Your favorite horror movies by decade

[Andy]

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.

[Morto Vivente]

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.

It is a deceivingly tough question!

Nope just following the capo's orders. :lol: 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

Yeah, well that is who I was speaking to really, so no offense intended... to you. :sneaky:

[Morto Vivente]

so no offense intended... to you. :sneaky:

:lol: I suspected that was the case.

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

Consider the question simplified for the masses :p

You can of course add as many decades as you want, i never said you couldnt!
