    Your favorite horror movies by decade

    So here's how it works.. you have to pick one movie for each era below as your favorite from that time.

    The era's are:

    1970's -
    1980's -
    1990's -
    Modern (2000+) -

    Simple

    I'll start.

    1970's - Lucio Fulci's Zombie Flesh Eaters aka Zombi
    1980's - The Shining
    1990's - Wishmaster
    Modern (2000+) -The Devils Rejects

    I Might come back and edit that later, i found the 80's and the 90's particularly difficult to choose for.

    70's The Exorcist
    80's Day of the Dead
    90's Ring (original)
    00's 28 Days Later

    Trying to pick just one from the '70s was tough.

    If all you can appreciate is from the 1970's and forward, you only have an undeniably nominal understanding of horror...

    1910's - Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
    1920's - Nosferatu (followed by Faust, Der Golem, Phantom of the Opera)
    1930's - The Black Cat (followed by White Zombie, Vampyr, Bride of Frankenstein)
    1940's - The Wolf Man
    1950's - Night of the Demon (Curse of the Demon in the U.S.)
    1960's - Night of the Living Dead
    1970's - The Exorcist (followed by Alien, Dawn of the Dead, Salem's Lot, Halloween, and Martin)
    1980's - The Thing (followed by Pet Sematary, The Funhouse, Scanners, From Beyond, Pumpkinhead, Halloween III)
    1990's - The Ninth Gate (followed by Blade, From Dusk Til Dawn, Blair Witch Project, and Ringu)
    2000's - Shadow of the Vampire (followed by Let the Right One In, The Ring, Dead Silence, The Mist, 28 Days Later, The Grudge, Planet Terror, Devil's Rejects)
    2010's - V/H/S (so far)

    Favorite Blend of Horror and Comedy (or Comedy's about Horror) Honorable Mentions: Ed Wood, Shaun of the Dead, Dead Alive (Brain Dead), Evil Dead II, Fright Night (80's), Zombieland

    Nope just following the capo's orders. Although the 1910's and 20's is rewinding too far back for me to make any comparisons. I think I've only seen Nosferatu prior to 1930.

    30's Bride of Frankenstien
    40's Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde (with Spencer Tracey)
    50's It Came From Outer Space
    60's Repulsion

    I suspected that was the case.

    BTW loved the Ninth Gate too. Definitely my second choice for the 90's.
