Before I started writing for Arrow in the
Head, I used to visit the website on a daily basis on my lunch breaks at the
office. I would naively click on an article in the headline section, and I
would always be surprised when I saw a half naked actress holding her
breasts pop up on the screen.
I’m sure a lot of you ladies out there
reading this emphasize with me also, for your fellow co-workers probably
think you too are lesbians who like to frequently look at soft core porn on
your lunch hour. But, my good friend, The Arrow allowed me to write this
article just for you ladies out there who want to see some men look like
pieces of meat for a change. (AMEN!)
I don’t know about you, but
I’m tired of seeing Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Jude Law and other A-list male
celebrities being labeled as the “sexiest men alive” in every magazine I
read. I’m sorry, but there are actually hotter actors that deserve or
deserved the same recognition. A lot of my celebrity crushes are from
horror films. So here is my list of the best “scream king” hotties (or
hotties of their time) that ever graced a horror film. Ladies enjoy and
remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
10. MEKHI PHIFER
This actor has been in many
movies, but it was his role as Brandy’s boyfriend, Tyrell in the less than
stellar sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer that really
got my attention. He was also able to wow me as the doomed gangster in
2004’s Dawn of the Dead. I just wish that in the future if Mekhi
decides to do another horror film, he will pick a role that keeps alive
until the end, so I can enjoy my eye candy much longer.
9. CHAD MICHAEL MURRAY
This cutie may not be marriage material, but man is
this boy good looking. I’ve seen him before (while channel surfing) in shows
like Dawson’s Creek and One Tree Hill, but it was this
year’s slasher hit House of Wax that made me take a second glimpse of
him. It was a pleasant surprise to see him in something that wasn’t teeny-bopper
driven. I hope he leaves the WB soon, so I’ll be able to stand to watch him in
more roles.
8. JASON BEHR
I
had the pleasure last year of meeting this man (a.k.a. “Mr.Topaz Eyes”), and
I must say that his photographs do not do him justice. Audiences saw him
hit the big screen as Sarah Michelle Gellar’s doomed boyfriend in 2004’s
The Grudge, and ladies will swoon again when the 2006 werewolf flick,
Skinwalkers hits theatres later this year.
7. VIGGO MORTENSEN
This hunk is mainly known for playing Aragon in
The Lord of the Rings series, but any true horror fan first noticed him in
the third installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series. Even when
the movie reveals that Viggo is one of the sadistic family members, I still
couldn’t help but notice how good looking he was. ( Is that a bad thing?)
6. JAY HERNANDEZ
I am so glad to see this
hottie finally starting to get the recognition he deserves. I instantly
fell for Jay’s looks and acting skills in Crazy/Beautiful. I
knew it wasn’t going to be long until bigger and better roles were going to
come his way. Hollywood answered my prayers when Jay headlined in this
year’s gorefest, Hostel. Hopefully us horror fiends who love to
watch Mr. Hernandez will get to watch him again if he decides to return for
the sequel. Only time will tell.
STAY TUNED FOR PART 2 OF THIS LIST!
COMING SOON!
