Who can carry the torch?

First Vincent Price, then Peter Cushing, now Christopher Lee.

Who will carry on the legacy of the true horror masters?

Tim Curry was the closest my generation was able to come, and he has retired.

The closest I can think of with the class, sophistication and style of the above mentioned would be Benedict Cumberbatch. Though his genre isn't horror specific.

I can't think of anyone who is particularly known for horror...

If you mean who will carry the torch for the old brigade i dont think anyone is left.As for the now brigade Kane Hodder springs to mind.

Bruce Campbell

Robert Englund

Kane Hodder

Anthony Hopkins

Jamie Lee Curtis

But with the loss of Christopher Lee and Betsy Palmer it's the end of an era. A tough year for horror.

I could get yelled at here but i wouldnt put Bruce as a horror torch bearer.When was the last time he made a horror movie,and more-so when was the last time he played anything straight and instead of joking around.

Dont get me wrong,i love Campbell,but a horror legend,i dont think so.

Neither would i put Hopkins in too,a fantastic actor i have no doubt but horror is not his genre.

The only person I agree with is Curtis. What other horror was Campbell, Englund, Hodder, or Hopkins in??
