78. Whit Bissell



Bissell started his career as a Hollywood bit player in the 1940's. By the early 50's he was already a very familiar face, usually playing a scientist, doctor, or military officer, in classic horror and sci-fi flicks such as THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON, TARGET EARTH, and MONSTER ON CAMPUS. He had the distinct honor of playing the evil mad scientist in both I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF and I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN.

By the late 50's/early 60's he was fixture guest star on dozens of TV series. His best remembered television role is probably Lt. Gen. Kirk on The Time Tunnel.

Bissell continued appearing regularly in guest roles in just about every series imaginable during the 70's and was still acting well into the 1980's in shows like The Incredible Hulk, The Dukes of Hazzard, Falcon Crest, and Hart to Hart. He passed away in 1996 at the age of 87.

79. PETER CUSHING: I don't think too many would argue with this inclusion although Cushing was always a first rate talent and brought it to whatever he worked upon it. Of course he's most famous for his Dr. Frankenstein and Dr. Van Helsing Hammer roles but Cushing also appeared in THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN, THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1959), THE FLESH AND THE FIENDS, THE MUMMY (1959), NIGHT CREATURES, THE GORGON, DR. TERROR'S HOUSE OF HORRORS, THE SKULL, SHE, ISLAND OF TERROR, the Dr. Who films, ISLAND OF THE BURNING DOOMED, TORTURE GARDEN, THE BLOOD BEAST TERROR, CORRUPTION, SCREAM AND SCREAM AGAIN, THE VAMPIRE LOVERS, INCENSE FOR THE DAMNED, THE HOUSE THAT DRIPPED BLOOD, TWINS OF EVIL, I MONSTER, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, FEAR IN THE NIGHT (1972), ASYLUM, DR. PHIBES RISES AGAIN, FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE, NOTHING BUT THE NIGHT, THE CREEPING FLESH, AND NOW THE SCREAMING STARTS!, HORROR EXPRESS, SHATTER, MADHOUSE, THE BEAST MUST DIE, THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES, LEGEND OF THE WEREWOLF, THE GHOUL, AT THE EARTH'S CORE, SHOCK WAVES, THE UNCANNY and MYSTERY ON MONSTER ISLAND.

No.80 - James Arness. Possibly best known as Marshall Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke", he also appeared with John Wayne in films like "Big Jim McLain", "Hondo" and "The Sea Chase". However to B-Movie fans he will always be remembered as the "Intelligent Carrot" in "The Thing From Another World" and for his role as Robert Graham in the giant ant classic "Them!".

83. Beverly Garland



http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0307500/

Unoffical scream queen of the 50's, Beverly Garland played a huge variety of roles in mostly b to z budget films. She specialized in sci-fi, horror, westerns, and just about every other genre produced by studois like A.I.P. , including true classics such as IT CONQUERED THE WORLD, NOT OF THIS EARTH (as allhallowsday sez: "WHY CAN'T I OWN A COPY OF THIS?!?"), THE ALLIGATOR PEOPLE,  and CURUCU: BEAST OF THE AMAZON.

She also has a long list of television credits, including the wife of Fred McMurray in the later seasons of My Three Sons,  that continues to this day.






Some classic examples of Garland 'Scream Queen' roles

84.  RUSS TAMBLYN.  Russ got off to a great B-start starring as a drug dealing hepcat juvenile delinquent opposite Mamie Van Doren in 1958's HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL!, but then he landed a part in WEST SIDE STORY and we thought we'd lost him forever.  Fortunately, he fell in with Al Adamson who rescued his career from the Hollywood crapper by casting him in THE FEMALE BUNCH, and a B-movie legend was reborn!

HIGH SCHOOL CONFIDENTIAL! (1958), THE HAUNTING (1963), THE WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS (1966), THE FEMALE BUNCH (1969), SATAN'S SADISTS (1969), DARCULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN (1971), THE LAST MOVIE (1971), NECRPMANCER (1988). WIAZARDS OF THE DEMON SWORD (1995), ATTACK OF THE 60 FOOT CENTERFOLDS (1995).

86.  JACK NICHOLSON.  True, Jack hit it big and left B-movies far behind, but how can you leave at a Roger Corman regular who starred in such films as LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, THE RAVEN, THE TERROR, RIDE IN THE WHIRLWIND, THE SHOOTING, HELL'S ANGELS ON WHEELS, and PSYCH-OUT, not to mention EASY RIDER, CHINATOWN, TOMMY, and THE SHINING?

87 - PATRICK SWAYZE - Another mainstream success with strong ties to cheesy genre pictures. Roadhouse, Steel Dawn, Dirty Dancing, Red Dawn and Skatetown USA are a sampling of his resume.

I have to agree about Jack! I have THE WILD RIDE on DVD( one of those cheapie dollar store things)...a peek at future greatness...and a fun movie in it's own right!

89. Elizabeth Russell





Exotic-looking and eternally mysterious Russell is best known for her roles in Val Lewton's 1940's series of classic b-film horrors. Russell had small to starring roles in most of them, including CAT PEOPLE, CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE, BEDLAM, and THE 7TH VICTIM. Russell's image appeared in THE UNIVITED (1944) as the portrait and the ghost(?) Mary Meredith and she had a major supporting role in Universal's 'Inner Sanctum' mystery WEIRD WOMAN.

Most appropriate for this site, though, Russell played Bela Lugosi's ancient wife Countess Lorenz who needed the 'gland fluids' of blushing brides to stay young in THE CORPSE VANISHES.

The scenes where Russell (in old age makeup) screeches and whines at Lugosi to hurry up and extract the fluid from the brides are some of the finest in poverty row horror history!

Elizabeth Russell certainly has a place on any 'Top 10 Favorite Actresses' list I'd ever make.

No.90 - Randolph Scott. He appeared in movies such as "She" and "Last Of The Mohicans" in the 'Thirties but his place on this list is based on the large number of 'B' westerns that he starred in in the Forties and Fifties. Often teaming up with director Budd Boetticher on films like "Commanche Station" and "Ride Lonesome" Scott also costarred in the early Peckinpah offering "Ride The High Country". Even many of his lesser-known films such as "Seventh Cavalry", "The Tall T" and "The Cariboo Trail" are highly enjoyable.
