Camilla Carr, who had a thankless role as a meddling aunt on AW in 1979, was something of a muse for cult horror director SF Browning, with central roles in three of his 70's films - Don't Look in the Basement, Scum of the Earth, and Keep My Grave Open.

Barbara Steele, who would later appear on the primetime Dark Shadows, was in a slew of horror films throughout the 60's and 70's.

If we expand this to TV, Melissa Reeves was in a Hitchhiker episode about a family who were slaughtered by burglars.

Susan Sarandon was in Rocky Horror.

Ellen Burstyn was in The Exorcist.

And The Ring!

Yep, she was Bobbie Jo in the second movie. I haven't actually seen it, but from what she's said--things don't turn out very well for her character .

I actually was looking through a bunch of old SODs the other day (I'm trying to get rid of them--I have WAY too much stuff!), and the Halloween issue from 2003 had a feature on soap actors in horror movies. So did the 2007 issue, actually, but I haven't found it yet.

Mischa Barton (the original Lily on AMC) was in The Sixth Sense.
