One teen will take on classic horror movies. Has horror changed my generation? Should I stick with the horror movies in my generation or earlier?
Born in the very early 1990s, I've decided to watch a numerous amount of 60s-70s-80s movies, and post what I thought about them on here.
I will rate the movies on a scale 1-10; 1 being the lowest, 10 being the highest.
Enjoy my marathon ;D
**NOTE** This was inspired by Horrorbuff7193. I liked his "Bad Movie Marathon Thread" so I decided to come up with this marathon, and sort of use his grading system. Thank you Horrorbuff7193!

Some trivia about this marathon:
- Tears_of_the_Fallen came up with this idea, to grow more respect to Horror board regulars. He also wanted to see how good some of the horror classics really are.
- All of these films have been first-time viewings.
- Phantasm's review led to four pages over discussion of the rating, longer than any other discussion of a rating in this marathon.
- This marathon was so well-reviewed and liked, that it was asked by some IMDb users to add more horror classics to the original list. Not only was it asked to add movies to the original list, it was asked a SECOND time to add more movies. And yes, a THIRD time was asked. But this will be the last time he'll be adding more movies.
- If a movie is under the category "On Hold", that means Tears_of_the_Fallen cannot find the movie at this moment, and will try later.
