The first example is of course, Johnny Depp. Anyone who knows me knows he is my favorite actor, no question.
And the movie? A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Playing Glen, the main character (Nancy)'s boyfriend in 1984, he had the misfortune of dying one of the most unusual deaths in horror. Death by bed-suck.
Good ole' Freddy found Glen in his dreams and sucked him into his bed, along with his tv and other odds and ends. A volcano of blood then erupted and splashed all over the entire room. Quite unique, even for a horror movie.
Johnny had a cameo in 'Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare' - shows he's not afraid to fess up to his roots.
Unlike alot of stars, Johnny has never tried to hide from his 'horror-ble' beginnings.
In fact, he has thrived on dark, brooding, and sometimes even malicious characters.

Examples would include:
Sleepy Hollow (1998)
The Astronaut's Wife (1999)
From Hell (2000)
Pirates of the Caribbean (2003-2007)
Secret Window (2004)
Sweeney Todd (2007)
Here's hoping he doesn't lose his feel for the genre anytime soon.
