!!!We need a new Horror Icon!!!
Hi folks, is it me or since Michael, Jason and Freddy (and a few others), we haven't had a horror icon, all through the 90s, no new icon just sequals to icons already existing. Are we doomed to admire the work of icons that r alread past their prime. Anyone have ideas on a new horror icon...?

Victor Crowley from Hatchet, Babyface from The Hills Run Red, or Leslie Veron from Behind the Mask would be my top three if it were up to me. Loved all three of those. Matter of fact, Id rather watch any of those than most of the Michael, Jason, or Freddy sequals.

those are good picks, but none of them grab you like those guys did in the 80s

There wasn't a horror icon in the '90s?
 and if you count Michael for the '80s you should count this guy for the '90s since that's where the bulk of his adventures took place:  Anyway, we have Sam, Victor, Leslie, and Jigsaw.

no way the scream guy is a horror icon, he was so weak, honestly i thought Jeepers Creepers would rise to take the throne, but it didn't happen.

considering that the series made a boatload of money you got a point, the fact that the killer change every movie, to me disqualifies him as a legit horror icon.

Honestly, the slasher genre has been bleed completly dry. Freddy vs Jason was an example of that. Its going to be hard to break any new ground on that front. After well over 20 years, collectively 23 sequals, and (soon to be 4) remakes just between those three characters it all been tapped. Not the mention the slew of post Halloween, one hit wonder slashers.
The slasher movie is dead, buried, dug up, pissed on, and buried again. As much as it pains me to say it, honestly, we may have to settle for Jigsaw. And belive me, nobody wants that less than I do. After the first one, those movies started blowing harder and harder.

it's agreed that horror is fiction, so anything is possible. With that being said, horror is suppose to influence your imagination. in the 80s they were many icons, some of which has been forgotten (Frank Zito: Maniac 1980) who were brutal in there own individual ways.
