Me: Today we’ll be talking about John Carradine. What can you tell me about him? Jay: I dunno. Never met him. Me: Really? Jay: Really. Me: I swear to- Jay: Okay, okay. John Carradine has a massive list of acting credits, going as far back as 1930. Me: I was surprised by just how much […]

Me: Today, we’re going to be talking about the legend that is Tony Todd. Wanna give me an introduction? Jay: I first became aware of Tony Todd in the remake of Night of the Living Dead. After that, Candyman. Since then, a myriad of horror movies. Me: Tony Todd is capable of giving this look […]

Me: Today, We’re going to be talking about Ingrid Pitt and I’m going to let you start since she was one of the big Hammer actors. Have at it. Jay: Ingrid Pitt was one of the original scream queens. She was a Hammer girl, even though she did appear in Amicus films as well. If […]

Me: I’m a little amused by today’s choice because… Donald Pleasence. I mean… come on. Donald Pleasence. He’s the Bill Shatner of the horror world. Although… Shatner did do a pretty wild horror movie. What was that thing called? The one with the  melting faces? Jay: Devil’s Rain.  Me: That’s right. That’s why the Michael […]

Me: Shepis’s acting career starting in 1996 with the Troma movie, Tromeo and Juliet. She has 140+ acting credits on IMDb and just about all of them are horror. I know I’ve see her in tons of things but I couldn’t bring her face to mind. For me, Shepis is one of those actors who […]

Me: Number 4 on our list of The Best Horror Actors is the legend, Bela Lugosi. I’m gonna be honest… I’m way out of my depth here. While I have an okay knowledge of the old Universal films, I’ve only seen them a handful of times. So, when it comes to Bela Lugosi, you’re going […]

Me: Lin Shaye isn’t someone you’d expect to see on a list like this. She came onto the scene quite late in life – although she was in A Nightmare on Elm Street, back in 1984. Jay: I honestly don’t remember her in A Nightmare on Elm Street. It’s really only in the last ten […]

Me: I’m really excited to be talking about Robert Englund today. Because, you know, he’s the guy who kept me too afraid to sleep for most of my childhood. Hello, Freddy Kruger! (Goodbye, sleep.) Jay: I first noticed Robert Englund in V, which isn’t really horror. It’s probably good that V was my first exposure, […]

Today marks the first day of October and our look at thirty-one of the best horror actors. This wasn’t an easy list to make. After twenty “definites” or so, we had to fight to secure the last 10 spots from over seventy talented, well-known, iconic, and/or inspiring actors. Today’s pick was one of the easy […]
