A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors Jaws IV: The Revenge Hellraiser Creepshow 2 The Gate Evil Dead 2 Some of my favorites. Title: Re: Box Office Horror Flashback: 1987 Post by: tracy on June 21, 2012, 12:25:38 PM I loved The Lost Boys!
(http://dailygrindhouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/THE-LOST-BOYS4.jpg) And The Witches of Eastwick... (http://stylealchemy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bruxas.jpg) In fact I simply adore Jack Nicholson. Title: Re: Box Office Horror Flashback: 1987 Post by: JaseSF on June 21, 2012, 03:38:37 PM I've seen 11 of these and own 14 of 'em on DVD. Fatal Attraction is one of my girlfriend's favourites. I too find it pretty suspenseful but like a lot less than a lot of the films on this list. Nightmare 3 is my fave Nightmare film, Prom Night II is the film in that series I like best, Evil Dead 2 is lots of fun as is Monster Squad. Angel Heart I consider a great unsettling film noir style horror and I also very much like Prince of Darkness. Somehow I have yet to see The Lost Boys.
