your opinions in representatives?

[Spider-Man]

There must be a movie that represents a decade, right? Here's my opinion (moderators, I didn't post this in "best/Worst and all lists" because I thought it would fit here better)

-50's: William Castle's House On Haunted Hill
-60's: Psycho
-70's: Halloween
-80's: Friday the 13th or ANOES
-90's: Scream
-00's: Who knows? (Probably American Psycho)

What's your list?

60's-psycho
70's-Halloween/exorcist/TCM
80's-NOES/F13th
90's-Scream/Blair witch project
00's-I say Ginger snaps is damn kick ass so far and house of 1000 corpse's looks promising

'60s-Night of the Living Dead
'70s-The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
'80s-The Evil Dead

'50s: HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL
'60s: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD
'70s: THE EXORCIST
'80s: FRIDAY THE 13TH
'90s: SCREAM
'00s: THE OTHERS

60s: Night of the Living Dead
70s: Dawn of the Dead
80s: Evil Dead
90s: Blair Witch
00s: The Convent

Night and Dawn of the Dead were made to represent the decades they were made in so that is why i picked them. Night was about the RED scare of the 50s and 60s. Plus the fear of the unknown and a possible nuclear holocaust. Dawn was about the extreme rise in materialism that coincided with inflation of the 70s. People began spending more money as a whole and became mindless zombies to wealth and their jobs. Evil Dead was the beginning of FUN TIMES in the 80s. Gore became huge in the late 70s and by the 80s it was what defined Horror. The blair witch was a movie that defined the 90s. "indie" movies started to become chic and camcordes allowed even more peopl to become involved ni movie making. The Blair witch also came in the late 90s when horror started to make a come back. The Convent showed that horror is coming back to the excesses of the 70s and 80s <MORE FUN TIMES!>. Now that it has become commerically viable again a hell of a lot of gory goodies are going to come out until the masses get sick <or really sick> of it again.
