The best 80s horror shlock movies deserve a second life

Horror fiends are living in a golden era. Practically every week, a new creature feature, paranormal thriller, or speculative zombie movie hits theaters. Shudder has become the essential home for indie and international horror, but Netflix, HBO Max, and Hulu have thrown their fair share of millions at the genre, too. It’s quite possible a gory vampire romp and a witchy epic will earn Oscar nominations next year.
