Me: We’re going a bit obscure today with Dwight Frye. Most of the people on this list are instantly recognisable horror icons. Tell me how someone who barely has sixty acting credits on IMDb beat some of the more well known actors that got cut. Jay: He’s here because his roles, however few they might […]

Me: When we were coming up with our longlist of Best Horror Actors, Udo Kier wasn’t a name that immediately came to mind. For me, at least. What made you think of adding Udo Kier to our list? Jay: I’ve seen him in so many horror films over the years. He’s one of those not-the-main-star-but-always-there […]

Me: We’re talking about Christina Ricci today and it’s nice to be able to talk about someone my own age. Christina Ricci was one of those actors girls my age wanted to be. Her and Winona Ryder. Before we get started, we should probably mention why Winona didn’t make the cut. Jay: She really hasn’t […]

Me: Today we’re going to be talking about Bill Moseley and it’s the weirdest thing… I can picture the characters he’s played but not Bill Moseley himself. Jay: Well, he’s kind of an Average Joe. It’s his ability that sets him apart, which is why you remember the characters and not the man.  Me: One […]

Me: Adrienne Barbeau might be remembered best for her relationship with horror director, John Carpenter, but she’s a wonderful actor in her own right. What are your thoughts on Barbeau? Jay: I didn’t become aware of Adrienne Barbeau until… I think about Escape From New York. Then, it seemed like she was everywhere for awhile. […]

Me: I’m excited to talk about Lance Henriksen today! Jay: I am as well. He’s a tremendous actor. As with the likes of Robert Englund and Jeffrey Combs, the man is synonymous with (sci-fi) horror. For me, he’ll always be Bishop from Aliens – although my first exposure to Lance Henriksen was The Omen 2. […]

Me: Michael Berryman is an actor you’d recognise, even if you’re not familiar with his name. He’s a horror fixture who’s also done classics like Weird Science and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Jay: I remember Michael Berryman in Weird Science! He couldn’t have been onscreen more than five minutes but it was interesting […]

Me: Today, we’re going to be talking about an instantly recognisable horror figure: Bruce Campbell. There aren’t many people on this list who have their own puppet, but Bruce does. Jay: Which you own. Me: And I’m unashamed. What are your thoughts on Bruce Campbell? Jay: He’s been lucky. Bruce Campbell fell in with Sam […]
