When I want to see them , I put on the original. I probably watch HALLOWEEN (JC's not RZ's) at least once a month.
But Freddy, Jason, Micheal, etc. are far from the foundations of horror. They aren't even the founding fathers of
horror film - that's for Nosferatu, Frankenstein's, Der Golem etc.
Horror goes back to the cave dwellers. Fear is the most primal emotion. Horror tales are as old as written language.
The Ballad of Gilgamesh, Beowulf, The Odyssey - all packed with monsters and murderers.
Horror goes back a little further than 1980. I understand liking these guys, but man has more things to fear than these four or five boogeymen and I'd like to hear some new stories.
