5-Sherman Howard (Bub from Day of the Dead)

3-R. Lee Ermey (TCM remake, Willard, The frighteners, Se7en, Body Snatchers)
2-Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, ED2, AoD, Bubba Ho-Tep,
1-Vincent Price

Best Actress: Jamie Lee Curtis by a mile.

I was wondering whether someone would come up with my list before I got around to it!

I just want to add that Robert Englund is the pporest example of a horror star since Lon Chaney Jr. Both were great in the horror role that made them famous (Chaney, the Wolfman; Englund, Freddy Krueger), but neither did anything else worth celebrating.

every actor we are naming are great. but in the future, will we be naming the same actors or will another great generation of actors who like to delve into horror come along. cuz right now, most horror movies have teenieboppers in them. and i'll be damn if they ever go on a list like this.
oh yeah. i would have to add michaell berryman into my list.

i see a lot of current actors creeping into lists .. isnt this supposed to be 'classic' movie stars - by a date range ?

how old do the classics need to be. cuz come on. every actor that has been on a list has been in a classic horror movie. how old does a movie have to be to be consider a classic.
just because a movie is old doesn't make it a classic. i consider movies up to this year classics.

yep, we've had this discussion before ..

i'm just going by the forum heading :

Classic Horror Movies
Horror and monster movies from the 1960's and before.

alrighty then........
