Reasons why I hate 80s horror films:
Videodrome The Hidden Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 Hellraiser Child's Play Deadly Friend Halloween III: Season of the Witch Sooooooo... what's so great about 80s horror? Last edited by ChronoGrl; 11-10-2007 at 06:04 AM. Reason: NOTE: There are 80s horror films that I love. Just playing devil's advocate.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 - Sure it's not the original but this one is a funny, bloody romp and no horror fan should miss it. I shouldn't have to say much more than "chainsaw duel". Hellraiser - Twisted creatures from Barker make this one sick and fun. Child's Play - The first one isn't too bad, scares anybody under 15 and makes us older folk laugh. Halloween III: Season of the Witch - Forget it calls itself Halloween III, if you can do that you can enjoy this one. You left out Lost Boys, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Dawn of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Night of the Creeps, Poltergiest, The Shining, Friday the 13th, Ghostbusters, Day of the Dead, Gremlins, C.H.U.D., and soooo many more.

With Videodrome, I definitely appreciate the concept, however I feel as though the execution was ultimately poorly done. I thought that Blondie's character could have and should have been developed more in the beginning and that her suddenly sadistic urges seemed to come out of nowhere (though this could be due to bad writing).
Hellraiser: Yes, the twisted Cenobites were absolutely fantastic. They fulfilled the veritable monster-movie geekasm that I pursue time and time again... However, the original film is not about the Cenobites. It's a terrible painful tale of human degradation and corruption (the plot was just so incredibly abysmal). The thing is, I totally agree with you: The Cenobites are fantastic. Most horror fans will site Hellraiser as being incredible because of the presence of The Cenobites... If there were more of them, I would concede and embrace. But any scene sans-Cenobite (which is most of the movie) is just... awful. Child's Play - But I'm not under 15. :p Halloween III: True, I can embrace this movie for the camp factor. I actually gripped onto it into the wee hours of the morning, waiting for Michael Myers to emerge... I like explaining it to my friends, though as a movie about... Irish robots from Munich stealing part of the Stone Henge so as to create a chip to put in a Halloween mask to melt kids' brains and turn them into crickets. bwahahahaha. TCM: But... The costumes... are... just... so... bad... *envisions leatherface dancing on a truck holding a dead body and a chainsaw* ... *shudder* Oh, and the omissions are purposeful. I definitely acknowledge their powerful presence in horror movie fame. GREAT 80s horror films (pulled from your list) Poltergeist Killer Klowns (SUCH an underrated film) Lost Boys The Shining Ghostbusters Gremlins What about: Sleepaway Camp Aliens The thing is, there are good and bad movies for every decade... But the 80s are so easy to pick on! I really hate the awful hairstyles and the clothing... The overarching cliched, repeated, eventually parodied and homaged teenage debauchery themes... The bad special effects... The REALLY bad writing... Not so much.
