While getting scared and flying off the roof in a horror movie required immense talent, we often forget the artist responsible for increasing the spooky factor, the actor who plays the role of the ghost/poltergeist. Ever wondered how these poltergeists look in real life? We dug out some good looking faces for you:

1. Fredy Kreuger – A Nightmare On Elm Street

He played the serial killer in eight movies and put Robert Englund into steering success mode.

His real life avatar is, obviously, more human.

2. Valak- The Conjuring 2

The scary nun from ‘Conjuring 2’ scared the daylights out of everyone. Bonnie Arons impressed everyone with a very convincing performance.

This is her in real life, minus the ‘Valak’ makeup.

3. Samara- The Ring

Everyone was spooked by that ‘girl from the Ring. Remember?

4. Pennywise- It

There is something terrifying about clowns and Pennywise was a success. Stephen King has a way of crawling horror under your skin and this character did just that.

Tim Curry is not a clown in real life obviously.

5. Pinhead- Hellraiser

The creepy character is perhaps one of the most famous roles that Doug Bradley essayed.

He’s not an acupuncture fan in real life, I am guessing!
