NY Fashion Week is coming up and we’re ready to see our favorite celebs in the front row. But for many of them, it took some time and the help of a stylist to make it there. Check out these celebrities who struggled with style before hiring some of the top stylists in the biz.

Gore Verbinski’s hit 2002 thriller The Ring helped solidify the careers of many actors. That’s a good thing, since videotapes are now basically obsolete and images on the videotape look like Luis Buñuel’s avant-garde classic short film Un Chien Andalou (1929)—only not as intense. It scared a lot of people, made a lot of money, and spawned a sequel. And really, isn’t that what counts?

Whether they were chased down by psychopaths or terrorized by creatures, these ladies tried their damnedest to outrun death in some of the most memorable horror films ever. Snakkle revisits their greatest shriek-tacular roles and updates where they are now…and yes, they all made it out alive!

Check out these “new classic” horror films and the celebs that made us cover our eyes and cower in our seats before they were stars.
