Hollywood A-Listers Who Got Their Big Break in Horror Films

Chloë Grace Moretz

Chloë Grace Moretz was only 8 years old when she played Chelsea Lutz, the youngest of the Lutz daughters in 2005's The Amityville Horror. The original Amityville Horror (1979) is regarded as a staple of horror cinema, but the 2005 remake featuring both Moretz and Ryan Reynolds was surprisingly well-received. Moretz's breakthrough came in 2010 when she received critical acclaim for her performance as Hit-Girl in Kick-Ass.
