Reign of the Scream Queens: Chloe Grace Moretz

Scream Queen Future

She’s only twenty-five years old but Chloe Grace Moretz already has a number of horror films under her belt. She has a total of seventy-five film and television credits starting with a 2004 credit in the TV series The Guardian. From there she made a TV movie and her first big screen appearance was in the 2005 horror remake of The Amityville Horror along with Ryan Reynolds and Melissa George.

Her appearance in The Amityville Horror opened the door to numerous roles in other films, many of which were in the horror genre. She has consistently taken roles in both film and television including major motion pictures, direct-to-video films, TV movies, and television series and shows no signs of stopping. Some of her most popular roles outside of horror include Hit-Girl from Kick-Ass, Darby on multiple Winnie The Pooh projects, Kiki on Dirty Sexy Money, and Shelby on Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.

Moretz has appeared in multiple remakes of popular horror films including the already mentioned The Amityville Horror, Carrie (2013), and Suspiria (2018). She also starred in the 2012 film adaptation of the popular vampire soap opera Dark Shadows that also starred Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Other horror apperances include Hallowed Ground (2007), the historical war horror flick The Shadow In The Cloud (2020), the animated The Addams Family (2019) and its sequel, The Addams Family 2 (2021), Greta (2018), and Wicked Little Things (2006).

Of special note is her starring role in Let Me In, the 2010 remake of 2008’s Let The Right One In. Both movies focus on the friendship (and romance) that develops between a bullied young boy and the vampire girl that becomes his protector. In turn, the young boy in both films becomes the vampire girl’s protector during the daytime. Both films won tons of awards and Moretz was praised for her performance as Abby, a vampire that is hundreds of years old but looks like a twelve year old girl.

Moretz has grown up on both the big and small screens and shows no signs of slowing down her career. She takes on roles in various genres and does an amazing job in each one. She currently stars in the Amazon Prime series The Peripheral and has three more roles in the works as of this writing.

Moretz is an amazing actress and I see her doing even more wonderful things in her career. She’s definitely a Scream Queen! Thanks for reading my post. See you again tomorrow!
