Re: Top 5 horror movies for each decade...
I love horror films, but I still haven't seen very many pre-60's horror films. These lists aren't ranked; they are just the five I'd choose from each decade right now. I am leaving a lot of good stuff off, and it kind of hurts.
20s - The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari - The Phantom Carriage - The Man Who Laughs - Nosferatu 30s - Frankenstein - The Old Dark House - The Invisible Man - King Kong - Dracula 40s - The Wolf Man - Cat People 50s - Curse of the Demon - The Blob - Godzilla 60s - Psycho - Night of the Living Dead - Carnival of Souls - Peeping Tom - The Innocents 70s - Nosferatu the Vampyre - The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - Halloween - Suspiria - The Exorcist 80s - The Beyond - The Thing - Angst - Possession - The Shining 90s - Scream - Dead Alive - The Blair Witch Project - Ghostwatch - Funny Games 00s - Amer - Antichrist - [Rec] - House of 1000 Corpses - Wolf Creek 10s - Tucker and Dale vs Evil - Excision - The Babadook - Under the Skin - The Sacrament |

30s:
The Old Dark House Frankenstein Bride of Frankenstein Freaks Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde 40s: The Leopard Man Cat People Dead of Night I Walked With a Zombie The Seventh Victim 50s: Night of the Demon The Curse of Frankenstein Dracula House on Haunted Hill The Bad Seed 60s: Black Sunday The Whip and the Body The Long Hair of Death Black Sabbath Kill, Baby, Kill 70s: Halloween Lisa and the Devil The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Suspiria Alien 80s: Creepshow Tenebrae A Nightmare on Elm Street A Nightmare on Elm Street Part III: Dream Warriors The Shining 90s: Wes Craven's New Nightmare Scream Body Snatchers Wishmaster Mimic 00s: A Tale of Two Sisters Trick 'r Treat Pulse The Devil's Backbone Drag Me to Hell 10s: You're Next Krampus The Babadook Oculus Absentia |
Forgot the 20s.
1. Nosferatu (most enduring take on the vampire) 2. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (German expressionism at its purest) 3. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (love berserker Barrymore) 4. Faust (beautiful and timeless) 5. The Hands of Orlac (a fascinating take on existentialism) |

Re: Top 5 horror movies for each decade...
I know everyone defines horror differently but Rear Window is not a horror. C'mon now?
Edit: Rope too? Christ. |
Going off the Horror List i posted here and adding others for the decades that weren't completed.
60s: 01.Psycho 02.Rosemary's Baby 03.The Innocents 04.Night of the Living Dead 05.Black Sunday 70s: 01.The Exorcist 02.Eraserhead 03.Nosferatu The Vampyre 04.Halloween 05.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 80s: 01.The Shining 02.The Fly 03.The Thing 04.Poltergeist 05.Maniac 90s: 01.Bram Stoker's Dracula 02.Scream 03.Interview With The Vampire 04.The Exorcist III 05.Army of Darkness 00s: 01.Let The Right One In 02.The Descent 03.Trick r' Treat 04.The House of the Devil 05.Ginger Snaps 10s: 01.The Witch 02.It Follows 03.The Babadook 04.The Eyes of My Mother 05.Maniac Pretty generic. Haven't really explored horror that much. The 10's in particular was hard coz i haven't seen much at all, i much prefer the Maniac original to the remake but both ended up fifth in their decades. Also struggled with the 90's for some reason. Guess i just have to see more horror. |
Re: Top 5 horror movies for each decade...
It surprises me that Babadook gets so much love yet Under The Shadow another horror movie about a mother and child being haunted by a supernatural force is totally ignored. Yet I personally found Under The Shadow to be a vastly superior film in every single way.

Edit: Rope too? Christ. Thriller is a sub-genre of horror, Hitchcock, Powell, and Wyler redefined horror in the early 60's with The Collector, Psycho, and Peeping Tom. If you are going into the earlier decades you need to acknowledge differing standards. |

I don't care about this but Rear Window is not a horror. |

look at the IMDB thriller list http://www.imdb.com/search/title?gen...dv_explore_rhs 80-90% of those films are also classified as "horror" |
Re: Top 5 horror movies for each decade...
So you retract your claim that Thriller is a sub-genre of horror? Cool.

Or you can be curt. |

No I asked you to name me one film that's a Thriller and just a Thriller. Because if a genre can't stand on it's own then it's not really a genre it's a sub-genre.
Or you can be curt. I asked you for something that cites thriller as a sub-genre of horror as you made that claim and you ignored it which is why i didn't answer your question. Rear Window is not a horror film but keep it listed i don't care, this discussion really shouldn't have lasted this long. |
