Slashers, and purely for nostalgic reasons.

Romero's Dead trilogy. For me these three films win every time.

Atmospheric Horror for me I love movies from each period. but I tend to be more drawn to the one's from the 60's and 70's

Classics, because they were there first, and laid the foundation for all the newer stuff...I grew up with those films, and with Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, so those old monsters are like the main staples, the Campbell's vegetable soup characters of horror. Always tasty, always welcomed.

Damn is this a hard choice. Vintage feels right because as a kid its not to scary but it has that atmosphere. As a teen till now the slashers got me and right now its all about the shitty B/indie movies. But i think i'm gonna go with Atmospheric since they're highly entertaining and have more to say than the others.

I'd say more of the slashers but it's true as a kid I dressed up as Dracula and my mom making the costume "authentic" with amulets and and vests and hairline etc. It's a tough one cause on Halloween I watched stuff like pumpkin head, leprechaun, Friday the 13th and etc with my kids. I would have to say the 80's gave Halloween the horror look based on the previous generations.
