How are old horror movies best of all time?

[hulkamaniak]

Can someone explain to me about how real old horro movies can be "the best horror movie of all time", im not trying to start an argument but. . .

I watched some of psycho and i didnt understand how it was any good, since it took so long to get into, the killings didnt look good, and compared to movies now they werent as scary.

I do realise they were good for there times, but how comparing it to movies of now can you say they are better, i mean if that exact movie was made now exactly the same, it would be very lowly rated, is it just the fact that it is original and was good for its time?

Thanks for anyone that explains

Nothing can be the best of all time because opinions vary and something being "the best" varies person to person. You really think because a movie is labeled the "best of all time" that they took all the movies ever and put them all up against each other and then just decided which one was best? I have some coffee to sell if you want, the can says "Best coffee ever! Worth millions!" I'll part with it for 5 grand.
