A game cast, a weird, Fincher-esque tone, no input from Wes Craven, and a backstory…
This week on the Really Awful Movies Podcast, a bit of a departure: The Top 10 Horror Movies from the 1980s.
The 80s were the Golden Era of Horror. Of course, classic horror movies are produced every decade. And right now, we are in a bit of a Golden Era, with new classics being created before our very eyes, Hereditary, Terrifier, Goodnight Mommy, Bone Tomahawk, and many more.
However, the 80s were different. There were so many titles released – and so many iconic franchises were birthed, two of which made their way into the list here.
So tune in, and don’t forget to subscribe to the show. Back to the regularly scheduled straight up review format next week.

And it manages to add something new to a slightly shopworn genre, the vampire film. And it does with marrying Western / bank heist sensibilities, with a dark cinematic aesthetic.
