best year for horror 78 or 79?
 

78
Halloween
Dawn Of The Dead
(help me out on this one, im missing a ton)

79
Zombie
Zombie Holocaust
Ammityville Horror
Alien
Phantasm
(probably missing a bunch here too)

1979 was when Alien came out.

1979

'78, Halloween is my favorite movie.

'79
-Alien
-Phantasm
-Salem's Lot
-When a Stranger Calls
-The Brood


Invasion of the Body Snatchers is all I got for '78.

Not horror, but Star Wars was made in '78.

'77

Not according to wikpedia. lol

You're right though, it was made the year my parents were married. '77

It's really close, but Halloween and Dawn of the Dead tag team to beat Amityville Horror, The Brood, and Alien. But only by a hair.

1985 :p

Re-Aminator and Return Of The Living Dead!

But I'll go with 79 because of Mad Max.

Sorry, gotta pull a dick move and say 1976

Carrie
The Omen
Marathon Man
Logan's Run
Taxi Driver
The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane
Burnt Offerings
Assault on Precinct 13
Helter Skelter
God Told Me To
The Tennant


and toss in The Song Remains The Same for good measure

I'll go with 79 cause it was the year I was birthed out!

All good, but we seem to be straying away from horror movies to flesh out our lists.

1979: Zombie Flesh Eaters.

1979
just cause i love alien

Hot damn, what a year.

It's amazing, to me, that the two funniest comedies of all time (IMO, of course) were directed in the same year by the same man:

Mel Brooks.
