Tough? This is nearly impossible to decide.
Boris Karloff, only by a whisker, because he pioneered the horror star genre. Much respect to Mr Price though.

Again...I love Bruce Campbell. But I'd challenge you to name 5 great horror movies he's been in. Name 5.

Boris Karloff defined the genre, and Price ran it for nearly two decades.

Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, Maniac Cop

From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money and Man With The Screaming Brain...Well, I don't know if those were considered "great", but I really liked them :)

I love Bruce Campbell, but I seriously couldn't see him beating Vincent Price...Although Jack Nicholson taking out Bruce Campbell really surprised me

I would consider three of those good horror movies. And one of 'em's pushing.
Now let's look at the other side:

Vincent Price Filmography

All I'm saying is that if we're truly looking for the most iconic horror star, Vincent Price, by statistics and history, runs circles around Bruce.
