best horror films of the 80s/90s

It, nightmare on elmstreet friday the thirteenth, um... Halloween, urg idk...

didn't IT come out in the early 90's that movie scared the shiz outta me. Why does everyone like Scream? They were all lame the only reason I watched it was because I liked the cop actor

pretty much the same as the original. just more gore and effects

yea NOTD remake is mostly the same as original but with updated special effects and color .. different ending

So worth the $10 blindbuy?

'It' came out in 1990. it was a long movie and I liked it and never grew tired of watching it. scream came out in 1996 and it was ok the later ones were not so good.

I'm a huge 80's / early 90's horror movie guy....

i split them into two categories though...

1. straight up horror movies

2. horror / comedies

some of my favs....

Night of The Creeps
Night of The Comet
Night of the Demons
Night of the Living Dead (1990 version)

Waxwork
Popcorn
976-Evil
Fright Night
Critters
The Unnamable
PUmpkinhead
Howling I and V
Puppet Master movies

so many

i love the bit in Deep Red where David Hemmings walks round inside the old house with the Goblin track in the background(MAD PUPPET i think its called)
Excellent scene and it led me to stocking my mp3 player with Goblin tracks
Im putting together a Goblin/italian horror movie mix with snatches of dialogue so if anyones interested in downloading it watch this space and ill send you the link when ive put it together.

Seen most Argentos early stuff but never seen Tenebrae...they have it for £20 at HMV but i also saw it included in the second box of the banned in my local HMV and thats only £12...with four other movies so i may pick it up today.
