The Horror Legends Recast

Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are three of the most iconic horror stars of all time. What I’ve been wondering is: if you had to remake their films for today, who would you cast in their roles? It’s a tough question, as all three were truly unique actors who we’ll probably never see the likes of again. Nevertheless, I’ve come up with three choices (VP: Geoffrey Rush, CL: Hugo Weaving, PC: Peter Capaldi) who I think could take on some of their iconic roles if they had to be remade. My suggested actors are all in their 60s now though, so it would be interesting to see some younger suggestions. Which modern day actors remind you of these three horror legends?
