i agree that people tend to think that the time of their first exposure is the best era for film ... (nostalgia is a powerful thing)
but I'm an exception to that.
Most of my 1st experiences came in the 80's - which to me represents in general - the poorest time for horror films (thanhs to the home video boom)
To me the 70's will always represent the best time for horror - suited to my personal tastes. (i like the grainy gritty feel - and the common theme of helplessness in the face of conspiracy)
I can appreciate and respect the old Universal classics but they arent my favorites.
And i dont automatically hate everything new.. (although a more seasoned fan of any genre has to look hard to find a shred of origionality in a film after seeing countless 1000's of movies through the years)
