Favorite horror actor
 

Simple question: Who is your favorite genre actor of all time?

Mine would have to be (aside from Bruce Campbell) John Saxon. I love that guy. Everything from Nightmare on Elm Street to Blood Beach to Welcome to Spring Break-he's great. I just got his Enter the Dragon action figure today.

Boris Karloff. Anybody know better actor ?

Kurt Russel is da best:)

i liked donald pleasence but hes dead (im a big fan of the halloween series) well id say prolly
candyman-tony todd
freddy-robert englund
michael-george wilbur
jason-kane hodder

Any particular reason why you chose George Wilbur over the other six or seven guys that played Myers?

Which one was George Wilbur in?

4 and 6 I believe.

Robert Englund and Warwick Davis.

Jeff Combs.

I loved him in everything from Re-Animator to the Frighteners.

I forgot about Kurt Rusell and Doug Bradley. You are right Killer Clown#1 Kurt Russel is the best (unforgettable The things and Escape from NY). In the other hand Doug Bradley as Pinhead, in my opinion, is one of the most terryffying serial killer in horror genre. Of course Boris Karloff was brillant. He was a godfather of the many moder actors.

Good answer.

Sean u beat me!!! I will also go with Jeff Combs! Just watched re-animator today. Getting close to halloween time to watch them all again.

the first name to come to mind would be bruce campbell, the king of b movies.

Karloff all the way. Aside from Frankenstein and The Mummy, check him out in The Raven, The Old Dark House and The Black Cat.

sorry i aint replyed in a while but i say george cuz hes the only one who played michael more than once

i gotta go with mr. bruce campbell. he is the king of b movies. jeffrey combs is close. but i see combs as not being up to par to campbell

That is what I was thinking. Good deal.

i am saying Kurt Russell! the guy was fantastic in The Thing! When i heard the game was coming out, i wanted to play it, but then all that is the same is the scenery, rough storyline and aliens... i wanted to play as Kurt!!!!!!!

Bill Mosely for sure.

There you go- someone with perspective. Along with Lorre & Lugosi they will always be the kings of horror.

Nobody in the last 50 years, with the exceptions of Lee & Cushing, can touch the quality of their performances.

For me:

1. Vincent Price
2. Boris Karloff
3. Bela Lugosi
4. Bruce Campbell
5. Dwight Frye

i dont have a favorite horror actor.

i have favorite actors - but i dont think of them as genre specific

This is my first answer.
Reanimator, From Beyond and especially his amazing role in the Frighteners have made him my #1 for years. I don't care how bad the movie is, I'll still watch it if he's in it.

Also, Brad Dourif.

I grew up watching the Hammer films, so for me Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee will always be synonymous with both horror and quality
