| Jpcc86 said: To me this is an easy question to be honest, its the 70s. Its got what I consider the single 2 best horror films in history in Jaws and Alien, which not only are fantastic as horror films - but also fantastic as films, overall, in general - I'd argue they are amongst the best films of the decade. Add to that its got some cult classic that I absolutely love, like Wicker Man, Phantasm, Eraserhead and Suspiria and absolute classics that have trascended the medium like The Exorcist, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massace, Carrie, Dawn of the Dead, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and many more. Not to say there arent that many standouts in every decade, the 80's got Aliens and The Thing, which are amongst my favorites of all time as well, and this current decade has been particularly good to the genre, but the 70's hit my sweet spot. |
I agree with you 100%. The 70s is the best for horror films. Plus, it gave us Deliverance, not a horror film exactly - but mighty scary indeed.
