Sam Neil is great - he was also in possession ...
But his body of work is so broad that he isnt thought of as a 'horror actor'
Jamie Lee Curtis was in a few when she started (halloweens, terror train) but that fizzled out and she became mainstream as well.
We're grasping at straws here ...
There just isnt the same climate in film to ever have adult movie stars being known mainly for horror.
Robert Eglund is Freddy .. he's also been in a number of other horrors as a character actor ... but he really cant hold a candle to Peter Cushing, Christpher Lee, Vincent Price or the others mentioned in skill or stature ..
Those names will be synonymous with horror long after all of these other people are forgotten ...
(maybe not by true horror fans - but certainly as regular household names)
