..................that's just naming a few. I could go on and on.

I'd add angel heart, Rawhead Rex and An American Werewolf in London.

Why is the burning not on that list?

Hellraiser?

"Lynch Mob" is my favorite movie. This is very interesting to watch.

I forgot about The Burning, but I was under the impression that it may be a 70's movie, what with it starring a young, buff(ish) Jason Alexander and I think Holly Hunter is in it too., Think about how Jason looks in Seinfeld, which started in '89, and compare it to how he looks in The Burning. Surely it's a 70's movie.

"brain dead" better known as "dead alive" was released in 1992, so its not really an 80's movie. however it is a bad ass movie.

Ghost Busters!!!

i love horror movie

One of the most unique horror movie endings of all time was from Sleepaway Camp, I remember seeing that on VHS as a kid at a friends sleepover party, and we were all like WTF!! Trust me, if you havent seen or heard of this ending, or this movie, check it out. 🙂

I had a newfound appreciation for Fright Night when I saw a screening of it last fall in theatres. It still plays well to a crowd.

Yeah Sleepaway Camp had an incredible ending. One worthy of sequels. I've never seen them though.
