For millions of horror TV watchers in the 1990s and early 2000s, Alyson Hannigan is synonymous with Willow Rosenberg, the character she played through 7 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. From a scrappy sidekick, she evolved into a fierce Wicca and a queer icon. Hannigan also recently appeared in the hit horror-comedy You Might Be the Killer, where she played comic book store owner and pop-culture aficionado Chuck.
