As you are likely aware, this Sunday is the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. To celebrate, I’ve got an extra special Coverbox Wednesday for you all today that ties in with Hollywood's biggest night.
A thing I've always found interesting about horror films is that they often feature young talents that subsequently went on to become household names. I had no shortage of such titles at my store. Now, we’re all familiar with the appearances (and classic demises) of Johnny Depp and Kevin Bacon in A Nightmare On Elm Street & Friday The 13th respectively, but here are some you might not be aware of – or had at least maybe forgotten about.

This year’s Oscars are of special note, as two of the duelling directors for Best Picture, are not only ex-spouses, but both cut their teeth on horror projects.
