When we was told Horror icons, i was thinking more along the likes of iconic monster bad guys like Freddy, Myers and Voorhees and characters that had been in more than one film.
Didn't even think about individual one off creatures or horror stars, or good guys as some people have mentioned.
If i had Barbara Steele would have featured somewhere i'm sure.
still it made narrowing stuff down a bit easier.
