2010s: Cabin in the Woods. I liked this film when I first saw it and found it fun and creative. Over time, however, my impression of it has diminished. It's just Joss Whedon bitterly ranting about how it's all TOXIC CONSUMERS' FAULT that nothing original is ever made anymore! But we all know consumers never have a say in what gets produced or released, especially nowadays. Unfortunately, I can't think of any other decent horror films I've seen from this decade; just some miserable Saw sequels or something forgettable like The Crazies, so Cabin just sort of wins by default.
2020s: Final Destination: Bloodlines. It also wins by default of being the only horror film I've watched this decade (or even remember watching). I mean, I guess it's okay; didn't find anything obnoxious about it. But it's not something I'll ever consider a horror classic.
Disappointed you didn't put Splinter, The Mist or The Descent in the 2000s category. Though, I would probably have Rec 2 there, that movie felt like a badass throwback to John Carpenter's greatest hits.
Black Death would have been a good pick for the 2010s, though.
50s: Godzilla
60s: The Birds
70s: Alien
80s: The Thing
90s: Tremors
2000s: Saw

Never saw Splinter, The Mist, or Rec 2. The Descent was fun, but I wasn't a fan of either of its endings, so it got docked.
Black Death...could be worthy. I remember not liking it for its bleakness at the time, but maybe age will have changed my impression of it.
