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?

You want some great 80's try (in order as on my shelf)...

Devil Times Five - watch this on DVD with the commentary, the movie had 2 directors and the director in the commentary rips into the other director something fierce.
Splatter University - a laughable and hilarious attempt at a slasher flick, if you want to see a movie so bad that its not even good, its still bad.
Evil Laugh - don't ask me how they killed that guy with the micorwave.
Chopping Mall (aka Killbots)
Don't Answer the Phone - get the UNRATED DVD, do not get it cut, the cut version sucks
The Initiation
Mountaintop Motel Massacre
April Fools Day
Silent Night, Deadly Night
Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 - another movie that's so bad, it's not good
The Intruder - how Bruce Campbell is guest staring when he's only in 30 seconds of the movie is beyond me.
Girls Nite Out
Return of the Living Dead
Just Before Dawn
Madman
My Bloody Valentine
Sleepaway Camp
Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers
Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wastlend
The Burning - kind of a rip with the raft murder, but it has Jason Alexander when he had hair.
An America Werewolf in London - a modernization of the werewolf story.
Return to Horror High - One of George Clooneys first movie roles.
The Funhouse - Tobe Hoopers followup to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The Prowler
Critters
Terror Train - Jamie Lee Curtis and a killer transvestite.
Unhinged - why it was "banned", I have no idea.
Prom Night
The Majorettes - if you figure out exactly what type of movie this is (slasher/thriller/action/drama) please let me, and the movie, know.
Zombie
Slumber Party Massacre - watch the trailer, it sounds like a porno.
Slumber Party Massacre 2 - a musical/comedy/horror experience.
Sorority House Massacre
The Mutilator - they stuck the giant fish hook where?
Hunters Blood - a group of "city folk" being hunted by "inbred rednecks".
The Driller Killer - the original "driller killer", and the scene on the street at the bus stop still weirds me out.
Blood Rage (aka Nightmare at Shadow Woods)
Night of the Living Dead (1990 Remake) - Barbara finally kicks some @ss.
Last House on the Left - Wes Cravens first movie.
I Spit on Your Grave - caution: an offensive, disgusting movie, the worst movie ever if you ask Roger Ebert.
Class Reunion Massacre (aka The Redeemer: Son of Satan!) - a graduating class is locked in a school and killed off one by one. very atmospheric for its time and used to scare the crap out of me as a child. if u can find a copy on VHS rip it and give me a copy as "no quality copies exist to make a DVD master from" at least thats what the DVD studios say.

Great list, though some are from the 70's.

I collect dead pigeons then I press them between the pages of a book.

Probably because he's best friends with Scott Spiegel.
