Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal. But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

It's a Czech folk tale (OtesÃ¡nek) turned horror story... Well, at least it seemed like a horror story to me... Wow. Wikipedia says it's actually comedy... I am not going to watch any stand up comedy from Czech land. It'll probably make me tremble in fear. Logged

The Shining, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Blair Witch Project, the Thing, Alien, Aliens, the Fly, Halloween, Jaws, the Birds, Evil Dead, Re-Animator, the Exorcist, Cujo, Hellraiser, Dracula, Frankenstine, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Psycho...need I really go on?

No, new American horror movies suck. First like jackofalltrades says, we have Hitchcock. He made some truly amazing horror movies. Also, there were plenty of great horror films in the seventies like Black Christmas, Last House on the Left, and Wicker Man.
Actually America has kinda redeemed itself with some newer ones as well. The two most recent Stephen King adoptions were exceptionally good in my opinion (The Mist and 1408).

Honestly I don't think you can say there a specific region where the best horror movies come from though. Japan has some good ones, France has some of my personal favorites, and even Italy has some nice ones. Each has there own unique charms because of cultural differences, so I try and keep my collection of horror movies diverse. I'm a bit of a horror movie/b-movie addict >_<
