"Hollywood's Hottest Monster Lovers"

If you've been on the Moviefone website lately, you might have noticed the sidebar link to a Maxim slideshow of "Hollywood's Hottest Monster Lovers."  This pictorial survey of the "beast-loving babes" who fall hard onscreen for the strong and violent type includes the likes of Kristen Stewart, Anna Paquin, Heather Locklear, and Naomi Watts.  The slideshow got me brainstorming about other actresses that deserve a spot on such a list:

1.Madchen Amick, Sleepwalkers.  OK, maybe it was just a high school crush that Amick's character had on the lycanthropic Brian Krause, but there's no doubting the beauty of this fresh-faced actress.

2.Mia Farrow, Rosemary's Baby.  Farrow hooks up with Satan in NYC (insert Woody Allen joke here).

3.Charlize Theron, The Astronaut's Wife.  The statuesque Theron (sporting a Farrow-style haircut) succumbs to Johnny Depp's otherworldly charm.

4.Winona Ryder, Bram Stoker's Dracula.  The romance plot that director Francis Ford Coppola added to Stoker's narrative might have been hard to stomach, but Ryder herself is always easy on the eye.

5.Clare Higgins, Hellraiser.  Her character makes the list simply for the ardour with which she couples with the skinless Hell-escapee Frank.

6.Beverly Garland, The Alligator People.  We can't forget about the old school beauties.  Surely, Garland could have found a better mate than her dermatologically-challenged husband in this Southern Gothic chiller.

7.Sheri Moon Zombie, Halloween (2007).  Here we're talking about the love of a stripper-mom for her bogeyman-in-the-making son.  Director Rob Zombie apparently has no qualms about exploiting his wife's admirable assets. 


Well, that's all I could come up with off the top of my head.  Can you think of any other worthy candidates?  If so, you can append the actresses' (or actors') names to the list in the comments section below.
