Who loves the classics ? Bella Lugosi, Boris Karloff , Vincent Price .
I find them all so much better than this new stuff they call horror . There is so much more to them then this new stuff .

The friggin Aadams family was more scary than some of these newer movies.
The crawling hand was cool.

The scariest movie I remember was the movie "Dolls", I was probably 8 and way to young to be watching it but to this day dolls freak me out. I watched bits and pieces of it a few years ago and it was the dumbest thing I had ever seen, but when I was 8 I was scared out of my mind

+1 on horror movies being crap these days, somehow disturbing violence is the new horror

I don't remember Fright Night with Seymour . We used to stay up and watch Elvira mistress of the macabre on Saturday nights at midnight.

I don't know if you would consider The Exorcist a classic,but it is by far the scariest friggin movie Ive ever seen.

I think a few movies from that time period can be put into the classics category. The Exorcist is definitely one of them . To this day it still scares people .

I am pretty sure Elvira stole her schtick from Seymour. Pretty much the same deal

Yeah . I had no doubts that Elvira was just ripping off somebody . That whole shtick is awesome though . Thats just one of the things missing from modern television

The crawling eye was great .... watch out for any cloud moving down a mountain!
Then there was "Plan 9 From Outer Space".... so corny that it was great.

Stayed up late every Saturday night just to watch. Loved it.
The scariest movie I saw as a kid was "Hill House" (I think). It was so scary, I couldn't even go by myself into the kitchen to get a drink. (Saw it again a couple of years ago. Somehow, it wasn't so scary anymore.
)

Growing up in So. Cal., we used to watch "Chiller" every Saturday night. (This was pre- Seymour and Elvira).
They should all the "B" horror films from the 50's and early 60's. For a 7 - 10 yr. old, these movies were quite scary. Boy the nightmares I used to have!
