Wow you guys have alot there but you missed a couple that have had a pretty decent impact on the horror industry and us:

60's and 70's-Psycho,Night of the Living Dead,The Birds,Carrie,The Exorcist.

80's-The Thing!!!!!!!!!,Night of the Creeps,Childs Play,They Live,Creepshow 2,The Shining.

90's til now-Silence of the Lambs,Wes Cravens New Nightmare,The Relic(This did'nt effect the horror industry but it got me),The Cell,Jeepers Creepers,Donnie Darko,Blair Witch Project.

[reelmaster]

Have seen all them and only Birds and the Relic are any good
Old version of NOTD was so slow and weak.

And the birds ain't horror is suspense/thriller

[Toxferatu]

night of the living dead(just cant think of any more i KNOW are in the 60's, gotta check dates on some)

70's
omen
exorcist

90's
amercan psycho(not really early 90's but spectacular)
wishmaster

candyman


i know you didnt ask for the 00's but i just watched Dog Soldiers and it was fucking awsome.

[Devil55]

Birds isn't a horror?,Birds that attack and kill people is a horror movie to me.Anyone that says that about NOTLD 68 is probably under 18 since they have no clue about films before the 80's,I used to think like that but now I give horror movies from any era a chance.

[countchocula]

Devil, don't make hasty generalizations. Not all teenage genre fans are stuck on modern slashers.

[reelmaster]

In most video stores it is in the suspense/thriller section so that is what i go by. But yes there are some great horror's from the 30's up. Old dark house comes to mind (1932)

-CARRIE
-THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

80'S
-ALIENS
-THE LOST BOYS
-HALLOWEEN 4

SHIVER ME TIMBERS

[Tony Montana 83]

Wes Craven's Shocker was another good one.

[Devil55]

I don't know video stores your going to but everyone that I've gone to has The Birds in the horror section because thats where it belongs.NOTLD 68 is my favourite horror movie of all time and anyone that talks shit about it I will respond to,I figured I responded pretty calmly to it,A few years ago I probably would'nt have been to calm about it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NOTLD 68 is slow and weak!?,Tell that to the people that had to read this sign because someone died of a heart attack from this movie,No bullshittin either.

[reelmaster]

Have The Birds in the suspense/thriller section.
It's a well made suspenseful film but is certainly not scary.
Maybe in 1968 NOTD was scary but i have been watching unrated and R Rated horror movies since i was 2 years old and they don't bother me one bit.
I saw the full version of Jaws on TV when i was 3.
Dawn of the dead is the ultimate living dead film
If the whole world was full of hungry dead dudes i'd escape to a deserted shopping centre for sure.

[Devil55]

I agree with you about Dawn,thats one of my top ten favs of all time but I do not agree with you at all about The Birds,If a movie came out as a horror then it stays a horror,Nobody said a horror flick has to be scary.Actually,For that time it might have been a bit of shocker but it is tame compared to today's movies,Dawn can compare to any horror movie of today.
