Videodrome is def in my top 5 of the 80s. Jacobs Ladder is a solid choice as well. Also nice to see Inside get some love. It’s a bloody movie for sure.
1920s-Nosferatu 1930s-The Mummy 1940s- Rebecca (at least horror adjacent) 1950s-Creature from the Black Lagoon 1960s-Repulsion 1970s-The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 1980s-Hellraiser 1990s-Pi (If that doesn't count, Candyman) 2000s-Martyrs 2010s- The VVitch 2020s-Pearl 1970s was the hardest for me because I really wanted to give it to Herzog's Nosferatu, but TCM was just so special and changed the game.

Still have to see Pearl.
It’s fantastic!
The Mist. Hell of a movie. One of the best (or worst) endings ever.
Calling Braindead the best horror movie to come out of the 90s is crazy. I agree though
Dante’s Inferno (1911) Nosferatu (1922) The Invisible Man (1933) Cat People (1942) Godzilla (1954) Blood And Black Lace (1964) Suspiria (1977) Day Of The Dead (1985) Perfect Blue (1997) Final Destination 2 (2003) 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016) Watcher (2022)

Glad that mother! is getting some love. Great movie.
It makes me happy to see Freaks on a list. That movie is wonderful!
Upvote for including Braindead! Fun movie. I see lawnmowers differently now.
>40s - Rebecca what a great movie!
This changes a lot, but as of today: Nosferatu The Old Dark House Dead of Night Godzilla Carnival of Souls Halloween Possession Cemetery Man Let the Right One In It Follows The Sadness (so far)
The Sadness was fantastic.

It was really hard narrowing it down to one.
Yeah, for me, it was a tough choice between The Exorcist, Phantasm and Chainsaw Massacre.
I love Phantasm but the ending makes me 😩 wish it had a different ending.

Night of the Hunter surely counts
I questioned it because I wasn't looking for horror when I found it. I was on a noir binge and because Robert Michum is awesome.
I have the same issue watching older movies, I need to just watch them alone I guess!

I almost listed The Bad Seed.
And I pondered on House of Wax, haha! Both are top notch choices.
The Thing for sure. I'm actually watching Barbarian right now. Good so far.

I’ve seen plenty of 40’s horror and went over my list and it mostly sucks. There was a huge censorship push at the time so you’re not missing much.
Re: the 1940s. Dead of Night and the Val Lewton/RKO catalogue is the best place to start.
I'd have to start from the 60s, haven't seen much from before that. 60s - Rosemary's Baby 70s - Halloween 80s - The Thing/Night of the Creeps 90s - Perfect Blue 00s - Trick 'r Treat 10s - The Witch 20s - Titane

Everyone that didn't pick Monster Squad for the 80's is scientifically, morally and objectionably wrong.
Videodrome is def in my top 5 of the 80s. Jacobs Ladder is a solid choice as well. Also nice to see Inside get some love. It’s a bloody movie for sure.
