Who will be considered a horror legend in the future?
I was thinking about who will be considered as legends in the horror genre forty years from now. I know that there are very few current "horror only" actors. Actually Robert Englund is the only one...

Yes, Burton especially. There's a ton of Burton-bashing on this board, but no one -- not Dante, not Landis, not Argento, not even Spielberg -- has delivered the sheer quantity of major genre films...

Rick, your adjectives there were all quantitative rather than qualitative. Yes, but only because I wanted to avoid starting a, you know, thing about it. Like this is apt to become, I suppose. I know...

We're not in total disagreement, Rick. I would just rate the amount of "pretty good" lower, and the "flawed" higher. But my real problem with his body of work is the strong degree of gawdawful...

At the risk of suffering a tedious lecture again, I'm a Burton lover, and nominate him as a horror icon. Dark Shadows excepted...

I'm glad to see some fellow Burton-supporters, but I'm beginning to feel awfully lonely in my affection for DARK SHADOWS. I don't love it, mind you. I don't think it's one of Burton's best, by any...

I suspect I'd like the exact same film more if it wasn't directed by Burton, I was feeling a little embarrassed that he'd reverted to such a pitch-perfect copy of the piss-takes of him.

At first, I thought Dark Shadows was gonna be great. I thought the intro was typical for Burton at his best. But the script ended up being terrible. The tone was all over the place and it had no idea...

Rick Baker and Joe Dante get my vote.

I'm pretty sure that 30 years from now, this will be called the age of del Toro in terms of horror films.

del Toro definetly does not compromise.

I've always considered actor Bill Mosely as a Dwight Frye. Frye is most known as Renfield and Fritz, but has appeared in other horror and non-horror roles. Mosely is mostly known for Choptop from...

Guillermo Del Torro hasnt made a great deal of horror films though. They are genre benders and so I'm less inclined to consider him.

Something occurred to me a couple of days ago. There actually is a current actor who the general public thinks of as big horror star: Anthony Hopkins. Hannibal Lecter is probably the highest profile...
