30s to 70s:

Hammer, Cushing and Lee (Frankenstein/Dracula/Mummy series, Vampires and other monsters/ some thrillers)

Universal, Lugosi, Chaney and Karloff (Original Frankenstein/Dracula/Wolfman/Mummy, Invisible Man, Creature from Black Lagoon etc)

Vincent Price (Dr Phibes, Theatre of Blood, Diary of a Madman etc)

Roger Cormon films (Mainly Edgar Allen Poe adaptions/ b movies)

Amicus fims (mostly anthology films)

Tigon Films (70s Hammer rival)

Italian Horror (Argento and Fulci)

Romero and 70s zombie films

Hitchcock/ Psychological horror

Herschell Gordon Lewis/ Splatter/ Gore

70s shock horror (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Exorcist, Hills Have Eyes, Halloween etc)

Is there anything I've missed out there? I'm trying to make a definitive list.

Thanks...I havent even looked into French horror or Blaxploitation yet!

Giallo, I've lumped in with Itallian.

Gimmicks/ Fear of nature can go under B-movies.

I completely forgot sci fi horror crossovers as well.
