The 70s and 80s had the classics, 90s started the self-awareness in horror, 00s had a lot of cheesy (but fun) horror films, and the 2010s started what they call "elevated horror" or the more artistic horror. They are all great decades of horror just depends on what you like!

[@PossessedbyHorror]

yes exactly!

[@MsBluheart]

Extremely well put!

[@ACDCRocks780]

The true classics were the 30s. Everything beyond the 30s was directly inspired by the likes of Dracula and King kong and Frankenstein.

[@filmfangirls9163]

Well said!

[@cassiehoward9116]

very well said wow..

[@thebarky1988]

Hi Sarah, I am probably one of your older followers. I was born in the 60’s. I love your channel and think we share similar opinions on horror. My first horror movie was Carnival of the Souls and the second was Psycho…. I always loved horror. As a young person we see things so differently and I personally love 70’s and 80’s but now I watch them and smile…. It brings back my childhood. I think that’s what it’s about .

[@celestemudrich5798]

Carnival of Souls is one of my favorites. So mind bendy! Found it randomly in a collection of classics and love it. Also love Hitchcock but prefer his tv shows to his movies. 👀💜

[@Shellinagogo]

Yeah I think she was right when she said it's that nostalgia that gets us ❤️

[@aligiacose]

Carnival of souls is such an excellent horror movie. A true classic & whenever I see someone mention it then I know they know real horror & trust their judgement 👍🏼

[@dawudj2286]

I’m in my 30s and I love “Carnival of Souls” , “The Birds “and “Psycho”

[@thebarky1988]

It’s so wonderful to hear from others who loved Carnival of the Souls. It still has an eerie horror quality to it…. It brings me back to my childhood.

[@screamcollective8661]

Toooootally agree with the point that we all gravitate towards the decade that we grew up watching in or were introduced to the genre. That late 00s jam is my personal fave one.

[@SR-no8sr]

Exactly. I love these types of conversations because it is great for introductions to films. I grew up with straight to videos 80's greatness but 90's/earlyv2000's foreign horror was amazing then you have a lot of gems from there's andv70's. I also love silent German horror films.

[@filmfangirls9163]

That or the decade we wish we grew up in. I love the 80s but grew up in the 90s (okay horror) and the 2000s (meh horror for me.) But I'm nostalgic for the things I wish I had and I did love the 90s!

[@69mosshead]

Totally true although I grew up in 80's my introduction was Hammer Horror, films like The Devil Rides Out and they're still ones I go back to.

[@thrawncaedusl717]

Kind of. I grew up in the 2000s and tried a couple of horror movies and just bounced off of them (to this day supernatural horror with weirdly arbitrary forces is my least favorite). Then Get Out renewed my interest in the genre, and now 2010s are my favorite decade (followed by 70s, then 80s). I think it’s simply that we get into the kind of horror that appeals to us, and generally people start with new releases. So it’s not just that you happened to start watching horror in the 2000s; horror in the 2000s appealed to you so you started then.

[@JesusGomez-ob2qt]

@@thrawncaedusl717 well it is horror it isn't supposed to look visually pleasing lol. #justicefor70s

[@c.y.b.e]

I think the 2010's have brought indie horror into the mainstream world which has been really fun to explore instead of constant cash grabs which is nice

[@heatheraggus7501]

I feel like there's so many more movies made now and in the 2010s that there's a ton more of both crap and a ton more of amazing horror flicks than ever before.

[@haley5803]

Personally, I love hearing why people like the things they do, especially if it is something I dislike. Different opinions are fascinating :)

[@filmfangirls9163]

They are! I love hearing other views and sometimes it gives me a chance to review a film and see a different perspective!

[@lh2354]

ngl i was kinda hurt that the 80s was ranked last even though i saw it coming lol. i respect your rankings, sarah! the 80s gave the most iconic posters, horror fonts, and villains everrr

[@dundee6402]

I think that's exactly why I don't like 80s horror all that much either. It's very showy, "big" cinematic and corporate feeling. It puts tons of focus on presentation and misses the mark on substance. I much prefer 60s-70s horror in comparison, it was more simple but effective and less focus on the package.

[@lh2354]

@@dundee6402 that’s a fair point. i wasn’t born in the 80s, that’s why i really don’t feel your sentiments. i just appreciate that decade for what it was. and there are a lot of substantial 80s horror films, they’re just overshadowed by the camp, over-the-top ones. btw, love 70s horror, too!

[@EF-fc4du]

​@@dundee6402Corporate? It was awash in low budget indie films.

[@andholiday]

We are so different when it comes to horror taste, I love slashers more than anything so I always gravitate towards the 80's, I'm not a fan of supernatural horror at all, but that's what's so great about horror and all the sub genres, there's something for everyone, I'm not upset at your opinion, it's your opinion and that's fine, we can all enjoy horror differently

[@austindolan7182]

supernatural horror is where people are in their house and have to investigate that noise in another part of the house every 5-10 minutes. and there's a minimum of about 10 jump scares over 85-100 minutes. oh and some contortionist covered in black blood and corpse paint walks creepily toward the camera.

[@WoahLookAtThatFreak]

@@austindolan7182 Paranormal Activity franchise in a nutshell

[@asootspriteart]

I think it's really interesting how each decade really has it's own horror identity! My favorite is actually the 60s closely followed by the 70s, I love folk horror like The Wicker Man, and slow burn psychological horror like Rosemary's Baby and Psycho. I was born in the 90s so didn't grow up with these movies, but I love that because they're so limited in their effects back then that they really played up the tension and atmosphere rather than relying on jump scares and gross out gore like later decades. The 2010s is my favorite more recent decade with movies, and I'd place the 80s last too!

[@brianshorrorcorner9890]

The 80's is easily the best decade

[@unstablebrother]

The 60s had a good amount of Horror movies. Including Night of the Living Dead and Pyscho, which are two of the most iconic ones ever

[@holybish2768]

I agree.

[@galaxypixelsapprihez2300]

Don't forget Rosemary's Baby 1968

[@davidranderson1]

I remember someone sharing an interesting observation about their reactions to practical effects vs. visual effects. I wish I could remember who it was. Basically, they said, for them: Visual effects looked real but felt fake, while practical effects looked fake but felt real.

[@AlexPerez-tv1zg]

My favourite era of horror is the 70’s with movies like black Christmas, the Texas chainsaw massacre, Halloween, Carrie, Alien, the exorcist, Suspiria, jaws etc. I might be a bit biased cuz I also love 70s fashion and interior design but the feeling of early slashers, suspense films and the start of more disturbing stuff makes me love it These early slashers like tcm Halloween and black Christmas were all really well made and genuinely scary, and while I adore the 80s, in my opinion these movies have a higher quality than the abundance of slashers like friday the 13th, other Halloween movies and nightmare on elm street in the 80s My ranking would be 1. 70s 2. 10s 3. 80s 4. 90s and 00s (I’m sorry)

[@shepardcupp8593]

Beginning my horror journey! So far I’d go (first-last): 70’s, 2010’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000’s. I personally feel like there’s a flaw in the idea of ranking decades though. There are certain trends that are prevalent in them, but there are masterpieces in every decade, and there are movies that don’t fit the trends in every decade too.

[@jasongjokaj5157]

the 80s horror films are the ones I resonate with the most, but the 00's are the most rewatchable for me. the ring is literally a timeless classic and I will die on that hill with you LOL

[@holliejacobs1833]

Sarah ur so brave for this video...and i support it !

[@karleeshorrorkorner4754]

It’s funny because I was born in 1993 and I actually completely agree with this ranking 😂 Oddly enough, The Ring is also my absolute all time favorite movie franchise and I’ve read all the books too. Sinister is also one of my absolute favorite. We all have our opinions though and that’s just fine!

[@EyesoftheForgotten]

Slashers, especially from the 70s and 80s are some of my favorites. But I realize that nostalgia is a lot like hunger: it's the spice that makes almost anything taste good.

[@hermunkulus]

Haven’t watched yet, but the 70s and 80s were peak horror in my opinion. I love how the 2010s and 2020s have been stepping up their game and bringing it to the forefront again (even though there have been some terrible releases). Horror and comedy are my favorite genres.

[@heatheraggus7501]

I agree. 80s were so fun. My favourite decade was probably the 90s.

[@magda386]

My favourite saga of all times is Nightmare. It's a slasher saga, but still a supernatural one. Something that kills you in your dreams? It must be the most horrifying and original idea of the entire horror genre

[@Hexentric8]

Some of my fave horrors are from the 2000's, that's when I fell in love with horror as a genre, I was literally like 8 years old and I would stay up late and watch horrors in the middle of the night with the volume almost off so that my parents wouldn't hear me 🤣

[@annacrites2467]

i have such opposite opinions from you on a lot of things about horror but i adore your channels and your videos!! it would be so boring if we all had the same opinions

[@MsBluheart]

I can honestly say I have absolute favorites from every decade from the 50s to the present. I'm not sure if I could narrow it down to a decade unless forced. For me it's more horror style than decade that points to what I gravitate to. I definitely agree, it's a very personal choice and we can all love what we love without hurting anyone else.

[@curseofcarlos]

The 80’s is by far my favorite decade, since I’m drawn to all the slime and gore and slasher stuff. Whenever I go to watch a movie I’m usually drawn to that decade. But it’s totally understandable that you wouldn’t like it if there’s nothing in there that appeals to your tastes! Big respect. I have to say I’ve found myself watching a lot of 2000’s stuff lately, probably thanks to your channel and I recently finally watched Triangle off your recommendation and it was GREAT!

[@Yeaster]

Now that I think about it, the 2010s may be may favorite decade of horror. Get Out is a big part of that, but my favorite genre of horror is supernatural, so I appreciate that we got so much of it in the 2010s The 70s is my second favorite. The grittiest horror films seemed to come from this decade. The 80s got very formulatic, but it gave us so many horror icons. The 2000s would be next, with the 90s last. But I like you said, I love all the horror decades, it's just the 90s didn’t impact me as much as other decades

[@veroniquehill9314]

You said it perfectly, mid 90s to mid 00s were the best for me too. Blair Witch, The Ring, Scream, Final Destination, Saw, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Grudge, just to name a few. But I would put the 80s second for me, the original Poltergeist film was the first horror movie I ever watched and the Nightmare on Elm Street and Child's Play franchises were the first classic franchises I dabbled in so they will always be so sentimental for me 😭

[@DeniseDutton]

Early-era Gen-Xer here, and I agree with you about how folks find their favorite eras. My top 3 are (in no particular order): 1930s 1980s 2000s Why? Because DC20 used to show old horror movies every weekend during Creature Feature when I was a kid. I was in school in the 80s, so that was peak horrorhound time for me. And the aughts was post-divorce, when I could go see anything I wanted without fearing a +1 would hate it. I have favorites in other decades, but those three decades are my Top Tier horror decades. So far...

[@candiceculkin6286]

ahhh im so early and so excited for you to rank 00's and 10's at the top where they belong

[@RivetingReads]

I’m loving this video thanks so much for making it :) I think every decade has amazing things to offer and I haven’t chosen my favorite decade but it is probably the 2010s or the 2000s!

[@karenmacleod5265]

You are so right Sarah. I used to watch horror double bills on BBC2 with my Mother in the 70s. To this day Vincent Price and Christopher Lee are my favourite horror actors. Love to you from Scotland. Your channel is fantastic.

My favorite era is the 80's, but your synopsis on the era is spot on. It was an era of "if something lands, let's copy the crap out of it"! I am a huge sucker for nostalgia, and love the craziness of the 80s. Keep doing what you're doing!!

[@peachiest_peach9613]

I think nostalgia plays a big part for me as well. I was born in 1987 and because of my older sister I grew up watching the late 70s,80s horror and so I love those decades of horror. But overall I appreciate all decades of horror 🙂

[@xplodingreaper9840]

[@drunktalesgames8052]

[@bcfortenberry]

Enjoyed hearing your thoughts! It’s amazing how much one’s age influences our perceptions of these sorts of things. I have great memories of renting five VHS horror movies and ordering pizza with friends as a kid during the late 80s. We’d hang out and watch them over the course of a weekend. Lots of affection for that era fueled by nostalgia. Not so much for the early aughts. I remember seeing the remake of The Fog and swearing off PG-13 horror movies for a while (there are plenty of good ones, but that era was rough, imo). But ultimately- you love what you love. Art is subjective. But there’s no need to apologize for sharing an honest opinion. Your video is making me wonder if I gave the early 2000s a fair shot and it’s good to question our assumptions from time to time.

[@desertpinevintage162]

Yes that’s what I did in the mid 80s rent scary VHS and order pizza! The best !!

[@natasshjanorielle4711]

When you break it down it makes a lot of sense as to why you chose them the way that you did. Almost made me change my mind on some of my opinions. but such a fun topic to debate cause every decade offered soo much.

[@ErikE7683]

Definitely agree with your list. I just don’t know where to put movies from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. I love universal monsters plus the sci fi movies from the 50s. Your right in the sense that it’s extremely difficult to rank. 70s are movies i enjoy, but they are just visually unappealing to me never really liked the whole grainy aspect of em., except for alien and Halloween. So I’d put 70s dead last for that reason

I smiled wider every time you said "Please be nice" 😆 I was born 9 years before you and was allowed to watch whatever I wanted from a young age. My nostalgia period is late 80's - early 90's. 80's is my favorite horror decade by far then 90's, 70's, 00's and 10's would be last

[@torigroves1048]

My personal rankings change depending on what we’re talking about, like my “favorites” ranking will be different than which decades I think have the best quality movies. But if we’re talking about which movies I enjoy, watch & rewatch the most it’s probably: 2010s, 80s, 00s, 90s, 70s* *70s is where it is mostly because I haven’t watched many 70s movies / can’t get into them

[@sexyyredsection]

I genuinely adore every era of horror… they are all so different and I appreciate that. 70s-80s will always be my favorite because it’s what I watched with my dad and got me into horror but i’m starting to really love and appreciate the 2020s for horror.

I always thought the 70s and 80s were the golden age of horror (back then the effects were amazing even if they looked kinda fake, the practical effects must make them amazing). The 90s was the silver age imo (they had moments of following the 80s effects but also making them more unique along the way). The 2000s horror age is underrated imo, I simply enjoy them so much. Both the 2010s and 2020s have made horror make a comeback with amazing effects both in realistic digital effects and good old practical effects. Not all the 2010s were great to me but I cannot deny the amazing films during that decade

I'm soooo glad you included clips from The Faculty and House on Haunted Hill! Two of my favorites growing up (among many). I'm right on board with you on the late 90's films. I think you make a good point about 2010's movies. I think it's more of a quality over quantity - I don't feel like there is as high of a quantity of great horror, but the quality of the great horror in that timespan is sooooo good. Personally I'm between 90's and 2010's (surprise, I was also born in 1990). I love how unapologetic you are about your opinions - it's your channel and your opinion, enjoy yourself!

[@chelsey1087]

There is a new Netflix movie called “Choose or die” and even though it is getting not too good reviews, I actually didn’t mind it. It was alright and a very entertaining horror gory movie about a cursed computer video game. It kinda reminded me of the movies Would you rather and Truth or dare. You should give it a watch if you want and then post a review. I’d give it about a 6/10 or 6.5/10

[@electricbop]

Some of it is also nostalgia based. I’m an 80s/90s kid. I remember kids in elementary school talking about Chucky or Freddy Krueger in hushed, awe filled tones. I personally love campy 80s movies, Fright Night, House, Waxwork, the Gate… but I love horror movies in general and can appreciate most horror movies if I find them interesting

[@sebbyleo6750]

We're around the same age, so early 00's likewise got me into horror. The Ring will always be on my faves list. But as I've gotten older and explored horror more, the 80's are absolutely my favorite time period for horror. And I don't care much for slashers. I do love body horror and I am obsessed with weird practical effects. For me, Possession, Society, Night of the Demons, Pumpkinhead, Eyes of Fire, and Hellraiser are some of my favorites from the decade. But what you said about nostalgia is very true. I was never around in the 80's but man do I wish I had been. The costumes, music, and overall atmosphere of 80's horror movies are a huge draw for me in that sense. I'm always looking for absolute garbage, over the top 80's movies to get my fix. In that regard, Dolls and Spookies are some of the "best" worst I've found. So fun.

I love the black and white classics because they were the only "scary movies" I was allowed to watch in the 2000s. I love creature features the most because they were some of the only horror genre movies I was allowed to watch as well. I remember watching boogie man the year after it came out with my family because my dad wanted us to stop griping about watching no scary movies. I remember my brother sneaking out of the house and watching Saw in theaters and told me it was "soooo good and I would pee my pants" at 12 and he was 16. I was allowed to watch the original Fog when I was 11 and I loved it but also wasn’t scared, it was my fathers ultimate scary movie besides ‘66 The Changeling, which I love to this day so good.

Great video, Sarah! Just like yours, my ranking would be entirely from nostalgia lol 1. 1980s - I grew up with my dad showing me a whole bunch of horror films from the 80s and I just really enjoy those movies. Poltergeist is one of my favorite movies of all time along with The Thing. 2. 2000s - I own way too many movies from the 2000s but I'm unashamed in that. So many great movies came from the decade that are just a blast to watch. 3. 1970s - Others that are all time favorites come from this decade. Black Christmas, Texas Chainsaw, Halloween, etc. All fantastic! 4. 1990s - Can't discount this one. Scream is in my top 4 on Letterboxd. I don't remember too many movies from the 90s and as a result I don't have nearly as much nostalgia for it. Plus I was born in 1999 so I didn't grow up in the decade either. 5. 2010s - It just wasn't really the decade for me. A lot of the movies weren't up my alley as much as the 80s or 00s. That said, I still loved movies like IT, Hereditary, and It Follows. Still an enjoyable decade but it's looking like the 2020s might be more up my alley than the 2010s.

Honestly, I completely agree with you in this whole ranking! The 2000’s are my absolute favorite since I grew up then AND my fav genres are supernatural and psychological!

[@luna_intheclouds]

I agree with the entire ranking!! You had very valid points

[@royalhorror]

Your thoughts were so real that I love it ! We all have different taste , if I have to rank decades ( FAVE to least fave ) , I would say - 2010’s - 2000’s - 1990’s - 1970’s -1980’s

[@legendarygigolo823]

80's had Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead, The Shining, Poltergeist, Return of the Living Dead, Videodrome...it wins decisively.

[@joeertman]

…in your mind

[@legendarygigolo823]

@@joeertman Name a better more iconic villain than Freddy from any of the other decades. You can't.

[@sara-sy3lr]

I love watching your rankings and videos! My favorite decade is probably the 2010s, I really like the "high brow" horror that came out of it and that's when I started getting into horror. I also really like the demonic supernatural genre and the 2010s have plenty of those. The 2000s is probably my second favorite, I just find them very entertaining and like the hostel franchise !

[@karldr4yner]

I would say the 2010s are gonna be known for Demonic/Possession Horror. Since Insidious at the start of the decade, we had a huge influx of movies similar - The Conjuring, The Last Exorcism, Evil Dead, The Possession, Hereditary, Sinister, The Babadook, etc. I love your channel by the way!

[@KRhetor]

The Thirties and Forties were the greatest decades for quality horror. Eighties horror felt like an endless assembly line

[@thecreaturex5197]

I actually really love horror movies from the 2010s so even though you ranked it 3rd it wad refreshing to see someone appreciate them!

[@gentlegiantgentleman772]

Your viewers should know your top choice-the 2000s
