Worst 50 Horror Films from the '80s

Night Train to Terror (1985)

You know, I never did watch this one all the way through.  I can scarcely get through the beginning musical number before I feel fresh, warm blood building up in my throat.  I can only fathom what the entire movie would do to me...

I know that this is an old post, but did you know that they play the same clip 4 times before the movie ends?
It's quite surreal.

While we're on the topic of threes.
Halloween:  Silver Shamrock pretty much stunk it up too

hehe... Halloween 3 is not as bad as part 2, part 4 and part 5...

Halloween part 2... (stolen from Empire Strikes Back) aka... Laurie Strode is Michael Myers sister and what happens... Loomis SHOOTS Mayers in the EYES and Mayers acts like a blindman... Oddly, didnt Laurie stick a hanger in Michael's eye in the first movie (that would of been yesterday)

Halloween part 4 Cool Loomis and Myers are not dead... And Myers isnt blind either... Mmmm, I guess the "dark side" runs strong in his blood.

Halloween part 5 We get to see Michael's emotional side...

Howling IV: The Original Nightmare. This movie was absolute PAIN. If it wasn't painful, it was boring. A true nightmare.

Scream (1983).  Not of the Wes Craven series, but a stupid murderous ghost story.  People hike, people talk, people get chased, people get killed, I get bored to death.

Don't you guys mean best horror films from the 80s? 
How about Scream (1981) - just absolutely painful to sit through.
Who could forget The Last Slumber Party (1988)? Ugh...I know I've mentioned these two abominations in previous threads, but they're really fitting for this topic.

To put in my two cents,(worth absolutly nothing right now),Deadly Friend was a HBO premier movie that went nowhere.Amity Horror 4? Amity Horror 3 stopped me from watching any other Amity horror flick. "Pieces", that was christophers  george's last film. I've seen a lot worse and I am surprised nobody has run a sequel spree off of it. Happy Birthday to me, and Prom night,to me are the canadians trying to cash in. Terror Train, I don't what to think.I think one of the the worst video-home movies is "Trick or treat". To me, this movie is painful to watch,or even to describe.I really enjoyed Manic Cop and the first sequel. The thrid was pretty bad,but not forgotton.I may have missed something, but did anybody mention "Deathstalker".Last I checked ,there was 3 of them.

I LOVE Trick Or Treat, I thought it was a really cool movie and was quite surprised that it was one of only a few heavy metal related flicks of the 80s. The Sammi Curr character is great (though Marc Price was a bit annoying) and the music by Fastway was some of their best.

As for Deathstalker, there's about 4 films last time I checked.

How about Deadly Blessing?

[retrorussell]

ahhh! you beat me russell! 

Yeah, I didn't care for Deadly Blessing either.  Saw it a lot on regular tv late at night.

More bad ones..
The Prey
Night School
Mother's Day

Prom Night (1980)

[BTM]

The Howling II.  Blech!

Yeah, it sucked, but you gotta give it props for having Sybil Danning get naked in it.  :)

[retrorussell]

Friday The 13th Part 5 was pretty damn bad.  Not as bad as Jason Goes To Hell, but that was made in the '90s.

Graduation Day was pretty rotten.

Unhinged was deadly dull.. and filmed in my hometown, too.

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but how about "Don't Go In The Woods.. Alone!"

No one said these two: R.O.T.O.R. and Outlaw of Gor, both on the Bottom 100 of IMDb

  This is a Great Thread! Being a Teenager and a Horror fan in the 80`s , I saw many of these movies in the theater!

I can add MOTEL HELL ( 1980 ) A personal favorite because my friends mom hated horror movies and we finally got her to take us to this. Naturally she never took us to anything ever again!



  Also I would like to add this two because they SUCK!!!!!!!!!  and they are a perfect example of why some good movies should never have sequel's

( 1983 )


( 1986 )
