What is the most influential "Horror" movie...
What is the most influential "Horror" movie of each decade, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and 2000 to date? And feel free to let us know why. This can be from a personal or social stand point.
Here are mine..All from a Social stand point. I think all these movies either defined a decade of movies or had a major impact on society. 60's Night of the Living Dead 70's The Exorcist 80's A Nightmare on Elm Street 90's I hate to do this but.. Scream 00's Shaun of the Dead

60s- Psycho
70s- Texas Chainsaw Massacre/Halloween* 90s- Sixth Sense *The 80s were dominated by slashers, Halloween set the bar so imo although it wasn't released in the 80's it had the most influence on them.

60's - NOTLD
70's Tie: - Last house on the left - This movie really inspired the slasher movies and above the mark violence that was seen in TCM, Friday the 13th and Holloween. The Exorcist - This movie shocked the world with things Never seen on film before. It is one of the three movies in film history that had an impact on peoples lives - socially/economically and spiritually (along with Jaws and Passion of the Christ). 80's - Holloween - although slasher films were being made prior to Holloween, this one pleased the mainstream movie going public and gave a driving force to multitudes of slasher films and re introduced "The sequals" 90's - not alot to choose from here. I would have3 to say Se7en. 00's - Like it or love it the remake of DOTD re introduced a "new super zombie" this time they ran and attacked viciously.

20s Metropolis
30s Dracula 50s Invasion of the Body Snatchers- I think the best sci-fi/horror fusion that was happening at the time. It captured the climate of the time brilliantly and stood up to communism and Mc Carthyism alike. That takes vision and balls. 60s Rosemary's Baby-Reminded the moviegoing public that horror could be literate, artistic and thought provoking. I don't like Polanski much, but I give him that. 70s Exorcist 80s Poltergeist- High budget, legitimately scary horror epic. that returned the ghost story to the popular imagination. Showed how good special effects should be serving a film. 90s Natural Born Killers- Yes, I consider this a horror film. Splatpunk morality is examined and called into question and the inmates are shown running the asylum. I don't think such a solid treatise on violence could be called anything but horror. 00s Like it or not, I'd say House of a Thousand Corpses. It's a movie that examined horror movies, how horror is such a part of the American cultural landscape and dared horror movies to return to more stark, raw roots. I don't wanna sound pretentious, but I consider the 8 1/2 of horror movies. It's a much better examination of the genre and American violence than other metacinematic horror movies like Scream. There've been a bunch of pale imitations since.

I found that a pretty tough call. I almost said Vampyr, but I can't remember when that was. That's one of the only films from so long ago that gave me a real solid chill. To anyone who hasn't seen it, imagine an entire film that feels like the video from the Ring. Nosferatu paved the way for a lot of horror movies in the future, but when it comes to influencing filmmaking Fritz Lang did a lot more than Murnau.

That maybe true but we're talking about individual films not the filmmakers.
I think Vampyr is '14
