I'm going to mention Elijah Wood, he seems to be doing more horror lately and can be insanely creepy. I'm not saying he can carry the torch right now but I feel like he's heading in that direction. Norman Reedus could be up there one day as well, he has B movies and big budget horror under his belt, a successful horror themed television show, and he's still doing horror(ish?) stuff with movies like Air. As for the old guard, most people have mentioned the actors I think of when I think of horror, Jack Nicholson is good in theory and if he returned to horror it could be amazing but I doubt that will happen. Two people I'd love to see go into the later years of their careers waving the horror flag if I had some insane cinematic wish granted would be Kurt Russel and Pam Grier.
