What are some good horror movies from the 80's and 90's?

[The Great Fantastic]

The Stuff
Night of the Demons
Night of the Creeps
Chud 2: Bud the Chud
Ghoulies 2


It's not from the 80's but I would definitely recommend A Bucket of Blood. Made in 1959 and directed by Roger Corman. Great movie.

A newer movie that was damn good was Murder Party. Definitely worth seeing.

Let the Right One In is a Swedish vampire movie that was unbelievable. The Hollywood remake, Let Me In, wasn't near as good. Let the Right One In is available for instant streaming on Netflix.

I can't stand the horror movies that come out these days. It would be great if I could find a few more gems from the vaults!!

That scene in The Raft where the guy starts playing with the sleeping chick's boobs cuz he's like "well we're gonna die anyways" is hilarious.

The En y is a pretty good movie, I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it prior to this thread.

[The Franchise]

This falls under the so bad it's good category.
