20 Young Hunks of Horror Who Need to Make More Horror Films
Jesse Moss: Jesse Moss is already a young horror boss. He’s a good-looking kid who has been tearing his way through awesome Canadian productions and some strong television roles. He’s not a stranger to the genre, and he needs to keep it that way. It’s rare to see a handsome youngster pull off the villain convincingly, but Moss does it time and again. A few strong feature-length recommendations include Wolfcop, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, Ginger Snaps, Final Destination 3, Extraterrestrial and The Uninvited; but you may have caught him shining on the small screen in shows like “iZombie,” “Are You Afraid of the Dark?,” “The Outer Limits” and “The Twilight Zone.” This guy rocks, and his place among horror greats will be irrefutable should he continue to deliver the chills in the years to come.
Max Thieriot: Max is a badass. Seriously, when you can lend something endearing to a movie like My Soul to Take, you know you’ve got something going for you. But Thieriot’s genre credentials don’t end there. He turned in a solid performance in House at the End of the Street, and he’s completely mesmerizing in the strange but addictive A&E hit “Bates Motel.” Max is another youngster who seems destined to carve a legacy in the genre, and we’re showing full support of the man!
Harry Treadaway: Treadaway is one of those guys you’ll likely recognize but won’t be able to name. That’s okay because things won’t remain that way for the youngster. He’s been showing up to showcase surprisingly polished chops in works like Cockneys vs. Zombies and the sleeper creep-out of 2014, Honeymoon. And now he’s moved on to impressive series work in Showtime’s kick-ass series “Penny Dreadful.” Harry, if you read this, do us all a favor and keep your eyes on the macabre prize; it’s working like a charm!
Rob Mayes: Where the hell is Rob Mayes? This guy blew minds in John Dies at the End and has yet to return to the genre. That’s a damn shame because this dude brings the kind of animation to film that we desperately need. We could, however, be in store for more greatness as Rob is currently filming the comic book creeper Day Six. Could it be the launch of a fine horror run? We’re certainly hoping so because this guy’s got the goods.
Jonathan Sadowski: If you want to see what a comfortable young performer looks like, look no further than the resume of Jonathan Sadowski. The Illinois native managed to emerge one of the most memorable players in the 2009 reboot of Friday the 13th, only to follow that up with a wicked performance in the Oren Peli-produced Chernobyl Diaries. He’s a comedian by nature, and there’s always room for laughs in this genre. Currently working in television, Sadowski needs to make a return to big screen shocks immediately. He could be something very, very special.
