Didnt include Bela Lugosi?
Dang.
Tell a kid to imatate Dracula."I vant to drink yer blooood!"
In a BELA voice.
Bela is Dracula.
Karloff-Price-Lorre has a great voice.
But NO ONE had lines like Lugosi_scenes-yes.
But lines-NO.
Lugosi could SPEAK creepy.
He could take the very basic-and in Ed Woods case-most inane s**t-and make you believe HE believed it. Be it DRACUAL,WHITE ZOMBIE,or BRIDE OF THE MONSTER.He was-and is-the BEST. He not only worked in old horror films-and some very Bad ones at that.
He lived it.
Hard core.
Were punks.
Just to remind you-
This guy was 72.
And he was f**king SERIOUS.

Dam-Mel Blanc.
Good choices. There are few female voices listed here. Lets see if we can fix that. In no particular order we have:
Lucille Ball
Audrey Hepburn
Katherine Hepburn,my all time favorite actress. Her voice was smooth and tough and haughty and tender....great voice.
