If you eliminate the constant stream of inferior remakes, really bad direct to video drek, American remakes of foreign films, and such... the intelligent viewer can find a lot to like. I cut a lot of really good films from my list of 22.
The re-emergence of supernatural storylines, over slashers, is a contributing factor, IMO, as is the amount of quality international films, especially Asian cinema.
Horror is back on track, after some dismal times.

Well said. I couldn't agree more. It's a good time to be a horror fan.
......
For the 80s, for now I'll back:
Basket Case
Videodrome
Cannibal Holocaust
