    7 Best Horror Films of the 80's (according to AMC)

    http://blogs.amctv.com/monsterfest/2...-greatest-.php

    Return of the Living Dead
    The Lost bBoys
    Killer Klownz From Outer Space
    Hellraiser
    The Fog
    Creepshow
    The Blob

    Another botched list.

    All good, but IMO, not the best.

    The Thing, Day of the Dead, Fright Night, and A Nightmare on Elmstreet should be there.

    Lost Boys and The Fog are the only ones I really enjoyed out of that list. Rest are ok, certainly no where near what I'd call "the best".

    Just someone listing their own personal favorites from the decade. I don't see anything in the original article proclaiming these to be 'the best' of the genre.

    I'm presenting these in no particular order, but these are all flicks I found time to enjoy between solving my Rubik's Cube and admiring girls in leg-warmers (I keep hoping those will come back).
    Not sure how AMC gets 'these are the best' from 'these are all flicks I found time to enjoy'.

    There's too many good horror movies from the 80s to just pick 7.... The Thing, Re-Animator, Day of the Dead, Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox, The Beyond, Tenebre, Return of the Living Dead, Henry: POASK, Demons, City of the Living Dead, Evil Dead, Hellraiser, Nekromantik, etc.

    Can't pick just 7.

    That's a piece of crap list. Sure, some of those are good, hell, some would be on my list, but give me a break.

    Serioulsly, i never thought Creepshow was a good film, the only part i liked about it was the story with the little boy stalking & trying to kill his mom in that house, Other than that, the Film Sucked

    I'm pretty sure you have the wrong movie.

    Not Creepshow. Creepshow had the yeti in the box under the stairs eating people for example.

    You're thinking of Trilogy of Terror 2 a 90's flick.

    I agree with ROTLD and Creepshow at least, The Blob being on that list is confusing... it was pretty decent but over films like Evil Dead, The Thing and Day of the Dead?
