Best Horror Movie Actors
This list looks at the talent behind the disfigured faces.He talks, he can be funny and a real madman at the same time, and he can really act. All the silent killers don't need good actors. They are being paid to walk around. Freddy in the movie was amazing, Robert Englund did a terrific job being Freddy (NOT FREDDIE, PEOPLE), and the new Nightmare movie, ugh, it sucked without Robert as Freddy!... One more thing... Is it just me, or but when Freddy's memories happen in 'Freddy's Dead', don't he look like John Deacon a little bit? Please, I am serious. At one point.
Of course the people who played the biggest a-hole ever (Jason) are above the greatest actor of all time. Robert has a way of making Freddy seem a little unreal yet real, and he's got a walk, a stance, and of course he's just got style! I also did some research... The only editing they do to make Freddy's voice is that they slow it down a bit. That is Robert's voice (not his norm voice, his Freddy voice)!
The most amazing horror actor I have ever seen in my life... The first time I saw "Friday The 13th Part 7" with my friend, I loved it. After The Movie Was Over I looked over to my friend Taylor and said "I HAVE to find out who plays as Jason in this movie! Whoever played as him was amazing! " Eventually I found out it was Kane Hodder and still love his acting to this day!
Kane Hodder is so much more than a stunt man in a mask. Even in non speaking roles (Jason, Victor Crowley) he brings emotion and real character to the role with his body language. I would drink the man's bath water. No contest, Kane Hodder is the BEST horror movie actor period.
He basically told the story of Halloween, through his pursuit of Michael Myers. Pleasance put his heart and soul into his 5 appearances.
Richard created what we know as Jason. To be talented enough to scare us to death without saying a word... is truly the sign of an incredible actor than does not have to speak to be able to express his emotion. Sorry guys but I have followed him for years and think he is an awesome actors. Whis he would come back and do more. Richard we miss you...
Richard is the best of the Jasons. Not only was he the FIRST Jason to wear the mask, he created several of Jason's mannerisms that were seen in the later films. He was the first big man to play the role and served as the prototype that defined the character.
Doug Bradley's portrayal of Clive Barker's Lead Cenobite Pinhead was both monstrous and disturbing. Combined with Clive Barker's sadomasochistic flair, the movie came to life painted on a backdrop of lust, torture, and above all else: Superb Acting. Bradley's performance reached out and took your hand, only to immediately yank it off and beat you across the face with it. A truly iconic master of his character who, armed with a sharp wit and a sharper filleting knife can really make you cringe in fear.
Linda Blair deserves the number one spot. Has anyone here ever seen the exorcist
In 10th really this man should be top with karloff, price, and Cushing these men scared the life out of many fans my favorite is the wicker man but of course he will be best remembered for Dracula.
Lee, along with Karloff, Cushing and Price are in a class of their own.
This man should be in the top ten! He was the best Dracula that I ever saw!
I think that he was a good movie actor and best at playing dracula.
His chilling tones are unforgettable! I vant to drink your blood!
I think. She was great. In misery
Loved him in tales from the crypt where he played grimsdyke and van helsing of course.
Peter Lorre is one fantastic star in horror classics. He starred in M, Mad Love, Beast with Five Fingers and other horror classics & is one of the top 10 in my opinion
