| 80's Horror Thread: Sure it was cheesy...but oh so good! I know we have a Friday the 13th thread....but I thought that a thread for all things horror would be cool. I don't know about you but I thought the 80's was the best decade for horror...sure it was cheesy but oh so good. __________________ 'We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!'

| Wicked list. I love 80's horror. Some movies were really scary...Nightmare on Elm Street scared the life out of me when I caught a glimpse of it. The Friday the 13th movies are also favourites of mine...Parts 1 and 2 in particular. __________________ 'We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!' (Hudson in Aliens) | |||

|  The Friday the 13th movies are great. I find most of them funny too. The second one is wicked. I love how they incorporated comedy into it. The Freddy films are good. The original movie is my fave and most scary. __________________ 'We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!' (Hudson in Aliens) | |||

| Maybe I was gullible as a child, but all those movies scared the crap out of me! Including and especially the Evil Dead movies. However, once I saw The Army of Darkness, I realized how humorous Evil Dead I and II must have been. When I watched them again, I did crack up a bit. Elm St: the scene that filled many a nightmare for me was when he was walking along with his arms outstretched and his razor-fingers were scraping along the side. __________________ The songs are in your eyes I see them when you smile I've had enough I'm not giving up on a Miracle Drug | |||

| The scene in Nigtmare that scared me the most as a child was when Amanda Wyss was on the ceiling getting cut up. That scene traumatised me for most of my childhood. I'm not that bothered now. __________________ 'We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!' (Hudson in Aliens) | |||

| The third nightmare scared me a little when i first saw it, being pulled by your veins ewwww ....i really wanted that girl who was "beautiful & bad" in her dream to live she was great.  , but i watched it again recently & it didn't scare me..as much .Kinda sad to see Nancy die though  .__________________ Napoleon Dynamite: Gosh! | |||

The third one is considered the best in the series...but I can't see why. __________________ 'We're on an express elevator to hell - going down!' (Hudson in Aliens) | |||
