Why do holiday movies look and sound so similar?
The 'Scream' franchise star was one of the most popular actresses of the genre in the '90s.
We saw Campbell return to Woodsboro to play Sidney Prescott again in 2022 for 'Scream.' Sadly she couldn't come to a satisfactory deal with producers to join the cast for 2023's 'Scream VI.' "As a woman, I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to 'Scream,'" she told Deadline. "I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise."
Her Oscar-winning performance as FBI agent Clarice Starling in 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1991) was truly remarkable.
We could see Foster going back to darker productions, this time as a director, in an episode of 'Black Mirror' in 2017.
You probably know her as Buffy Summers from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer,' but she also starred in other '90s classics, such as 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (1997), and 'Scream 2' (1997).
Gellar did star in a few horror movies in the following years, including 'The Grudge' (2004), 'The Grudge 2' (2006), and 'Possession' (2009).
Another queen of '90s scary movies, Jennifer Love Hewitt starred in classics such as 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (1997) and 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer,' which was released the following year.
From 2005 to 2010 we could see her communicating with the dead in the series 'Ghost Whisperer.' More recently, she starred in a number of TV shows, including '9-1-1.'
The actress played the witch (and goth icon!) Nancy Downs in 'The Craft' (1996).
Our favorite witch made an appearance in 'The Craft: Legacy' (2020), and we loved her again.
Dr. Hannibal Lecter in 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1991) is one of the actor's most memorable performances.
Hopkins did play the same character in two sequels, and has starred in a couple of scary movies, including 'The Wolfman' (2010) and 'The Rite' (2011).
Drew Barrymore's panicking in the first minutes of 'Scream' (1996) goes does in history as one of the most iconic movie scenes of all time.
The actress did flirt with the genre again, on Netflix's horror-comedy 'Santa Clarita Diet.' However, these days she's best known for her hit talk show.
Another 'Scream' star that we all loved to watch being chased by Ghostface.
We then saw the late actress as a witch on 'Charmed' (1998–2006).
The star of 1978's 'Halloween' returned in 1998 with 'Halloween H20: 20 Years Later.'
Curtis came back as Laurie Strode for a few sequels in recent years, wrapping up the franchise with 'Halloween Ends' in 2022.
More recently, we could see the actress in several episodes of 'American Horror Story.'
Tony Todd continues his career in the genre and returned to his iconic role for the 2021 sequel to 'Candyman.’
Before becoming Rachel from 'Friends,' Aniston actually made her film debut in a 1993 horror movie called 'Leprechaun.'
Aniston never really got into horror movies. More recently, we could see her in the series 'The Morning Show.'
Ulrich became famous in 1996 with 'The Craft' and 'Scream.'
More recently we've seen him in the show 'Riverdale,' but he also returned for the 2023 sequel 'Scream VI.'
The actress starred in 'Scream 2' (1997), and more notably in 'Urban Legend' (1998).
She continued acting and we could recently see her in Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood' (2019).
She has not pursued a career in the genre. We can, however, see her in 'The Matrix 4'.

You probably remember her as the evil doll Tiffany Valentine in the 'Chucky' movies.
Tilly kept playing the character in movies up until 2017, with 'Cult of Chucky.' In 2021, she returned to play the doll in the TV series 'Chucky.'
Who can forget Kathy Bates' Oscar-winning performance in 'Misery' (1990)?
The actress did have a horrific death in 'Scream 2,' but quite a memorable one.
The 1990s were a great decade for scary movies. Teenage slashers such as 'Scream' (1996) and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (1997) were big hits. But so were Oscar-winning classics such as 'Misery' (1990) and 'The Silence of the Lambs' (1991). In this gallery, we look back at many stars of the genre and where they are now.
