Horror movies are not exactly known for being cinematic masterpieces that attract the highest quality thespians.

But for many extremely well-known actors and actresses, their big break came in a scary movie. One of these actors is Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey, who starred in 1994’s “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation” (alongside Renee Zellweger!).

In 2011, Matthew McConaughey recalled his time playing the villain in the horror movie “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation.” “It was carnie, man, we were shooting in 115-degree weather, myself, Renee Zellweger, 16-hour days,” the Texas native said on “George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.” “It was a lot of fun. It was like ‘anything goes.'”
