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

Kevin Bacon

One of Kevin Bacon's first starring roles was in a movie that bombed so hard at the box office, it became a cult classic. Bacon played Valentine "Val" McKee in 1990's Tremors, a comedy horror film in which Bacon's character fights for survival against giant, flesh-eating worms. Although Bacon admits that while at the time, he wasn't particularly thrilled about the film, Tremors ended up being an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
