When you're a parent, particularly a single parent who's had to deal with tragedy and trauma, and/or dealing with any kind of mental illness, the Babadook is real world horror and dread. The Babadook monster is a manifestation/representation of her fears, negative thoughts. It's a magnificent psychological horror film, with master-class acting.
Comparing it to fantasy horror like The Ring or anything of that sort is ridiculous. BUT - One has to understand the complexities of the movie. If you don't have children, suffer from any mental illnesses or have lived a sheltered life with little tragedy or sorrow, then the ignorance for not liking it is understandable. Stick to your hyper realistic fantasy scares.

Really? The Babadook? The obnoxious film with one creepy scene and one interesting shot (opening) where you wished the bad guy would win just to satisfying watch the child die? (I know this sounds harsh, but that kid is the most annoying character ever to be put on screen. The movie dragged as a result. I know you're supposed to hate the child with the mind of the mother as she struggles not to kill him, but the movie was contradictory with then trying to convince you to be on the mother's side by not wanting to try and kill him. The kid's a jerk)

It would be interesting to know your reasoning behind your choosing. Is it a personal choosing or are there weighted reviews? I for one would not have chosen the same on 2000s and 2010s. Let the right one in is a great movie, but best horror movie of 2000s would probably be [REC] or Paranormal Activity. 2010s is harder since there are very few good horror movies but one that definitively is a better horror movie is Bone Tomahawk.
Also weird how you ended on 1930 when 1920's have Nosferatu: eine Symphonie des Grauens that is so iconic

Personally my list would go:
2010s: It Follows
(It breaks horror down to it's most basic elements)
2000s: Let the Right One In
(I've Read the book, seen the movie and the American adaptation loved all of them)
1990s: Ringu
1980s: 3 way tie between A Nightmare on Elm Street 3, The Thing & They Live
1970s: Halloween
(Sorry Exorcist)
1960s: Night of the Living Dead
1950s: House on Haunted Hill
1940s: The Wolf Man
1930s: The Mummy
1920s: Noseferatu

All in all, this is a very strong list. I do think you stopped too soon, because the decade of the 1920's is a particularly strong one for horror. In fact, narrowing it down to one film may be daunting, considering the list would include: _The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari_ (1920), _Nosferatu_ (1922, _The Phantom of the Opera_ (1925, and _Metropolis_ (1927, to name a few.

Cant stand that people automatically disregard Silence of the lambs as a horror. Its just as much a psychological horror as a crime thriller, cant it be either, both or even something else? Call it what you want but theres plenty of horror there and we all know it. Anybody worth their salt knows it was marketed as a thriller to get the acclaim and Oscar nod. haha
