I saw Critters and Ghoulies 1 and 2 in the theatre when I was a kid.
No wonder why I'm so creepy

Needs Dead & Buried, Night of the Creeps, The Thing, The Fly, Prince of Darkness and The Beyond. And Demons 1! You've got 2 there, but not 1!
That little dude in the Munchies poster has a cigar and a beer. Gotta check that out.
Were they really bad CG? If they were really bad CGI it was probably The Langoliers.Guys there is this movie I have been thinking about for years. I saw it when I was a kid all I remember are these flying things with teeth flying on people and killing them. I want to say it was 80's but maybe early 90's.Sounds familiar to anyone?
That series is weird. The first one is a pretty straight-up Gremlins knock-off like Ghoulies and Critters, but the second one becomes a weird family comedy with Dom Deluise voicing an ugly costumed critter with wacky hijinks.
HORRIFYING!Even the kids movies
I think I found it...Without Warning (1980)I don't think that is it. The one scene I can remember is a couple driving down a highway late at night and these things flying through their windshield and killing them. I know that is vague it is just this movie (for some odd reason) has been on my mind for a while.
Years before Night of the Creeps finally came out on DVD, I rented Night of the Comet thinking it was Night of the Creeps, only to be disappointed it wasn't the movie I thought it was. I should really re-watch Night of the Comet without the confusion.
A-ha's Take On Me video was based on a sequence from altered states.
The Gate
Chopping mall

Ah, very cool. I see their homage, now.

I watched Altered States just a few years ago, for the first time, and that epiphany during the ending sequence was both amazing and kinda distracting. :lol
I think I made a giant thread about it ages ago.
I recently watched this movie called Altered States (1980). It is not traditional horror from the 80s, it leans more towards the sci-fi thriller genre. Nonetheless, it features an intense history and truly disturbing images. The movie follows Dr. Edward Jessup and his research in sensory deprivation conducted on isolation tanks.
Dr. Edward is locked away from the world in a tank full of water for extended periods of time, with nothing more than his own mind to consort himself. His experiments initially begin with mildly amusing mental trips recalling (disturbing) fragments of his infancy; however, his obsession with sensory deprivation soon takes him on a fantastic and violent ride where his mind and body are pushed to their limits Or so he thinks.
Lots of trippy images are shown during those isolation tank experiments. After all, this movie was produced in the late 70s. Something really cool about this film is that the viewer is never sure if the situations presented are indeed real or just products of Dr. Edwards broken psyche. Very solid acting from the lead William Hurt. Blair Brown supports him as Emily Jessup, Edwards wife and lab assistant.
Not astounding, but overall a great early 80s sci-fi thriller film. I give this movie three and ½ seven-eyed evil goats out of five.

Still one of the most disturbing SciFi films I've ever watched.
It has a very rare, extremely weird intensity.
Watched Nightmare on Elm Street 3 on SyFy.
Watched it at the theatre on Halloween last year.
I think it is possibly the greatest film of all time.
What do you guys think about this cinematic masterpiece?
Love, love 80's movies. Here is my collection of 80's horror. What am I missing? Should definitely add the Critters movies to my collection.
Btw, should Wraith be considered a horror movie?
Great film. Watch 4 as well. Under-rated and really cool.

One of the best horror sequels ever made, and just under the original ANOES for best movie in the franchise for me.
I think the only ANOES films I can say that I didn't enjoy in some way were Freddy's Dead and the remake.
On the second, I didn't really like that FreddyOther than that it was a great movie. I especially liked Robert Englund as the bus driver and the bird scene.appeared at the pool barbecue. It would've been better canonically if he only appeared in dreams.
You all were not joking! Incredible cast and writing, what a great time all around.I watched Chopping Mall a couple weeks ago. So bad its good
Of all the horror icons from that era I never would have thought he'd make such an impression. Must be all those re-runs on cable!I'm in the education field, I am amazed that 5 year olds know who Chucky is. He has attained folklore status it seems.
