Quoting: Definatley Nightmare on Elm Street.  Freddy was baaad.End Quote

Oh thats a good one, the original one that is.  The sequels were nothing compared to Part 1.

Quoting:
"Our hero" was also famous for playing a nerd on tv in the 80's, but his name escapes me at the moment....

All I know is that he played "Skippy" on "Family Ties". I remember that movie too! The element of scare was equal to that of "Hello Mary-Lou: Prom Night II".

Mark Price?

I think my favorite horror movie was Phantasm.  Very eerie!
End Quote

As much as I liked Phantasm....I could never understand the full story of the movie.   ???  The silver ball through the skull is pretty scary and original.

One fun Horror movie I really enjoyed in the 80's was House.  But I think that the best horror movie was The Shining.  Good story and acting.  

Quoting:
Definitely Poltergeist. That movie scared me when I was little, and it still has the ability to scare me now. :o

I agree, totally!  8)

Quoting:
for those who chose Nightmare on Elm Street, I have heard rumors of a new sequel scheduled for release in 2003-2004.  I don't know how true it is, but I heard things.

I do believe that Freddy is going to be fighting Jason from Friday the 13th...should be interesting, my bet's on Jason because he just won't die...I mean he's been in camps, in space, in hell...

Then again, I was wrong about the Giants (BAH!) so it could be a tossup.

Quoting:
I have a quick Question.

I remember a movie where a bunch of kids slept in a Mauseleum(sp?) and where a girl who is brushing her teeth gets killed.  

I can't for the life of me remember the name of this movie, can someone help?

Could it be "One Dark Night"???

I think I remember this flick - wasnt it simply titled "Mausoleum"? the vid slick had a pic of 2 kids being dragged across the mausoleum floor (their fingers leaving bloodied grooves in the floor) by this huge glowing head with evil energy radiating from its eyes. Ring any bells?

For the record - my faves were:

Poltergeist - the freaky scenes when the tree swallows the kid, and that whole CLOWN DOLL thing! ooh! freaky!!!

Elm St IV - Dream Warriors - when Freddy opened up the veins of a kid in hospital and 'walked' him like a marionette puppet off the side of a building by his stringy veins and tendons etc...EW!!

Oh there are HEAPS i could mention!

Quoting:
I used to be a horror movie nut when I was growing up. Anyone remember the "Tool Box Murders"?
End Quote

I remember the Tool Box Murders.  Boy, I haven't seen that movie in ages.  I should rent it again.  I have seen so many horror movies in my time.   ;D  Rarely does one ever scare me.

That was the guy that played Skippy on Family Ties and the movie's soundtrack was awesome. It was a bunch of songs by Fastway. But my personal favorite 80s movie was probably Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter, even though there were six more after that one. It had Crispen Glover and Corey Feldman in it. Jason at his best.

Thank you very much.  It was driving me nuts ;D

I heard that too.  My vote has to go to Freddy though--I always liked him.  Even when he was killing folks he had a sense of humor about him! LOL!  ;D

I really didn't watch too many horror movies, but I always liked the Nightmare on Elm Street Series.
One I do remember that scared the crap out of me was "Salem's Lot".  That one scene, with the dude scraping on the hospital window--ugh, still gives me the creeps, just thinking about it...*shudder*

What can I say,  I'm a "lightweight" when it comes to horror movies.  :-[

Oh, yes! That is one of the scariest of all time. When that originally aired on TV, I remember I couldn't sleep because I heard the sound from the TV, so I got up to watch it for a little while. Bad move! When Mom made me go back to bed, I really couldn't get to sleep!

The scene where the little boy vampire visits his friend, who takes a little cross out of his model graveyard and drives the vampire away always stuck in my mind.

Quoting:



Another good (cheesy) one was Trick Or Treat.  Nobody seems to remember it.  I was not very scary, but it was known best for starring Ozzy Osbourne as an anti-rock'n'roll preacher, and Gene Simmons as a radio dj.  "Our hero" was also famous for playing a nerd on tv in the 80's, but his name escapes me at the moment....That was the guy that played Skippy on Family Ties and the movie's soundtrack was awesome.

I've seen Trick or Treat. I had forgotten all about it until I saw this post! :)

I'd like to cast my vote for "The Howling" and "The Howling 2." Both VERY 80's when you see them now...the hairstyles, fashions, etc. Not to mention the werewolves!
