anybody got any recommendations? i want something circa 1980, something really stupid and not that scary at all. not a teen horror either, probably something about the spawn of satan or something along those lines. i did think of watching gremlins (thanks jimitheexplorer), but i now think a good horror is what i need.....ideas?

poltergeist
or the amityville horror.
actually, poltergeist is scary as hell.
Amityville Horror's on the telly this week
oh cool
i like the weird pig thing at the window.
though, is it the remake that's on tv?
I think it might be the remake
i just noticed it while flicking through the tv times
ACTUALLY
amityville horror got me thinking of children of the corn. although that might scare me.
candyman, but that's scary too. choices choices...
you can't go wrong with candyman though
or hellraiser? too much?
oh god no.
pinhead scares the hell out of me.
i watched the original stepford wives the other night
sooo creepy. i'd recommend it.
When ur in uk
invest in sky then proceed to zone horror!
i'm rarely in the mood for horror actually!
i'm squeamish, otherwise i would have become a doctor. true story!
Parana
or somat like that is meant to be well funny in a cheesy jaws kinda way... oooo jaws
no idea how to spell that
nasty little fish :(
piranha?
nom nom nom.
that looks more like it
and I love the added nom noms hehe
Leprechaun 1-5
race with the devil
it's more late '70s and is a horror-thriller..
gonna wiki it now :D
American Warewolf In London
now that is a classic... I love that film so much and its got Wolves in it so it must get some points with ya hehe
anymorrreeee?
i can't think of the name of the one that i want to watch.
what's it about?
vague description?
ummm, a child who is called damien i think
and it basically the devil and he tries to kill his mum. about all i can remember. i want something with as little gore as possible. might go for stepford.
oh
the omen
The Omen
thats damien
BRILLIANT.
thank you! now i just have to find it (thanks jesus_son as well) huzzah!
yay
:) enjoy there are quite few of them I think. number one is the best I can remeber though
oh blah, they only have the 2006 one
that will have to do :(
i aint seen that one
Im rubbish at finding films on line too hehe or I would look for ya.
don't do it
hold out for the original
i wanna watch it now though!
plus it has the ginger guy from band of brothers in it (i think) and i <3 him. will report back periodically.
on second thoughts, i think i've seen this and it's shocking...
urgh.
children of the corn it is...
hmm
i'd have gone with stepford wives if i was you.
or pet semetary if you're in the mood for stephen king.
i'm gonna go watch the 70s version of invasion of the bodysnatchers, with donald sutherland and jeff goldblum. can't beat jeff goldblum.
enjoy though, night.
couldn't find stepford wives. humph.
g'night x
would be scary if they remade it in a nu-metal style called
Children of the Korn
that would be horrific,
and not in the gory way.
eeeck indeed
even worse if they turned the k the rong way round aaaauuuurrrrgh!
the stuff of nightmares.
I dunno if I will sleep now :-S
Omen
thats the spawn of satan?
EVIL DEAD
and the puppetmaster series. pure cheese.
evil dead?
that scared me stupid when I tried to watch it a few years back. I think it was a combo of the music, the fact that I couldn't see anything happening and me being generally a bit skittish
hellraiser!
nonononononono
pinhead is terrifying.
it's not 80's
but flight of the living dead/plane dead is amazing. watch it!
Toxic Avenger
is absolutely crap but very funny.
the saturday morning kids cartoon
was pretty good too.
nowt like the film obviously
what about reanimator or something?
or braindead or nightmare on elm street?
man i wish i had gremlins to watch, hmmm.
braindead
is so good
MONSTER SQUAD!

I recommend
the Hammer House of Horror series. The word horror should be used very loosely. I think they're late 70s/early 80s and so very stupid but highly enjoyable.
Was his death an...accident?
No, no
Was he MURDERED?
Ye, yes
Did YOU kill him?
yes
VERY WELL THEN!
That dialog courtesy of a ridiculously stereotypical Indian swami performing a seance in one of the best, or worst, scenes
necromantic
^
but if one more person comes up to tell me they like the nekromanitx when i am wearing my nekromantik t-shirt i will just scream
the following:
club dread (american pie meets scream meets total shit film)
dead and breakfast (zombies meets country music)
spring to mind (i don't really have much of a mind but they're definitely both NOT circa 1980 - sorry! The latter could be though)
basket case

see if you can find 'Raging Angels'
soft rock stars vs badly superimposed demons ftw.
wizard of gore
clearly this is the best answer. juno loved it. i love it. nothing is more cheesy than it. herschell gordon lewis is the man (see also gore gore girls, which is fabulous, and colour me blood red)
alternatively, watch IT'S ALIVE - demon babies, it is THE horror movie, i'm not kidding
http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1189/1430093443_fb45c9f923.jpg?v=0
then you can also watch the 2 sequels and love the fact that in number 3 there is an island of those little demon baby bastards. pure movie bliss.
good call from whoever said reanimator as well. jeffrey combs said i was cool once, that was a 9 out of 10 moment for me
x
Warlock
it has Richard E Grant in it and everything
