Favorite era of Horror

[Elvis_Christ]

What's everyone's favorite era of horror films? I prefer the 80s where the exploitation/video nasties were everywhere.

I have to agree the 70's were good but the 80's took it to a whole new level

[hellfire1]

the 80's. seems like all the good horror flicks i've seen are from that era ( along with the late 70's ), but then again i was just a kid...

Yeh the magority of my favorites came from the 80s everything kinda turned to shit after that. The 70s had some gems too of course it was probably the genres most defining point.

The Eighties!! By the far, the winner of the horror era has to be the eighties. Senseless gore, endless slasher flicks, pathetic acting, terrible scripts and laughable plot lines. Those were the days of horror. I lived in fear of Freddy getting me. I was sure Micheal Jackson was a werewolf. And the fashion was the scariest of it all. ;)

80's by far because that is when Jason, myers, freddy, pinhead, and diijn first appeared plus it just had great movies

wasn't the Djinn in the 90's?
I like the 70's exploitation horror stuff, plus the ones like Exorcist and Alien

80`s most deffinatley, the era of mouth of madness

Silent era, 60's, 70's, and 80's all tie for me. I was never a big fan of the 30's and 40's horror... classic Dracula, Frankenstein, and such. The 50's didn't impact me one way or another. The 90's just sucked for the most part.

I love the late seventies up to the late eighties. It all goes a bit wrong when CGI became a factor. Horror movies just seemed more realistic and a lot just seem totally Hollywood as well. Oh and of course I grew up in the eighties and watched a lot of seventies stuff on TV like The Fury and The Entity and dodgy video stuff like Troll and Ghoulies. Nice.

Yeh CGI has ruined alot of movies in my opinion I prefer hands on special effects they just look better. I'm not totally against CGI its just overused in movies today making them look fake as hell.

[sleepaway]

CGI can indeed look amazing sometimes but I think a lot of lower budget film makers use it and it looks awful. I think the worst was in Deep Blue Sea, simply awful. I love in camera effects it's so much more interesting and realistic. CGI always looks shiny and doesn't move well. It is getting better though.

[Splatter Phreak]

Screw cgi give me animatronics and prosthetcis any day. i loved the 70's horror but the 80's splatter and nastiness riegns supreme

[allmykids]

I voted for the 80's too!!! but I pretty much like it all, Black and white or blood red. I'll take it anyway i can get it!!!
