Personally I tend to like newer horror movies, 1980-to present better than older movies. I think that horror along with fantasy and science fiction is well served by modern special effects technology. It is also often more easy to relate to modern movies, and especially to the female characters who in a very huge number of older movies more or less had the role of damsel in distress and little else.

Now I am not saying older horror movies are bad, many of them are very good, and it is amazing to think of how they made the effects with the technology they had at the time, hours upon hours of creativity and art lies behind every effect. I certainly appreciates older horror movies and I often watch them but I tend to prefer newer productions.
