Actors just starting off in the entertainment business often have to take whatever role comes their way to build their resume and get a foothold in the medium of film. Because of this, you'd be surprised at how many of today's stars have had their careers begin in horror films.
The Washington Post has a brief article/list HERE but I thought of a few more and made my own comprehensive list below.
Jennifer Aniston "Leprechaun"

Jamie Lee Curtis, "Halloween"
Johnny Depp, "A Nightmare on Elm Street"
Leonardo DiCaprio "Critters 3"
