I know this was from a few pages ago, but I thought I was the only one who had ever heard of this movie. I watched it a million times as a kid and it scared the poo poo out of me every one of them. I haven't seen it in forever but I still remember NAREK.

Going to go find it now.

i caught this on tv when i was younger i'm pretty sure it was also technically a disney movie

BUT HEY, I'M BIG IN JAPAN!
I know that The Shining is a better film, but I still pick The Thing. I can watch The Thing at any time and finish it. I have to make an effort to make it through all of The Shining. It's just too much of a slow burn.

I'm just not ready for that kind of a commitment The Shining. Listen, I've already told you, after things get better financially, I'll be able to take that next step. No, me and John Carpenter's The Thing are just friends. She just goes to the same gym I go to. No, you're perfect- with your two hour and twenty-six minute run time baby. Listen, you're being paranoid. Let's just go to sleep and talk about it in the morning.

OF COURSE SHE'S NOT MORE FUN THAN YOU!

This movie has only 2 good scenes. One, where the chick is pissing, vomiting on herself in the metro.
Two, where she's having sex with that thing. The rest is boring and arty.

If you get this you are cool.

Somebody already quoted the "Where the red dot goes, ya bang" line, so I'll share this:

Last year I saw a 60's garage rock band called The Sloths play at a tiny tiki bar in Alameda, CA. It just so happened that the lead singer had directed Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives, which was my favorite in the series as a kid. Anyway, he had a festive Lux Interior/ Iggy Pop performance style which was pretty impressive considering he's a 60-something-year-old man. I would recommend seeing The Sloths if they play at a tiki bar near you.

This is a decent flick and very 80s. But for an even better horror movie which was even more 80s:
"The Gate" (1987).

From having a party while your parents are gone, to rock-and-roll, to devil worship, this movie is so 80s that it's wearing leg warmers.

Another sweet 80's movie about the evils of heavy metal is "Trick or Treat," where an unpopular high school metalhead (played by "Skippy" from Family Ties) gets a record from his DJ friend (Gene Simmons) and plays it backwards. Obviously, this summons the spirit of his favorite dead rock star, who promptly goes on a vengeful rampage against Skippy's enemies, at one point screaming, "No false metal!" As an added bonus, Ozzy Osbourne has a brief cameo as a televangelist.

Also, Hard Rock Zombies is a true classic that has to be seen to be believed.

80's horror movies and terrible heavy metal are soul-mates.

I would absolutely see them if I had the chance! I met Tom and his wife at a horror convention here in Cincinnati a few years ago and they were both wonderful people. They chatted with me and my wife for about 10 minutes and I got a poster signed and personalized. Also signed by Thom Mathews - the earring story was real and he still has it, and David Kagen - who was really happy to have someone at his table to talk to.

My personal favorite horror movie from the 80s is Night Breed but I'm a bit of an odd bird. For instance, I unironically think this is the best post I've ever seen on the forums:

Meh, it's okay for a F13. There's really nothing in it other than the filmmakers sayso that it's a prequel. It's jason stabbing horny teens, it's hard to mess up. There's a weird running plot of Jason killing people trying to get his pot too.

Also, early on we see why some low budget companies (like Troma) have a policy of shooting the nudity first in case they need to replace the actors before they use them elsewhere. Instead this woman gets a ridiculous, extremely fake looking prostetic chest piece she shows off.

In that order. Honorable mention to Tetsuo, The Iron Man, even if there were plenty movies that were probably technically better like Exorcist, Poltergeist, The Fog, Creepshow, Evil Dead, Reanimator, etc.

E: And BTW Eraserhead was 1977.
