What other good 80's horror is out there?

Just watched this after seeing it many years ago, and loved the overall atmosphere of this creepy flick. Can anyone recommend any other good 80's movies (aside from the obvious ones) that have a similiar feel?

Tourist Trap is a great one.

"Killer Klowns from Outer Space" is a really good one. It has a kitschy, campy feel, while maintaining a disturbing aura. Its a must-watch for any fan of "It" or "ClownHouse".

'Dolls' is also a good one if you liked Child's Play

Two definite must-see's are "The Prowler" (1981) and "Intruder" (1989). I've seen both multiple times and love them to death. Heh heh.

Check out Demonic Toys, although it may have been in the early nineties.

Evil Dead--state the obvious first I guess.

Prom Night--the opening sequence is really disturbing

Dolls--creepy
Puppet Master--creepy

A Company of Wolves--very creepy
The Howling

Pet Sematary--classic... you probably already know

April Fools--awesome movie

Night of the Demons 1, 2, and 3, 1 was the only 80s one though

I'm on the cusp of the 80's here...

Night Breed
Dead Alive (unrated) (1992 but it qualifies as 80s horror in my book)
Cat's Eye
From Beyond (possibly the best ever)
Return of The Living Dead

My 3 favs are Clownhouse, Sleepaway Camp, and Killer Klowns From Outer Space.

The Gate is excellent in terms of 80's horror about kids home alone.

Dolls is a great one.
