Other than the two you mentioned, the 70's had such classics as Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, The Shining, Dawn of the Dead , Alien, Halloween, and even Jaws (I know some don't consider this exactly a horror film).
For the 80's, I can't think of too many films that were great. Aliens is easily the best film in this decade. The original Nightmare on Elm Street was OK. The Evil Dead movies were good.
90s horror? Skip 'em.
This century? There aren't that many of them. I like The Descent. 28 Day Later and 28 Weeks Later are pretty dang good as well.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I'll agree with you that Puppet Master isn't great, but I did think Friday the 13th was great. I also feel that Nightmare on Elm Street was one of the best horror movies ever made (aside from The Omen and The Exorcist, of course). I'll admit, the 70's are far superior to the 80's in horror. But, I believe that the 80's had a lot of fun slasher and creature movies, as well as some classics sprinkled in there. Again though, these are just personal opinions.
