Last year we compiled a list of horror films with lesbian or bisexual characters. This year, we thought we'd highlight out actresses who have appeared in some Halloween-worthy watching. From the classic to the contemporary, we've been in some of the best (and worst) scary movies.
Here are 11 movies you can find for your viewing (dis)pleasure this holiday.
Amanda Bearse in Fright Night
The actress played a teen named Amy Peterson in the 1985 original. She gets turned into a vampire, but is able to turn back into herself after the cure is discovered. Amanda came out eight years later — as a lesbian, not a vampire.
Portia de Rossi in Scream 2
Portia played a bitchy sorority sister in the 1997 sequel to the very successful Scream. She doesn't last too long, but she steals the scenes she's in with some sassy insults.
Sara Gilbert and Drew Barrymore in Poison Ivy...

Happy 2010! Did you miss us?
I have to share this awesome tidbit with you, because AfterEllen.com reader Jerry shared it with me. Slasher film actress Tucky Williams (Dead Moon Rising, Shadows Light) is writing and starring in a new lesbian web series, Girl/Girl Scene.
Tucky as Evan — the new Shane?
The actress (who says she loves Tegan and Sara) said of the series: "Once The L Word was canceled, it left this huge hole in the market. We're filling that need, and them some. Girl/Girl Scene is raunchier, grittier, and sexier. I wanted to see a show that depicted what life was like for me and my friends — queers who have thrown heteronormativity out the window and never looked back." Wait, you mean this isn't The Real L Word?
Here's a fun puzzle for L Word and Queer as Folk fans, courtesy of PuzzleHub. I don't see Papi on there,...

“Shadows Light” (2008) Ever After Media A Stephen Zimmer Film Starring Tom Phillips, Tucky Williams, Cynthia Allen, Jessica Kline Score: Technical: 20, Story: 10, Acting: 10, Overall Score: 13.3 If there’s one thing I’m really truly sick of in horror movies, beyond anything, beyond even the cheap “Saw” rip-offs and pointless torture-porn style of Eli Roth wannabes, it’s the cliché of the evil lesbian. She’s evil and pansexual so obviously she’s going to end up being not only evil but also inhuman in some form, and to be honest, it’s a stupid idea. Maybe 20 or 30 years ago the concept was titillating enough but nowadays it just screams of borderline desperate and a little bit homophobic and misogynistic to me. Unfortunately, [...]...
