     The only ones I know of are: Curtis, Wray (who did a lot more work than   
   just King Kong which is only film usually talked a-boot, a little Canadian   
   lingo for ya) Campbell, Jackson, Black, Elvira (who's a hoot), Candace   
   Hilligoss who seemed be sleepwalking in   
      I noticed not on the list was Evelyn Ankers who was in a several   
   Universal horror films in the '40s.    
      Another was Mary Philbin in the original Phantom of the opera in 1925,   
   who made other films in the '20s as well.

   > On t hat -- I think it sucks that there's no true horror in movies any more   
   --  they substitute gore & jump-scares for actual suspense & eerieness.   
      
     I totally agree.     
     I don't care for the bloody gore and all in today's films.   
     Give me a good plot, a good story and I'm happy.   
     To really enjoy a movie, to me, it has to be believable, it could happen,   
   etc.  Those are creepier than something like Frankenstein, a Michael   
   Meyers-type character, some monster from space, etc.   
     Of course a lot of those films were allegories.  The monster in the film   
   representing the evil red menace in the disguise of average red blooded   
   American, et.
