Just saying the words “Paris Hilton” fires a whole lot of reaction in all of us. Maybe you love her, or you hate her, or you can’t get enough of her pointless juvenile antics. Maybe you’re sick of her posturing, or you’re wondering what happened to all those promises she made when she got out of prison. You know, the ones where she was going to do all that charity work and make herself something more than a minor celebrity laughingstock fit only to sop up booze like some kind of massive sponge?

Okay, so you didn’t get much of that. But what you may not know is that Paris Hilton actually has a surprising side to her—horror film actress.

Scream Queen? No, Entirely Too Dignified. Scream Countess? Let’s Talk.

She may never be the Jamie Lee Curtis of her era, and don’t even try to put her up against Tiffany Shepis, but Paris has had a surprising run of at least marginal success in horror. In fact, she’s got an upcoming theatrical release in the form of LGF / Twisted Pictures co-production (you can recognize that combination from Saw and Dead Silence) Repo! The Genetic Opera. I can recall two of her roles in Nine Lives and House of Wax and I’ll tell you this much—surprisingly, very surprisingly, she’s not that bad.

She may never be a true Scream Queen, but at least minor Scream Nobility is a distinct and surprising possibility for Paris Hilton.
