Because you are a 90's kid.

Now get out of here dad.

>mid-late 90's
fuck no, that's when they started with the shitty cheap CGI

80s is the undisputed GOAT era for horror

Correct answer.

It's clearly late 70's/early 80's.

Halloween. Alien. Terminator. The Thing. Friday The 13th. A Nightmare on Elm Street. An American Werewolf In London. Poltergeist. The Shining. The rough decade has EVERY sub-genre covered with movies that people still try to replicate.

As nostalgic I am about The Faculty, it's nowhere near as good as any of them. Scream was good too at the time, but it wouldn't have been ANYTHING if it didn't have the established slasher base to work on. And there's a reason fucking NOBODY bothers to bring up I Know What You Did Last Summer.

>Le 80's
>Good for anything

Hi there reddit

I rewatched that movie recently. Never noticed they do a test scene like The Thing, was fun to see that version even if it was pretty whatevers.

Which movie is that?

I thought horror had kind of slowed down in the mid 90s. in the late 90s it was a bunch of bad teen horror movies with Freddie Prinze Jr type people and jumpscares, and early 00s was a nu-metal style with twitchy editing and masked guys tilting their heads at the camera.

the best time for horror was by far the 70s.

The Faculty

Rec me some horror kino. The best ones i've seen are Possession, Repulsion an Suspiria

Dont know where start but im pretty sure it end in the 88.

not even debatable

I lived in the 80s. It really wasn't that good.

I was born in 88, behind the Iron Curtain. It was fucking awful.

The 80s were the best

Jon Stewart cannot act to save his life

Neither can Maher

Oh that sounds terrible. Having to live behind the Iron Curtain until you were three. What horrid memories you must have from the Cold War.

The 90's weren't a walk in the park either mother fucker, you know what happens when dictatorial regimes collapse right?

Only generation that even comes close is the 70s.

Just tell people that you were born a slav, bro. It makes you sound less silly than when you try to piggyback on the people who had to actually grow up behind the Iron Curtain, breaking the law to watch smuggled-in movies.

Not a Slav actually. You do know there's lots of people who aren't Slavs in the East right?
>Hungarians
>Romanians
>Albanians
>Moldovans
>Latvians
>Estonians
>Lithuanians

I'm one of these. Well, 2 actually. It's been shit in both countries tho.

>no Argento

What are you doing user?

>there's lots of people who aren't Slavs in the East right?
>proceeds to list a bunch of slavs and baltslavs

Stop the self-hate. Embrace your heritage.

Yup.

>Hills Have Eyes
>80's

What are YOU doing?

So... American I take it? Strayan? Who else is so proud of his own ignorance?
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind being a Slav, I just ain't.

Close enough category. I'm adding Suspiria to it.

Well you can list EVERY movie, but I'm going to bed.

Shush, babushka. Put on your track suit and get into a comfy squat and calm down.

Says the nigger/nigger victim

Sauce? Cannot remember this, though I've seen a lot of horror movies.

It's just before CGI, if you dissagree you need to leave Sup Forums forever
