Yea, he murdered Ted Danson.


I still haven't seen a Basketcase movie. Well, now that I think about it, I kind of remember one of them (pretty sure it was the first one), just don't remember it well.

Just found this and it's a riot.

The Burning
The Thing
Sleepaway Camp
Nightmare 2
Pumpkinhead

Some of my faves:

Nightmare on Elm Street 1 and 3

Friday the 13th 6

Return of the Living Dead

Day of the Dead

The X-Rated version of Sleepaway Camp 3 is fantastic for the gore, If you havent seen it find a copy

Have you guys seen Maniac Cop?

I love horror movies and Friday the 13th but Takes Manhatten is horrible. Friday the 13th was good up till part 6 after that they were all shit.

Best 80s:

The Shining 1980
Dark Night of the Scarecrow 1981 Just released on dvd and far too good to be ignored.
Poltergeist 1982
Christine 1983
A Nightmare on Elmstreet 1984
Silver Bullet and Witchboard both rock from 1985 Couldnt decide I love them both.
Aliens 1986
Hellraiser 1987
Childs Play 1988
Pet Sematary 1989
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer released on video in 1990 but made in the 80's

BlueMaxx wrote:^ I may agree. 80s was arguably the best decade for horror. Slashers, creature features, ghost flicks, zombie movies, and the "Universal" monsters were at there strongest.

U mean the real Lon Chaney Bela Lugosi Universal Monsters? Cause those were done from the 20's to the early 60's.

^ah yes, but lets not discount 'The Monster Squad'

A true classic.

And I feel bad for forgeting "April Fool's Day" in my previous post.
