Subject: Horror movies

I just saw the movie Freddy vs Jason, and I heard someone ask about the old movie From Beyond.
The question crossing my mind right now is simple: did the best horror movies come out in the 80s? Jacob's Ladder, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, The Thing. Besides Scream I and Scream II, can anyone remember a really good horror film from the 90s?
Freddy vs Jason proves that 80s horror was the best.

I like the 90s horror movies the best because you are trying to figure out who the killer is while people are dying.With Jason and Freddy there is no mystery like that.You could add I Know What You Did Last Summer as a decent horror movie.Scream 2 really sucked.

i thought 70s horror was far more better. they didn't rely too much on special effects but on cool cinemetography and direction.
i'm talking about movies like the exorcist, the omen, haunting of hill house, carrie, halloween, texas chainsaw massacre.
not so much those bad canadian movies that were put out, but they did spawn a genre that led to 80s horror, splatterfest.

The 70s/80s slasher films were better. In the PC 90s directors were too busy trying to establish motivation for the killers. 'Scream' was okay until the contrived ending with the killers explaining why they were doing it. It was like the villain from a James Bond movie gloating about their evil scheme. I prefer it when the killer is someone like Michael from 'Halloween'. He had no motivation. He was just bad.
