Never said anything about any of them starting out in horror- that was a column from a few weeks ago, with an entirely different group of actors.<BR/><BR/>Never said any of them are "household names", either...again, that's from the other column.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-52671128718287582632009-02-26T11:12:00.000-05:002009-02-26T11:12:00.000-05:00In what sense did Tom Atkins and Karen Black start...In what sense did Tom Atkins and Karen Black start out in horror?<BR/><BR/>Atkins first roles are in the Frank Sinatra film "The Detective" and the comedy "Where's Poppa?".<BR/><BR/>If anything, Karen Black's career went in the other direction. She started out in mainstream films and ended up in horror flicks mostly by the late 70's/early 80's.<BR/><BR/>Bill Mosley, Ken Foree and Debbie Rochon are household names?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-35803784020145072012009-02-25T23:14:00.000-05:002009-02-25T23:14:00.000-05:00Bruce Campbell is most certainly the man.

It is such a gratifying experience to just have him show up in a movie, but then we get to watch him ACT, shooting guns & bedding ladies, exuding the Atkins factor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-21161364977821369932009-02-25T13:39:00.000-05:002009-02-25T13:39:00.000-05:00I'm hoping there will be an excuse soon to do an e...I'm hoping there will be an excuse soon to do an entire column dedicated to Barbeau!
