What do you think was the best decade for Horror? and Why?

30's,40's50's, 60's, 70's,80's,90's or 00's?

Hmm, I'm going with the 80's I mean we got

Day of the Dead
Hellraiser
Friday the 13th
A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Evil Dead 1,2
The Thing
American Werewolf in London
Killer Klowns From Outer Space
Fright Night
Aliens
And Countless others

In the 70's we got some great ones too, like Dawn of the Dead, TCM, Alien, but I think the 80's were the golden years of horror.

I agree agree definetly the 70's or the 80's, in fact im going with the 70's
because of

Halloween,
TCM,
ALien,
Friday the 13th(made in the 70's released in the 80's),
dawn of the dead
JAWS
THE EXORCIST
DRILLER KILLER
this was the decade when horror seriously took off as a genre. The 80's in comparison were far more commercial and exploitative, more interested in money than in imagination and innovation, it was bandwagon-jumping and cash ins, rushed films with no plot or imagination oall the classic are from the 70's when horror cinema was raw and experimental, pushing boundaries and limits, creating plausible storylines and giving credbility to a usually mocked and parodied genre

70s and 80s

Yep, late 70's, early 80's.

70's

The Shining 1980.

ahh...i need to study more 📖 lol

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.

again THE SHINING made in the 70's released in 1980

so i was kinda right 💃

I'll go with the 70's, just for the huge number of influencial films that came out that decade that really changed the way horror films were percieved.
