Modern Scream Fiends List

So we've all heard of Scream Queens, but what about the men who so constantly haunt our horror films? Don't they deserve a strange moniker as well? To that end, we have come up with the Scream Fiends. These are the actors who appear in so many horror movies that you will become familiar with their faces quickly. The qualification for this list is simple. The actor must have appeared in four horror films. That's it.
You should know that it is often the case that when we see the name of one of these actors on the box we will rent the movie just to see him. In most cases, we know these men by name and face and can spot them in even the most inconspicuous roles. Enjoy.
The list is divided in two parts: Classic Scream Fiends and Modern Scream Fiends. This is the Modern list. To qualify, an actor had to appear in his first horror movie after 1970. Because of the shorter time span they tend to have a smaller resume. The 1970 division was a hard one to come to but every time I tried to move it to a different time it made even less sense. If you have a better idea for when the division should occur, email us with your full rationale and we'll think about changing it.
One of us is excited to announce that (the Great) William Shatner has now appeared in enough horror films to qualify for Scream Fiend status, rather than solely a Special Mention.
