The 80's I think is where Horror grew up . LEGEND is used so much to discribe people and events . In the feild of horror who I cncider LEGEND in every sence of the word .
John Carpenter The Fog , The Thing , Prince Of Darkness .
James Cameron Terminator , Aliens .
The late great Wes Craven Nightmare On Elm Street.
Clive Barker Hellraiser
Tobe Hopper Salems Lot , Lifeforce , Poltergeist .
George A Romero Day Of The Dead , Creepshow , Monkey Shines .
Also the FX guys who pushed thire art to a new terrifing level that I dont think will ever be surpassed.
C.G.I sometimes lacks soul and is more of a visusal illusion than a gut wrenching heart gripping viseral fear .
Most of our ingraned Movie Monsters from the 80's where the brinchild of 1 genius Mr Stan Winston from The Thing , To Pumpkinhead Alien and Predator .
Bob Bottin , Bob Keen , Tom Savini , Richard Edlund and othes .
Yhea 80's Horror REAL Horror .
