Replacement Actors/Actresses for Horror Icons

Horror Quote Of The Moment

Welcome to Under The Morgue.

We have sections for each decade of film, from the 1910s onward, as well as sections for 10+ major franchises, close to 50 'smaller' franchises (containing five entries or less), creative writing, independent filmmaking, photography, music, Non-Horror films and TV shows, forum games, and boredom busters, and to top it all off there's an IM shoutbox at the bottom of the page for random chat. From the tame and 'kid sister friendly' to the psychological and mindbending to cheesy splatter flicks to hardcore torture-oriented horror, there's something here for everyone, so why not dive in?

Assuming original actors/actresses weren't available to reprise their famous roles, for one reason or another. Along with that, which actor/actress would you have them pitted against? For example, who would be your Nancy, or who would be your Ginny, etc...?

I want to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Freddy! As far as Friday the 13th, I'm not sure you can replace Betsy Palmer as Mrs. Voorhees, but Sean Young could give it a good try. And as far as the Alice character goes, I'd say Joey King, who played Christine in The Conjuring. She was my favourite of all the daughters in that movie and I think she's got a lot of potential.
