Greatest Single Performance in a Horror Film?

[HKreturns]

I've pondered this for a long time now. To me, it's between Anthony Perkins in Psycho (1960) and Max Schreck in Nosferatu (1922).

What do you guys think?

Out of that list, definitely Jack..but there are other good ones out there

I'd throw Jeffrey Combs from Reanimator, Linda Blair in the Exorcist, or Sigourney Weaver from Alien on there as well.

From that list, I'd probably go with Max Schreck.

I may ponder on it a little longer before I vote in the poll, though.

Ellen Burstyn in The Exorcist.
