Sid Haig
In 2003, Haig starred in Rob Zombie's debut film "House of 1000 Corpses", as Captain Spaulding. The role revived Haig's acting career, earning him a "Best Supporting Actor" award in the thirteenth Annual Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, and induction into the Horror Hall of Fame. His image as Captain Spaulding has become iconic in today's horror genre. Haig reprised his role as Spaulding in Zombie’s sequel to "House of 1000 Corpses", entitled "The Devil's Rejects"
House of Wax (1953 film)
"House of Wax" revitalized the film career of Vincent Price, who had been playing secondary character parts and occasional sympathetic leads since the late 1930s. After this high-profile role, Price was in high demand to play fiendish villains, mad scientists and assorted other deranged characters in genre films such as "The Tingler", "The Masque of the Red Death" and "The Abominable Dr. Phibes". Supporting player Carolyn Jones, whose career had barely begun when she appeared in "House of Wax", found her widest and most lasting fame eleven years later as Morticia Addams in the TV comedy horror spoof "The Addams Family".
