I was shopping on Amazon.com for DVDs, to my surprise there are a string of movies that are available on DVD that shouldn't be. I remember these movies fondly, as they came on cable repeatedly as a child, and I watched them repeatedly. These movies for a child were scary, but yet entertaining. Tonight my youtube surfing has focused on bad horror b movies of the 1980s.
My first selection, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, I loved this movie, I actually have it somewhere on VHS, as it was so great I recorded it. Note the great acting and special effects:
A great movie with bad premise, bad acting, and death by sex:
These movies were great as well, Ghoulies II, the death by toilet scene, and Critters:
We also have Night of the Creeps:
The Gate:
Not a B-movie, but it was the family friendly horror film, Monster Squad:
Who didn't have a Bop magazine with Ryan Lambert in it? Yall know you watched Kids Incorporated Martika, Fergie, and the other girl from Wild Orchid.
These are bonus clips, as these are more prison movies than horror, but still as trashy and cheesy as the rest:
Reform School Girls
Penitentiary

You've got great taste in 80's horror films!
I rented the Thing for this weekend and Prince of Darkness, some good John Carpeneter 80's!
Let me just say John Carpenter is AWESOME. I own Big Trouble In Little China, Escape from New York, Escape from LA, and Christine. I am such a dork, but those movies were awesome back in the day!!!!
Ooohhhh and don't forget THEY LIVE with Roddy Rod Piper.
I need to netflix Prince of Darkness, I haven't seen that in YEARS.
I HATED Killer Clowns. Of course, clowns in general freak me out. But I just never believed that clowns were smart enough for space explorations (totally irrelevant, I know.)
I saw Killer Klowns at the Castro Theater out here, they had a one night showing of it, amazing!
I've never had the privilege of seeing Killer Klowns on the big screen. I hate that our only historic theaters are owned by a company Mark Cuban owns, so we don't get cool revival movies, except for Woody Allen. I can only do so much Woody Allen. They never do B-movies.
Side note, I completely forgot about C.H.U.D. and Chopping Mall
OMG, I loved Killer Clowns from Outer Space, I used to watch it all the time as a kid. And The Gate, I haven't seen that one in ages. That movie used to scare me, but you bet your behind I was glued to the tv. IM still afraid of my closet because of that movie.
I own C.H.U.D. it fucking rules!
I wonder if CHUD II, Chud The Bud is out on DVD
oops I meant Bud The CHUD
Wow Wild Orchis brings back some memories...

Or what about the Phantasm movies?
