I understand the origional posters point .. there arent any SOLID greats like in the golden years of horror.
Bruce Campbell is the closest thing ..and even then .. he's all about camp.
I think the reason you'll never see this happen again is because of the dynamics - they've changed for horror.
Its all about the teen market now .. and the kids that star in these shows come and go
There were certain character actors that got used a lot - Richard Lynch, Billy Drago ... but even they grew too old for the horror demographic today and are stuck playing gangsters in direct to video grade z movies - and they didnt have the class or stature the golden oldies had.
I honestly cant see anyone today even close to people of the stature of a Christopher Lee, etc .. and i cant see the environment where they could exist happening in the forseeable future.

Good points urge. Another thing is I don't think actors of today want to get
type-cast in any certain genre.
