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

Brad Pitt

Before Brad Pitt was a bonafide Hollywood hunk, he played an angsty teen doing his best to survive in the slasher flick Cutting Class (1989). Pitt portrays Dwight Ingalls, the basketball star of his high school who nearly becomes the victim of a serial killer. Sadly, critics panned the movie, calling it "good campy fun with some of the dumbest scenes you can grab from a slasher of this decade."
