Which Generation of horror?
Which Era of horror did you enjoy the most. Be honest here and think carefully about films from that decade you liked.

1970's TCM

i would both 70's and 80s
both had some great movies 70S Omen The Exorcist TCM Black Christmas Wicker Man, The Deep Red JAWS Suspiria Halloween Alien AND 80'S had Friday the 13th Shining, The American Werewolf in London, An Evil Dead, The Howling, The Thing, The Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter Nightmare on Elm Street, A Hellraiser Child's Play (i know i missed out on lot, i think these are main ones) so i am going to pick the 80s |
I really like the horror as a whole that have come out since the new millenium (so I voted for that).
Though the 70's had the most influential and explicit films, and paved the way for a lot of the stuff we see today. Texas Chainsaw, I Spit on Your Grave, Last House on the Left, the list goes on. Though some of the film techniques were a little lame during that period. I hated when they did that really fast zoom and tried to recenter the frame as they did it. |
The 1930s or 1940s. I'm not at liberty to decide which quite yet.

I'm going to side with Alky on this one.

The 80s for me,its just when i got into horror movies rather than anything deeper,got our first vhs in the early 80s,great big top loading machine with chunky push down buttons and an oak veneer, we used to have to press the record and play buttons at the same time to tape anything .....those were the days:o

This is a fun and informative poll.

Personally, I cant decide... 20's had some awesome silents (Phantom of the Opera, Nosferatu, ect.) 30's and 40's were the Golden age of horror...this is where almost all of the classic horror stars got their start. Tons of incredible movies from this era, and not just from Universal. 50's...Im not a huge fan of the 50's for horror, but there are a few gems. 60's...Vincent Price and Roger Corman at the top of their game, Romero re-inventing zombies, plus a bunch of other cool stuff. 70's were hugely influential...the birth of slashers being one of the stand out features, though there was plenty other awesomes moves in the genre. 80's were fun...lots of slashers, lots of gore and the occaisonal serious flick slipped in there. 90's were decent...a couple classics, but not a whole lot to get excited about. 2000 +...the jury is still out. Most of the mainstream releases have been crap, but that trend seems to be picking up somewhat plus theres been alot of lesser known gems. I could find a handful of my favourite movies in any decade...cant decide. |
late seventies and 80s
