Intro:
Scream queens are women in horror movies who scream on facing dangerous situations. It can be the threat of a psychopath or a wild animal or anything else able to hurt or even kill them. No matter what - they are clearly in the role of the threatened victim, even though they might defend themselves or at last strike back. This time there are also male screamers. Which of them do you think is the most impressive scream queen or king to you? (Please count the all-in-all-impression, not the amount of roles and feel invited to vote even when you have seen just a few of them)
Rules:
You can suggest any scream queen or king here. It's about characters that are threatened in any form. They should have screamed because of the situation in the movies. It's about defensive positions that can (but not must) turn to aggressive behavior. Before you suggest, please think on the stereotype of scream queens. That can also be screamers in a manly way. Surprised, staggered, stunned - crying or shouting out of a defensive position.

Seriously? It's no horror movie, is it? Funny anyway.
You don't say Horror Genre anywhere in the description!
:):)
Ya might add that parameter...........

It's written in the first sentence. ;)

Missed it. All I looked at was the RULESNo Men
I see it now. :):)
Scream queens are women in horror movies!!!
Better description
Scream queens are women and in some cases men in horror movies:):)
It's always good to look on the list first to get an impression about how it would look like later. So I do better understand for myself what suggesters are about to suggest. Because the list is the first that people see after klicking on the link on IMDb. If I got questions then, I read the rules. Anyway next I read the rules. It helps me to get a more fitting first impression.

i like kirk...
You like Kirk and we have a King poll in the works for rejected Kings of Scream!
Who is we? Us?

Breumaster, just remembered that William Shatner was in a horror movie and low and behold... He's indeed a scream king in this one...
(Edited)
Nice! Maybe I kick another option for him. ;) What's that movie?
But wait a little. Does he also scream when not torured? If he only screams by being totured, it would not fit the criteria. Everyone would scream by getting tortured physically. Scream queens scream by a thread they face. It's more based on fear and/or the imagination of what happens next.

Breumaster, I'm not demanding on Shatner's inclusion in the list and I haven't seen the film in entirety so I don't know whether he screams often. :) I'd say that 35 options available are already well enough.
How about Janet Leigh?
Jamie Leigh ... uh, sorry Lee had a good teacher. It's in the family. ;)

You're very welcome.
I still don't know how I'm going to decide my vote, though, except for the one of my three favorites that is getting the least votes. : ) Actors who can scream authentically amaze me.

Hi Breu, May I suggest two small edits to the intro? This is a really good intro, btw, and well written. If only I could speak and write Spanish -- or any second language -- half as well as you do with English.
('Edits in bold below.)
Scream queens are women in horror movies who scream on facing dangerous situations. It can be the threat of a psychopath or a wild animal or anything else able to hurt or even kill them. No matter what - they are clearly in the role of the threatened victim, even though they might defend themselves or at last strike back. This time there are also male screamers. Which of them do you think is the most impressive scream queen or king to you?(Please count the all-in-all-impression, not the amount of roles) Help them here.

Thank you. Did the changes. I'm sometimes confused when it comes to people. When using which and who. But maybe I'll get it sometimes. ;)
