I'm only 24 myself, and I prefer horror flicks from the 70s and 80s. I think there's just an undeniable element to those movies that is invisible, but in your face at the same time... it just makes them something special and not some stupid "scary movie".
I'd have to say 80% of the horror films made after the early 90s is pure shit garbage. But that's just my opinion.

I prefer movies made from the early 70s to the mid 80s as well. Most movies nowdays are just recycled junk with a handful of notable exceptions.

It seems that EVERYTHING that comes out is a remake, new twist on an old idea, or a crappy sequel.

It seems that EVERYTHING that comes out is a remake, new twist on an old idea, or a crappy sequel. Like I said...if you can find it, find the old Fango article "The Golden Age of Horror (1978-1983)". It argues that everything since then is just what you said.

Just finished watching this gem & it just gets better with each viewing. This is a perfect example of a movie that's effective with very little gore. It's almost bloodless. While I like gore effects, I also dig movies that can be effective without having to use or showcase loads of gore. It worked for this & the original Halloween.
And damn, the score for this is amazing.
