Jiggy and I are now the only colonials here with any integrity, I'll be damned.
I am grabbing my musket and joining you in battle, young squire.

The amusing thing is, the 40's are nowhere near as important to the genre as the 1920's, and the 20's aren't an option.
I've seen roughly 69 horror films from the 1940's, and 32 from the 1920's - while the 1940's has some great movies, as a decade, it's just beyond weak. Like, maybe seven movies stand out particularly well, but the rest of them could have easily come up ten years previously.

It is amusing, it's like people were pre-occupied with something else than making balls to the wall horror then. Can't imagine what that could have been, must have been tough being one of the Olds.Jigsaw wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 2:40 pm The amusing thing is, the 40's are nowhere near as important to the genre as the 1920's, and the 20's aren't an option.

On the upside, it was a good decade for war movies.Reign in Blood wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 2:44 pmIt is amusing, it's like people were pre-occupied with something else than making balls to the wall horror then.

I say both decades had serious and scary movies. But to your point I don't recall seeing many films from the 70's that were a blend of horror & comedy as an example.

This lot will probably say the 70s had the best comedies too.

Well looking at the poll I'd say the 80's are definitely the winner!Reign in Blood wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 8:54 am This lot will probably say the 70s had the best comedies too.

I created the pollReign in Blood wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 2:33 pm Who allowed this to be multiple choice? I am voting 40s out of boycott for this stuffed ballot 70s suckoff fest.
I would say 80's horror was of (mostly) good quality films. The 70's had it's good hits too but when you compare the two decades, which one aged better?Reign in Blood wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 2:22 pm These guys are shitting all over 80s horror, Laz, saying it's nothing but quantity over quality. Stop these disgusting shenanigans.
