Horror Hunks: Ryan Phillippe in I Know What You Did Last Summer

'He's got his hook in them...'

Now that the calendar has switched over to October, regular FH viewers know it's the start of spooky season and the beginning of my annual salute to the hunks of horror.   Horror Hunks is one of my favorite themes to explore on the site, especially given so many of todays hottest, and most talented actors got their start in horror films.  I also really love revisiting horror flicks I watched growing, and discovering new films each year, I'd never seen, or heard of before.

Most of actor Ryan Phillippe's early hits came out in my prime school time movie going years.  It was back in 1997 that Phillipe played the hot but privileged Barry Cox in I Know What You Did Last Summer.  The film followed four young friends bound by a tragic accident.  The four are reunited when they find themselves being stalked by a hook-wielding maniac in their small seaside town of Southport, North Carolina

I think the 1997 horror film was my first introduction to Phillippe, and like so many, I was instantly in lust.  No, there was no nudity in the film, but the actor wore a white tank top in his opening scenes, and that, along with the shower scene, was more than enough!

My motive for featuring this film, and actor Ryan Phillippe, was a little more than just a look back at the Kevin Williamson written teen horror flick.  I've also been wanting to feature Phillippe in my Actors & Skin series for awhile.  Today seemed a great excuse to do that.  I know, most of you have seen Phillippe's nude scenes multiple times, but there just might be something new if check out my series of pieces on the NEXT PAGE HERE:
