I will list more in a bit but this one couldn't be a better pick in my book.
Fred Gwynne in "Pet Semetary"
Fred Gwynne as Judd in Pet Semetary. That film is not even on the horror map without his performance.

Didn't see her name listed yet...still the first person that comes to mind whenever this question comes up
Marilyn Burns as Sally Hardesty in the original TCM.
The dinner table scene is one of the grittiest, most intense performances I've ever seen and still holds up to me after all these years.

Definitely... also Nicholson of course.
My first thoughts went to the entire cast of John Carpenter's THE THING.
