Who is your favourite Horror Actor?
What are their best performances?
What do you think they bring to the genre?
I like actors and actresses that dont just act in the horror genre, but act in dramas and theatre , always more skillfull, nuanced and credible. Many modern day horror films could benefit from the casting of an experienced and talented actor/actress, instead of using a cast consisting of young attractive and talentless "teenagers".
I love Anthony Perkins in Psycho, He is perfect for this role,his pencil thin physique, face and demeanour, bely his evil psychotic side and then embellish it. He convinces as an unhinged, schizophrenic murderer.
Also Shelley Duvall is amazing in The Shining, the fear expressed in her eyes is unmatched to this day.
Hands down, Mr. Doug Bradley. As a head's up, we've done this subject before.
