How Adam Scott became an accidental horror movie star

Adam Scott grew up watching horror movies at, as he describes it, "probably too young" an age. But he never set out to work specifically in the genre. Even still, horror seemed to follow him around from the very beginning. His first major film role was in Hellraiser IV in 1996.

"It wasn't because I was a Hellraiser fan," he says. "It was because it was the job I got. " Later, he took a starring role in Krampus not because it was horror, but because it evoked the kinds of '80s movies he grew up with, like Poltergeist and E. T.
