In horror, like in other genres, there are actors and actresses who always make us think of horror when we hear their names. When film was in its early years, there was Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney. In the 50s, 60s and 70s we had Vincent Price and Christopher Lee. In the 80's and early 90's, there was Robert Englund, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Tony Todd. But is there anyone in Hollywood today who can call forth the terror of a victim or horror of a monster they've portrayed just by the mere mention of their name?
While directors and writers of horror are usually the ones focused on, this thread is for those actors and actresses who stand there and get gallons of blood dumped on them by said directors and have to say sometimes silly lines by said writers. But are there any that can be considered icons of horror in today's cinemas? Some actors that are getting there are Milla Jovovich and Brad Dourif, but there has to be more.
