Actors Who Never Recovered From Their Most Distressing Roles

Kyle Richards in Halloween

You might recognize Kyle Richards from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but before Richards made a name for herself on reality television, she was a child actress in John Carpenter's Halloween at the age of 9. After viewing the slasher film's premiere, Richards was so scared that she had to sleep with her mom until the age of 15, haunted by the possibility of someone hiding under her bed or behind the curtains. It goes without saying that Richards never pursued another role within the genre.
