Who is your all time favourite actor in a horror film?
I have had to trim down so many such as Peter Cushing, Jeffrey Combs, Lance Henriksen, Tom Atkins and Doug Bradley, but my fave actor is Donald Pleasence. Prince of Darkness, Phanton of Death, Phenonema, and of course Dr Loomis in the Halloween films, I think he was amazing in those films and the entire series would have been so much worse without him.
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before... He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
- Kurt Vonnegut

I love Donald Pleasance! He's been in some really cool films! I particularly enjoyed "Alone In The Dark" and "The Freakmaker".
also really like Jeffrey Combs. I love Re-animator of course, but my favorite of his is From Beyond! One of my all-time favorites!
Oh, and Robert Englund! Love him almost like a father! And Buck Flower! He was the MAN!

Bruce Campbell is one of my main faves, but when it comes to classic horror, Vincent Price is quite simply, THE MAN! Also cool are Doug McClure ("Humanoids from the Deep," "At the Earth's Core," "Land that Time Forgot") and John Saxon ("Zombie Death House," "Nightmare on Elm St.," "Blood Beach," et al)!

Id say Bruce Campbell, but he is mostly in more comedy and adventure related movies so i dont really see him as an horror actor anymore.
Hmm. I think ill go with Vincent Price and/or Christopher Lee.

There are so many good ones. Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead will always be one of my favs), Vincent Price (he is a God when it comes to horror), Robert Englund (as Freddy he will never be replaced), Jeffrey Combs (he is just a weird one), Lance Henriksen (awsome voice), and of course Donald Pleasence (Mr. Price is a God of horror, but Mr. Pleasence is a king).
Edit: Oh how could I forget Tobin Bell, Tony Todd, Tom Savini (he is just way too awsome), and Ken Foree. There are just too many to name.
