Top Ten Movie Screamers: 10 to 6
5 – Janet Leigh in Psycho (1960)
I don’t recall myself recoiling in horror while watching Janet Leigh’s shower scene in Psycho, but I do recall quite vividly one night long ago when I was showering at an acquaintance’s place and imagined myself facing the same fate as Leigh’s unlucky bank teller. So, I guess that sequence did leave a lasting impression on me. (Needless to say, I was out of that acquaintance’s shower stall and all dried up in a matter of seconds.)
4 – Fay Wray in King Kong (1933), Doctor X (1932), and The Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)

Debbie Rochon, often described as a scream queen herself, wrote in an article originally published in Gc Magazine that "a true Scream Queen isn't The Perfect Woman. She's sexy, seductive, but most importantly 'attainable' to the average guy. Or so it would seem."
Nastassja Kinski
Films:
To the Devil a Daughter (1976) [1]
Cat People (1982) [2]
The Day the World Ended (2001) [3]
Inland Empire (2006) [4]

Caroline Munro
Films:
The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971) [5]
Dr. Phibes Rises Again (1972) [6]
Dracula A.D. 1972 [7]
Maniac (1980) [8]
Faceless (1987) [9]
Demons 6 (1989) [10]
