Title: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Joe on January 17, 2007, 07:24:11 AM Would you all be so kind as to run down a list for me? im trying to find flicks that i havent seen and these are my favorite kind. im not looking for any inparticular though, i dont want to narrow down the type to much cause i might miss out on something. this includes satanism, outerspace,toxic waste ect. or some other way the creature comes about. this may be tough because ive seen alot but i dont think ive seen them all. thanks - Joe

Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: RCMerchant on January 17, 2007, 07:46:55 AM RETURN of the ALIEN'S DEADLY SPAWN is a GREAT early 80's movie! Look at JPicketIII 's avatar-thats the cool monster.A bloody mess of a movie!
EVIL SPAWN is also a great ultra low budget favorite of mine....a bug monster,blood,nudity,and a cameo by John Carridine! Watch for the scene where the creepy chick blows her own brains out.And a great nude swimming pool scene with a very hot looking girl. Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it......

Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Jordan on January 17, 2007, 12:25:20 PM Hmmmm.... lemme see here.... how about:
Blue Monkey (killer bug flick with no blue monkeys in sight), My Science Project (some nerdy kids create a time tunnel and end up battling various creatures from prehistory including a T-Rex), Cellar Dweller (not a biopic about yours truly but a goofy monster flick starring Yvonne de Carlo and filmed by John Carl Buechler), Rawhead Rex (kind of a lousy monster, but the movie does have a few endearing scenes), and uh.... hmm..... how about "Monster in the Closet?" Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Kester Pelagius on January 17, 2007, 12:37:58 PM A short list of (mostly) 80s 'monster' movies....
Biohazard (very bad) Biohazard II (even worse) Breeders* (very bad) Dark Universe (low-budget remake of Forbidden World) Creature AKA Titan Find (great Planet of the Vampires/Alien knock-off w/ Klaus Kinski) Creepozoids/Hybrid (funny bad; see review here (http://www.apexdigest.com/Online/review060502.shtml)) Forbidden World (sequel to Galaxy of Terror) Galaxy of Terror (Corman Alien knock-off bad) Inseminoid AKA Horror Planet (so bad it's good) Star Crystal (OMG! bad) The Terror Within (not so bad) The Terror Within II (funny bad) * There are two movies with this name, sadly both are about the same. Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Torgo on January 17, 2007, 05:23:35 PM Critters 1 & 2 ( the third and fourth were unwatchable so don't bother with those)
Ghoulies 1 & 2 The Hidden Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Jordan on January 18, 2007, 01:10:25 AM Oh jeez! The Hidden rules!
As for "Critters 3" and "Critters 4," I didn't think they were THAT bad, though the franchise should've ended at "The Main Course." Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: sideorderofninjas on January 18, 2007, 02:22:10 AM From Beyond, one of the lesser known HP Lovecraft movies.
As a monster movie, Critters 4 just seemed to rehash the wanting to use aliens as bioweapons out of Alienswithout athe budget, cast, etc...and was one of the first "In Space" movies. Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: RCMerchant on January 18, 2007, 06:37:49 AM A pretty much forgotton horror movie from 1982, and a great one is EVIL SPEAK.Clint Howard(the Kid in GENTLE BEN,and star in ROCK and ROLL HIGH SCHOOL) is a computer geek in a military school. Of course all his school chums f#ck with him 24-7,and so he gets his revenge buy conjuring up Satan via his computer(!),and aided by an army af demonic wild pigs(!!!) reeks havok on the miserable fools who taunted him.And,for good measure,he floats around in the air with a broadsword,doing what comes unnaturally.Super cool movie !

Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Andrew on January 18, 2007, 01:11:39 PM A quick list:
The Adventures of Hercules Bad Channels The Barbarians The Boogens The Being The Brain Class of Nuke 'Em High The Dark The Dungeonmaster Endless Descent Hercules (1983) Invasion Earth: The Aliens Are Here Project Metalbeast Scared to Death The Sea Serpent Split Second (actually 1992, but it feels very 80's) Syngenor (actually 1990) The Warrior and the Sorceress Xtro Xtro II (actually 1990) Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it......

Weeee. Definetly worth seeing. Oh, and do you wish to count Werewolves? If so, add on the Howling, the Thing, and An American Werewolf in London - all from 1981 if memory serves. Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Gerry on January 18, 2007, 05:06:58 PM BLEEDERS (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/bleeders/index.html) has some truly awful monsters. It's a 90s film, but has very 80s sensibililties IMO.
Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Just Plain Horse on January 18, 2007, 05:12:33 PM God, Blue Monkey was just shy of a mindless wanna-be 50's bug flick. I never saw The Kindred, but I remember seeing the videocassette cover for it time and time again during the golden age of rentals: "Anthony isn't your typical kind of bottle baby". Hee hee...
Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Torgo on January 18, 2007, 05:49:35 PM From Beyond, one of the lesser known HP Lovecraft movies. MGM is supposed to be releasing a special edition unrated restored director's cut of From Beyond anytime now. Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Javakoala on January 18, 2007, 09:50:39 PM And there's Alien Contamination or it is also called Contamination. You have to wade through really mind-numbing stuff to get to the monster, but it is a nasty-looking sumb***h.
Beware the scene in which the heroine cries, "Help me! I'm locked in here with an egg!! Please, someone!!" Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Texdar on January 19, 2007, 05:56:01 AM I thought of another one. Deadly Eyes. It's not really monsters but rats mutated to be small dog size by eating grain that has steroids in it. I still remember the part in the film where the baby's high chair had been knocked over and there was a trail of blood on the floor from where it was being dragged off. Very unsettling.

Nightbeast (Alien Factor is another good Don Dohler film but from 78) Attack of the Beast Creatures (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwGO5EWP7y0) Seventh Curse (directed by Story of Ricky director), here's a clip (http://youtube.com/watch?v=JQKFTPBgsxE) and here's another (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIKrPrAtKDc) Beyond Dream's Door (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBY_iwqfwTE) C.H.U.D Humanoids from the Deep Night of the Demon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CryBPpYTWfk), gory Bigfoot movie Devil Fetus (hong kong movie) Rape After (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5-EZTc4Ygg) Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Andrew on January 19, 2007, 11:44:31 AM I thought of another one. Deadly Eyes. It's not really monsters but rats mutated to be small dog size by eating grain that has steroids in it. I still remember the part in the film where the baby's high chair had been knocked over and there was a trail of blood on the floor from where it was being dragged off. Very unsettling. Hahaha! That brings back memories. The upgraded version of The Killer Shrews! (http://www.badmovies.org/movies/killershrews/) I have that one, in one of those big, ugly VHS cases that take up twice as much room as they should. Keep thinking about reviewing it, because so few movies feature a pack of dashhounds wearing rat costumes. EDIT: Fixed the URL to "The Killer Shrews" Title: Re: Cheesy 80's movies that have monsters in it...... Post by: Texdar on January 19, 2007, 12:40:43 PM LOL....I only really remembered the scene I described...totally forgot about the dogs in rat drag.
