80s/90s classic horror films

I just watched Night of the Creeps last night under similar circumstances. Forgot how fun and gory it was. Also super cheesy.

The 36 Best '80s Horror Movies Ranked - SlashFilm
1 month ago - There's a reason the actor's filmography is as long as your freshly severed arm, and this movie would have been many audience members' first experience of him. Loosely based on the H.P. Lovecraft story of (nearly) the same name, "Re-Animator" sees a perfectly cast Combs play a medical student fixated on reanimating the dead. He's obsessed to the point of madness, channeling Colin Clive as Doctor Frankenstein in the James Whale classic. Like many films in this list, "Re-Animator" is another horror comedy from a decade in which they positively thrived.

November 19, 2025 - But, in terms of weirdness factor, it’s Spookies for the win. There are multiple reasons for this, and even if the movie had ended up being what co-directors Brendan Faulkner and Thomas Duran had intended (specifically, a movie titled Twisted Souls), it still would have been plenty weird.

March 9, 2024 -

Looking for horror movies from 80s decade that were actually good. That were not only good for their time but are also quite watchable today. There were a lot of movies that i absolutely loved when I wanted them when they were released in the 90s and early 2000s but now, they feel so outdated and dull. Except few. I am looking for those few movies from 80s.

These Are The '80s & '90s Horror Movies That Made Us
October 25, 2024 - In high school and college, my friends and I would head to Blockbuster (aging myself, I know) and rent a stack of schlocky horror movies. We found some truly hilarious ones and we thought Slumber Party Massacre would be a similar ilk. It is and it isn’t. It’s as quintessentially “’80s slasher movie” as it gets while still being genuinely well done.
