    The obvious choice is Janet Leigh in Psycho but my all-time favorite is Donald Sutherland in the remake of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978) :2thumbsup:

    Wow, I didn't expect anybody to think of Bodysnatchers. That was already going to be my choice.. not Donald Sutherland but Veronica Cartwright (the last survivor, who he points at in the final scene). Also, she's the young woman in Alien (the only other female member of the crew besides Ripley). Those male members of the crew must have wanted to shag her silly (but that's another issue)!
    She is so sweet and vulnerable, makes a great victim. I was so pissed that she had to die in Alien, but it was a kind a fap fap moment seieng her paralysed with fear there and probbaly pissing herself. Great actress.
    As for Janet Leigh and psyhco - shit film, cliche victim - what a load of crap.

    I think Jamie Lee Curtis was really good in the original Halloween. I have to say that I think Jessica Biel did a helluva good job in the remake of TCM - and I'm not just talking about the acting skills of her breasts. If you can manage to not be distracted by her breasts in that movie, her acting was actually pretty damned convincing.

    Yup, gotta be Jamie Lee, daughter of Janet Leigh (of Psycho fame), so the scream queen thing runs in the family. I think Tony Curtis (her dad) also screamed a few times in Some Like it Hot...

    Veronica Cartwright is a good choice too. She is always playing some pitiful character who freaks out. She is the sister of Angela Cartwright who played on Lost in Space. I think Angela got to scream a few times on that show.

    Veronica was in The Birds, the Hitchcock film where she screamed like crazy when attacked by the crows by the school. I think she was typecast after that as a scream queen.

    Wow, I didn't know Veronica was in Birds. Gotto check that out! She must have one of the children then, right? I bet she was a real sweetie!
