What do you think was the best decade for Horror?

You honestly think I'm that stupid? 😐

No, but I was scared for a minute.

i like all the horror movies of the 70s - they are still spooky and hilarious

it has to be the 70's all the way.

and whats with everyone choosing 2 or 3 decades, it kind of misses the point.

I chose one decade. A decade is 10 years, and my ten years fell between 1975 and 1985. 😖mart:

Let's not split hairs.

1980s for me where the **** is the poll at ? haha

Its not splitting hairs, the movie was made in the 70's ( and took about 2 years to make, so production started in 78)and due to bureaucracy was not released until 1980, i think a film should be defined by the time period it was made and not when it was released, the release date has no bearing on the creation of the film but serves only to satisfy the fat cats whose pockets will be lined by the talents of others, looking to release a film at the optimum time to guarantee maximum profit

late seventies early 80's is fine, but some people have just chosen 70's,80's and 90's, hahahaha

What was the best decade for Horror?

id sa 80's and now because:

80: 976, chucky , the freddy's , most of the jasons, demons , goulies ect

now: the ring , the grudge

dragoon are you having a laugh, CHucky?

I say the '80s.

A Nightmare on Elm Streets
Friday the 13ths
Hellraisers
Evil Dead 2 (#1 was in '79, no?)
American Werewolf in London
The Howling

Definetly the 70's

You just asked the same question..? What's the best decade for Horror?

i definitley have to say the 70`s they had some really no holds barred sleazy gritty flicks come out then and there were pretty much no rules
last house on the left
i drink your blood
i spit on your grave
the hills have eyes
texas chainsaw massacre
how can you beat films like these

80' one word.............Slasher's

yeah i have to agree the 80`s was a great decade for ultra violent slasher movies

Glad you didn't say ultra-VIOLENCE. Ultra-violence is a Kubrick term for rape, and dorks tend to sling it around without knowing the meaning. 😉

savontys i say

The 70's and 80's were both great...to hard 2 pick a fave.
