Most people take that to mean highlighting one horror movie a day, but here at FSR, we\u2019ve taken that up a spooky notch or nine by celebrating each day with a top ten list. This article about the 50 best \u201980s horror movies is part of our ongoing series <strong>31 Days of Horror Lists<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>Ah, the \u201980s. There are fantastic horror films from nearly every year since cinema began, but for many fans, the genre\u2019s output doesn\u2019t get any better than it did in the \u201980s. The rise of practical effects and the artistry on display from masters like Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, Stan Winston, Screaming Mad George, and others played a big role, but equally important was the sense of fun that infused horror movies. Plenty of serious, soul-crushing horrors were released in the \u201980s too, but the decade really saw the genre find an interest in delivering pure entertainment too.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re wr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing up this year\u2019s 31 Days of Horror Lists with a big, bangin\u2019 list of the 50 best horror movies of the \u201980s. That might sound like a lot, but we could have easily made this list two or three times bigger. <em>Pet Sematary<\/em>, <em>Pumpkinhead<\/em>, <em>Tenebrae<\/em>, <em>Friday the 13th<\/em>, <em>The Monster Squad<\/em>, <em>The Hidden<\/em>, <em>Angel Heart<\/em>, <em>Maniac<\/em>, <em>Dead Ringers<\/em>, <em>Waxwork<\/em>, <em>Anguish<\/em>\u2026 none of these made the cut for the top 50. Can you believe that not even Michael Mann\u2019s <em>The Keep<\/em> survived the voting process?! The list of movies that didn\u2019t make the top 50 would make a great top 50 in their own right.

Let\u2019s generously assume it\u2019s the latter. <em>Possession<\/em>, perhaps alienating in its apparent freneticism, is unlike any other movie made in the \u201980s. Or before the \u201980s. Or since the \u201980s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrzej \u017bu\u0142awski<\/strong>\u2019s masterpiece is turbulent and unnerving, yes, but the director has firm control over every frame. In this tale of a family in ruins over infidelity, paranoia, and\u2026 something else\u2026 the film abounds with gripping thrills and edge-of-your-seat scares. It also features one of the most fearless performances committed to celluloid courtesy of <strong>Isabelle Adjani<\/strong>. To say anything more would be to give the goods away, so let\u2019s just say <em>Possession<\/em> is a film that has to be experienced firsthand (and hopefully as soon as possible).

So much so that we probably won\u2019t see it on Disney+ until all of the horror elements have been edited out by the fun police over at the House of Mouse. It\u2019s a crime that it isn\u2019t on the streaming service to introduce youngsters to horror. Then again, this adaptation of <strong>Ray Bradbury<\/strong>\u2019s creepy carnival tale gives most adult horror movies a run for their money in the fright department.<\/p>\n<p><em>Something Wicked This Way Comes<\/em> boasts some very effective sequences, including a nightmare-inducing one involving spiders.

And then when he\u2019s not quite sure that Jason is dead, he repeatedly hacks away at him while screaming \u201cdie! die!\u201d over and over again. Tommy\u2019s approach is a smart one because far too often would-be victims just assume the killer is dead.<\/p>\n<p>This is also one of the greatest endings to any slasher of all time.

Not to disparage <strong>Clive Barker<\/strong>\u2018s original masterclass in horny Grand Guignol, but his initial gory romance doesn\u2019t fully indulge in the Cenobite mayhem we always imagine typifying the series.

The genre format had its heyday back in the \u201960s and \u201970s with production outfits like the UK\u2019s Amicus leading the way, but they quickly stumbled after that. Quantity rose, in part because they\u2019re budget-friendly, but quality dipped.

The Canadians were the first to take a stab at Valentine\u2019s Day, producing one of the most gruesome slashers of the decade. <em>My Bloody Valentine<\/em> marries the manufactured greeting card celebration with a Nova Scotian mining aesthetic, and the result is an utterly deranged splash of gore. The killer miner, at the heart of this tale, is a gas-masked tyrant destined to dig a treacherous chasm in your psyche. Whether he dies at the end or not, he will forever be locked in your subconscious, waiting to erupt whenever the lights go out.

In 1983, <strong>David Cronenberg<\/strong>, Toronto\u2019s own king of venereal horror, delivered his take on the classic story of a man who falls headfirst down a conspiracy rabbit hole. Max Renn (<strong>James Woods<\/strong>) is the head of a schlocky TV-station whose interest in exploitation programming leads to a mysterious broadcast where snuff films are only the beginning. <em>Videodrome<\/em> is a shocking and brutally prescient exploration of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> consumption that was as groundbreaking in the \u201980s as it is now, both for its daring narrative and technical prowess.
