Horror Movie Heroes

If you love horror movies, you have got to have a few favorite characters or actors that are famous for their horror movie roles. At the top of the list, Bela Lugosi is a legend. Vincent Price is another horror movie classic hero, as is Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone. Jack Nicholson is a more recent horror movie hero. Also high up on the list are Lon Chaney Jr. and Sr. Elsa Lanchester did a great job in "Bride of Frankenstein".

Here is a list of some great horror movies you may remember, which include a few of the movies that Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price and others starred in:

  • Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde starring John Barrymore
  • Blue Beard starring John Carradine
  • The Corpse Vanishes starring Bela Lugosi
  • Night of the Living Dead starring Judith O'Dea
  • Doomed to Die starring Boris Karloff
  • The Phantom of the Opera starring Lon Chaney, Sr.
  • The Indestructible Man starring Lon Chaney, Jr.
  • The Hunchback of Notre Dame Lon Chaney, Sr.
  • Nosferatu starring Max Schreck
  • Swamp Women starring Mike Connors
  • The World Gone Mad starring Pat O'Brien
  • The Little Shop of Horrors starring Jack Nicholson
  • Tormented starring Richard Carlson
  • The Monster Walks starring Rex Lease
  • Monster from a Prehistoric Planet starring Tamio Kawaji
  • The Gorilla starring The Ritz Brothers
  • A Shriek in the Night starring Ginger Rogers
  • Bloodlust starring Robert Reed
  • The Amazing Mr. X starring Turhan Bay
  • Last Woman on Earth starring Robert Towne
  • The Bat starring Vincent Price
  • The House on Haunted Hill starring Vincent Price
  • The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price

Some of the actors starring in the above movies do not seem to conform to the genre. Imagine Ginger Rogers not starring in a musical, but as the star in the movie "A Shriek in the Night"!

Horror movies are not everyone's 'cup of tea', but there are sure some great ones out there. Some are definitely corny, some are super scary and some have excellent story lines. A lot of the old horror movies may seem 'cheesy' now, but in their time they were seen as classics to be remembered. And it wasn't for nothing that certain people rose to the top as actors in the horror movie genre. Bela Lugosi, for instance, could chill anyone's bones. And Vincent Price certainly had a wicked laugh.

Female horror movies heroes could include: Sigoureny Weaver (from the Aliens movies), Mila Jovovich (from the Resident Evil series), Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween), Sissy Spasek (in Stephen King's Carrie)and Janet Leigh (in Psycho).

It is up to you to choose which horror movie hero is your favorite, male or female, old or new, but if you love horror movies, past or present, you are sure to have one.
