whats the best horror movie from the 80s?

ill start with the 80s cos there were so many in that decade!
a few personal faves
friday the 13th part 1
the burning ,partly cos of the movie itself,friday the 13th clone i know,but the killer "cropsy" was great,and because tom savin in my view is a god,lol, btw was miramaxs first movie
the prowler (rosemarys killer),once again sort of a ft 13th clone,and was savini again but u cant beat lots of strong blood and guts with a nice blown (literally) off head finish!
john carpenters the thing saw it when i was 11 in 82 what a movie ,atmospheric,claustrophobic,great score by morricone,great cast and great effects
an american werewolf in london,i know its part horror part comedy but i love the movie,an american werewolf in paris is utter shite!,should never have been made,sacralidge
theres many many more but its is 2 am,ill add them when im more awake,just seemed fitting to start a thread on 80s horror hope u guys agree 🙂
cant wait to see your faves!

I'd say Carpenter's The Thing is the most captivating of the 80's.

wow, u fukkerz forgot ... Day of the Dead

Being a horror fan, esp. 80's horror....it's hard for me to narrow it all down to a fave. If I had to, and I stuck to my Romero fandom....I'd go with Day Of The Dead as my fave of the 80's.

Yeah, toss up between "Day of the Dead" and "Hellraiser", for me.

i agree that 80"s was too good a decade for horror movies to just narrow it down, but i do believe that friday is too over rated, day of the dead is a much better film, even though they have nothing incommon, Romero kicks ass
