Top 10 Horror Movies of the 80s

I love watching the Kurt Russell Thing

They Live is not a horror movie... it's scifi...

Impeccable list .
You don't often see They Live in top 10 horror movie lists.
Also, kudos for AAWWIL, and making The Shining #1.
I wish I was old enough to have seen it in the movie theater (70mm wide screen).
I was only 2 years old.

Well the American Werewolf in London and The Fly has some things in Common.

I think the Exorcist should have had a shout , after being banned for eleven years...

There are too many classics to pick. It's really hard. But Friday the 13th shouldn't be ignored. Even Re-animator, Child's play should be in the honorable mentions

The Shining
The Thing

Then Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween and Friday the 13th franchise were the comedy movies in the 80's 😂

Child's Play Should have been on this list

1. The Thing(1982)
2. The Shining(1980)
3. A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)
4. An American Werewolf In London (1981)
5. Friday The 13th Part 4 The Final Chapter(1984)
6. The Lost Boys (1987)
7. Christine (1983)
8. Child's Play (1988)
9. Pet Semetary (1989)
10. Poltergeist (1982)

Thank you cTV, love your play lists as always. I find horror original concepts of the 70's and 80's brilliant, as opposed to movie reap offs of the 90s, 2000 & 2010s, who copy paste and call their movies part 2 or 3 etc.

Plzz continue this series with top 10 horror movies of 90s

Crazy classics
All are superb concepts
Best decade for horror movies 😍👌
