Original creepshow was the first movie to scare me. It got me into scary movies when I was about 8. aand...

People under the stairs! Might be early 90's but i'll throw it in there anyways.

When you say "the one with the clown" I think that you are talking bout Poltergist (sp?) the one where the little girl is looking at the tv and says "They're here" si? And how bout Killer Klowns from Outer Space

No, he's talking about Stephen King's 'It', which is a 3 hour movie about a "clown" Pennywise, who terrorizes a small town in the US.

It, BTW, sucks balls and is lamer than a Vince Goodrum most muscular.

Of the movies listed, I'd say 'Aliens' is the best. Other good flicks are 'The Thing', Sleepaway camp, HellRaiser, Maniac cop, Puppet master, People under the stairs, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm street, Poltergeist, The Fog, The fly, Evil dead and more.

gh15 · « **Reply #43 on:** January 30, 2011, 02:28:46 AM »

poltergaist very good ,, top 5 but not top 3,, top 3 are the ones i said,, but movies is subjective,,one thing there no argue about ,,no one will argue about exorsist being the best horror movie ever,,also one of the 10 greatest movies of all time

you got that right. Very over rated.

Evil Dead has to be the best from that era. IMO.

Maximum Overdrive was a weird one. I did find that truck with the green goblin(i think it was anyway) face quite sinister.
Awesome AC/DC soundtrack though.

IT was great until the alien BS towards the end. Ruins the story.

GraniteCityDon · « **Reply #46 on:** January 30, 2011, 03:25:12 AM »

An excellent collection of films, however may i contribue 2 classics in every sense of the word:

Demons & Demons 2

wes · « **Reply #47 on:** January 30, 2011, 03:26:23 AM »

The Hidden (though more of a Sci-Fi flick)
Near Dark
House By The Cemetary
From Beyond
Night Of The Demons
Demons
Demons 2
Zombie
The Hitcher
Fright Night

Way too many to go further.........80`s was a great decade for horror.

You a fan of the Horror genre, Wes? Do you still watch them? There are a couple of threads in the E board on the topic (not just flicks from the 80s, though).

Kiwi,I love movies in general,but have always been a big horror movie fan.......my favorite genre` by far.

Most of todays "horror" movies suck ass bigtime,but yes I still watch them.

I mostly watch older stuff as a rule though....I own a few thousnd movies,some on VHS but I refuse to part with them as they are not out on DVD as of yet.
