While the Devil hasn’t shown his head in Salem for a while, Days of Our Lives has still delivered some horrific moments, such as when EJ was shot or John was engulfed in the meth lab explosion. Star Stacy Haiduk, who plays the seductive and scheming Kristen DiMera, is no stranger to horror movies and TV shows. The actress had previously urged fans to buckle up for her vampire horror short, Brand New Cadillac, in October 2024. And recently, she shared some gruesome fun she had at a horror convention.
She Became a Bride
Haiduk shared a video on Instagram set to Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s rock classic, You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet. The video was a fast-motion time-lapse of her having extensive makeup and prosthetics applied to her, giving her a stitched-together, Bride of Frankenstein-type look, yet unique and refreshing. Despite the heavy makeup effects, Haiduk’s incredible beauty shone through.
The post’s caption read, “I was so grateful to have been part of this talented group of artists!!!! When a friend who I worked with on Superboy @rob_burmans_lab asked to be a model for this glamorous monster, I said YES!!! The process took 5 hours!!!. The talented makeup artist @sheilabondmakeup did such an amazing transformation!!!!! Brava!!!! Hair: by @jordynjm.makeup Stunning dress by Jennifer McMannus @prettyevilco Shadows💋.”

Haiduk shared more videos post-makeup application in her stories, where she’s showing off the amazing final result. One video was captioned, “And our wonderful Bride played by Stacy Haiduk.”
