I get what you are saying but I always felt that the 70s/80s were the "birth" of horror films (I was born in 1970). Yes, that is just a matter of opinion. I think it's awesome that I had the opportunity to scare myself for the first time by watching The Exorcist late at night, all by myself, in the dark....it scared the crap out of me!! I think that some of the best horror movies ever came from the 70s/80s!! You're right, it was a very impressionable time in my life and I loved it!!
