I agree with the great choices cited by Officer Torch. For this "A to Z" list I would add Atwill and Zucco. (I seem to remember an old book or magazine article about character actors titled "From Atwill to Zucco"). Lionel Atwill and George Zucco can both be seen in House of Frankenstein (1944), although not in the same scenes.

Dwight Frye, the ultimate madman, especially memorable as Renfield in Dracula (1931).

Elsa Lanchester, brilliant as both the Bride of Frankenstein and as the original monster maker, Mary Shelley.

As Torch said, there are many more.
