As usual zwoti stole some of my thunder.
I also was going to mention the classics, i.e. Frankenstein, Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein. A little nugget I also picked up , the first silent horror movie was a 1896 two minute vampire movie from director Georges Melies called "Le Manoir du Diable".
From the 40s we have The Cat People, The Wolfman.
50s brought us horror/sci-fi The Thing from Another Planet as well as Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
The Haunting in the 60s, Rosemarys Baby.
The 70s gave us Jaws and the start of the slashers, Halloween, Friday the 13th , Nightmare on Elm Street.
