Early 70's to early 80's. Grew up in the video nasty era. watching E.T at the cinema with my family one day the next bunking off school & watching Cannibal holocaust with my mates, my tastes in cinema changed overnight. happy days! until those Nazis at the BBFC got involved.

i agree 100%

I think it's pretty much unanimous, but Ill trow in another mention for 70's-mid 80's. Pretty much all of my favourite films, horror or otherwise, were made in that time period.

I'll saw mid-70s to mid-80s as well but if I had to pick between 70s and 80s I'd have to say 80s.

seconded. or is it thirded?

I say the 1950's

80's and early 90s (for cheese a'la carnosaur)

70's
