Jenna Ortega was perfectly cast as Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s Wednesday, and the decision may have been helped by her gory death in another horror movie. Though Wednesday was her big breakout role in 2022, Ortega had already been familiar with the horror genre for nearly a decade beforehand, as her second feature film was 2013’s Insidious: Chapter 2. The same year that Wednesday debuted, Ortega appeared in four horror movies: Scream (2022), Studio 666, X, and American Carnage, combining to cement her status as a certified Scream Queen.
