Who will take thier place?????

Hi new member here. I have been thinking which is usually not a good thing. Back in the last Century, there were huge stars such as Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Both Lon Chaney Sr. & Jr., Bela Lugosi, and to some extent Peter Lorre, Peter Cushing, and Christopher Lee. When you heard thier names you immediately thought of Horror movies. And the voices, I mean Vincent Price and Boris Karloff could recite Nursery Rhymes and make them seem creepy.

But in trying to think of who the "new Stars" are who might fill the old Horror Master’s shoes I got nothing. There are no movie stars that come close to these giants in Horror. The closest I could come was maybe Anthony Hopkins in his Hannibal Lector role and Robert Englund for his Freddy Kruger role but these are only two characters. The Greats played many characters in many movies and even TV. Anyone have any thoughts on who the new horror stars might be?

Yes mainly because it kind of fits in with both categories... and I wasn't sure if everyone read both areas...

I have to say I agree with you. There is no actor these days that is as good as the "old guys". By far, Christopher Lee was my favorite - I LOVE all those old Hammer movies. Udo Kier was in another favorite movie - Mark of the Devil. Roman Polanski in Fearless Vampire Killers. Just my opinion.
