Test Your 1980s Horror Movie Queue!


You horror fans proudly brag on how many horror films you've seen. I'm especially talking to you 80s kids that stayed up past your bedtime watching scary films on cable, or sneaking into some R rated horror film with your teen crowd. Well, let us see how you blood splatter aficionados measure up when it comes to your 1980s Horror Movie Queue. It's you comparing your horror movie history with this list of 250 horror films from the 1980s. I created the list recently from an imdb search. But if you go back and check again, the order will probably change. It depends on the voting that day.

And for you 90s Sci-fi fans, I did the same thing with Test Your 1990s Sci-fi Movie Queue, and some people were struggling to make it far down the list.

So just to give you scream junkies a chance, I'll ask you to check off and comment below on the First Three horror films you haven't seen on the list (even partially), starting with 1. The Shining. That should give you a good running start.

And because I know some of you are wondering what my first three stumpers were - 55. Paperhouse, 69. Santa Sangre, 109. The Company Of Wolves. I'm a lot better at my Sci-fi, but I'll have to go back and watch these bloody oldies.
