i think for the sake of organization, classics are determined chronologically here on the forum but we can all agree that a true horror classic is a film that defines the genre... almost always a film that spawns many immitations, often the first of its kind - or at least the fist to make any noise.
It will be a benchmark film that subsequent films are judged by.
Halloween, Psycho, Texas Chainsaw, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead.
Essential landmark films that are a must for any horror film collector.
not to be confused with Cult Classics .. which may not be landmark films but own a place in the upper ranks of the genre due to some unique characteristic - often just raw entheusiasm (Evil Dead, Hills Have Eyes)
Crowd pleasers for those sick of the same old hat ...
