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.

As much as I love these guys, they just can't hold a candle to the masters... They don't have the same range, depth, or... I can't even define the qualities that are missing, maybe it's a 'legendary icon' sort of thing... Perhaps Bruce Campbell or Robert Englund can achieve something like that in 20 or 30 more years... Maybe the reason there are no equivalent modern masters, is simply the fact that they are 'modern'... I hope they get there someday.

WHAT?!... Just off the top of my head -
Robert Englund:
Galaxy of Terror
2001 Maniacs
Jack Brooks Monster Slayer
Bruce Campbell:
My Name is Bruce
Man With the Screaming Brain
The Woods
Kane Hodder:
Hatchet (Okay, that's not much of a stretch from Friday the Thirteenth...)
I really think you might be surprised if you check out their IMDB pages... Robert Englund's horrorography is quite extensive.

I absolutely considered Jeffrey Combs... But, I quickly threw him in with the other aforementioned...and to that list I would add Tony Todd, Ted Raimi, and Brad Dourif.

CLASS... Perhaps that's part of what the others are missing... Robert Englund kinda got a bit sleazy here and there (Zombie Strippers... I mean, I actually thought the movie was better than I expected it to be, but it certainly didn't do Englund's reputation any favors)...in the way of Corey Feldman.
