I recently just joined this site. I was a big poster on old-IMDB, this site is really helping me pass the time. And horror is my most favorite genre. I was born in the 80s so everything that decade is my bread and butter.

Also, I saved all of my recommendation posts from that time. Ain't notepads heaven? Ha.

I'll recommend movies not yet mentioned above, for other horror fans. I love and agree with all of the other recommendations. Sorry if I repeat any one movie again. Keep in mind, some of these are also thrillers or comedic-horrors etc. To horror!

Find a deep cave to hide in. In a million years, they'll find me. Only dust, and a plaque that reads: 'Here Lies Poor Old Jack'."
