			Tough to say,  At first I was going to say Nosferatu, the silent film but I think Killer Clown is right it would have to be Psycho.

			Most recently 28 Days Later, and House of a 1,000 Corpses. I feel they are important to the success of horror in the near-future. Beacuse 28 Days was so commercial and it wasn't a typical mass marketed horror flick. And for House of 1,000 Corpses beacuse it was pretty disturbing for the attention that it recieved. With Rob Zombie using an old-school approach maybe more horror will be brought out with an old-school approach as-well. I don't think that would be such a bad idea.

			To answer my own question, I'm going to say The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.  After all, it was essentially the first horror film....and German Expressionism at its finest.
