Great choices, I agree. You could throw in A Nightmare on Elm Street and Poltergeist for the '80s as well.
I was gonna name Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street for the '80s in general but wasn't sure if horror had a wide enough audience for them to help define the decade. Freddy and Jason are both icons though that most people recognize.
