I was born in 1971 and really miss walking into video stores aged 9-10 years old and being able to rent any horror movies i liked. I always remembered the video covers of Happy Birthday To Me, Driller Killer and The Exterminator.
There's a "Death Metal" band named DYING FETUS who put out their new album "Make Them Beg For Death" & the Cover Was Made To Look Like An Old VHS cover Of Some 80s Slasher Movie. It Brings Back Those Same Memories. Go Check It Out.
I'm a late 70s baby but I remember back in the day working at Blockbuster. One of the perks was being able to take home 5 movies for free each week excluding new releases. I saw numerous fun horror movies because of that job. I've actually seen almost all the movies in this video but it gives me 2 new ones to try and seek out and watch.
Thanks for mentioning this - I'd never heard of it! Nice cast; will watch later. Question: IMDb lists it as released in 1991 - was it filmed in '86 and released five years later?
Nothing like an 80’s slasher. The forbidden section of blockbuster in my strict Catholic upbringing 😂 so I will always gravitate towards these lol. Fun fact, Happy Birthday to me starred Melissa Sue Anderson who was well known in the 80s for one of the most wholesome shows ever , Little House on the Prarie so for her to do an R rated horror movie was very controversial back then haha. Great picks!
I'd totally forgotten about the slightly bizarre intro to "Killer Party", and I too was a fan of White Sister, "Happy Birthday To Me" is an 80s classic, great list!
Just found your channel and love your content. Slasher, Universal and Hammer horror are my favorite genres so great to see you covering so many of my favorite movies!
Great list! Killer Party is underrated and so fun! I just wished the Blu-ray had better special features and the movie itself was uncut and not so edited. But still an amazing movie and one of my favs!
I agree. Especially that final act. As a kid that’s something you can’t unsee. I also wish the kills were more on-screen than off. It would’ve made the film more gruesome considering how some characters got killed off.
All of these movies are well known to slasher fans, I doubt anyone who is fan of 80s hasn't seen stuff like Happy Birthday to Me, etc, however I appreciate the video. You can never give exposure to these movies,. Btw, Happy Birthday to Me was indeed directed by J. Lee Thompson, and apparently producers weren't sure if he would accept to direct it as it was horror and he did far more prestigious movies during his career. However turns out he was more then excited to direct it as it was his one and only horror movie at the time and he kept screaming "more blood more blood!" when they were filming kill scenes.
Quick message to thank you for you brilliant channel! so many good recommendations! you passion for movies and horror in particular is contagious and it does come across very clearly in the way you articulate (very well also) your thoughts. Thanks a million for making horror UA-cam better!❤
"Happy Birthday to Me" Melissa Sue Anderson from the television series called "Little House on the Prairie" Glenn Ford from "Superman: The Movie" two actors - Matt Craven & Jack Blum from "Meatballs" I love these actors. I have seen this movie at least 365 times.
Visiting Hours is my number one stand alone 80s slasher. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it, especially if you like hospital settings like in Halloween 2 (a film i love).
I love the 80s, (i was born in 1980) especially for slashers. Before i watch this i'll list my top 10 which aren't part of a big franchise. Hopefully your list might give me a few more to check out. My tops which don't feature the likes of Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger are: 10 Party Line 1988 9 Final Exam 1981 8 Christmas Evil 1980 7 To All A Good Night 1980 6 Pieces 1984 5 Shocker 1989 4 Bloody Birthday 1981 3 Chopping Mall 1986 2 Offerings 1989 1 Visiting Hours 1982
I would really suggest checking out a movie called Fatal Pulse, the full movie can be found on UA-cam. Its never gotten a true blu ray or dvd release for that matter but its fun, its cheesy, its got some menorable kills to it..just a fun 80s slasher to watch
@cobwebschannel I put the link in the reply, other than having Italian subtitles it's dvd quality. I'm hoping it's a movie we eventually get from Vinegar Syndrome
I really like Superstition which was eventually released in England under the name The Witch but I can't find a copy now. Some good picks in your list 😊👍💜🐾
Great picks! I love all of these and have seen each multiple times! I will suggest Evil Spirits. Its on Tubi. Karen Black essentially plays Dorothea Puente and absolutely kills (lol) it! Michael Berryman as a neurotic author, Debra Lamb as a mute ballerina who is obviously not all there and one of the greatest characters in any slasher: an old drunk who survived by being drunk! You need this in your life. Also, Dead Dudes in the House is waaay more entertaining (and brutal) that it has any right to be! Ive got many more suggestions. In fact, i filled two books with it!
x Going to watch Satan's Little Helper and Lowlifes tonight! x I added Edge of the Axe and Visiting Hours to my June Watchlist, very excited to see those!
I remember watching Nightmare Beach back in the day on Up All Night. It was called Welcome to Spring Break though then. Just found your channel and digging the content so far ✌️
Just found your channel and have really been enjoying your videos! I just started getting in to "old movies". When I was younger, I refused to watch them. I've always loved 80's movies but, to me, they aren't old because if they're old, then that means I'm old!😂 Glad to see Superstition on this list!
I would like to add as an honorable mention 1979's Tourist Trap, yes not in the 80's but the late 70's (1977-1979) really shaped the 80's. I mean the movies that started in the late 70's and continued into the 80's and beyond such as Star Wars, Jaws, Halloween, Superman, and Alien just to name a few. Music, how many times have we heard people call Journey, Van Halen, the Pretenders, Prince, Michael Jackson, and the Police as "80's" artist, So check out Tourist Trap too if you haven't seen it
Even with the Scooby Doo reveal at the end, Happy Birthday To Me is one of my all time favorites. I almost squealed like heavily caffeinated child when I found a blu ray from the UK which has both sound tracks, the pop song opening and the scored haunting lullaby versions.
Watched both videos, two great lists. Here are five more that didn't get so much as a mention in either video that might be considered for a volume 3: Motel Hell (1980) He Knows You're Alone (1980) Hell Night (1981) Girls Nite Out (1982) The Final Terror (1983)
Superstition (The Witch) was one of my favorites horror movies growing up in the 80s. Along With The Burning, Children of The Corn, The Boggy Man, Aliens, Halloween II and Amityville II : The Possession 🎬
Thank you for some suggestions, I’m a huge slasher movie fan and it’s very very rare to have movies suggested that I haven’t seen. Between the first video and this one, there were 4 videos I haven’t seen so thank you for your suggestions. I’m gonna watch buried alive now!!!
OMG! I watched Killer Party when i was around 8 yo and I've been looking for that movie for the past 8 maybe 10 years but I didn't know its name till today while I'm watching this video!!! Thank you so much! Btw I'm 40!
I agree with Superstition. The Exorcist III in my opinion is another great supernatural slasher. Night School is a giallo because you got the mystery about who is the killer (who has the same outfit of the killer in “Who have they done to your daughters?” by Massimo Dallamano, 1974), you got the detective investigation. Otherwise we have no difference between a giallo movie and a slasher
Really like and appreciate exposure to new films, so thanks for that - good, well-reasoned reviews too. That said, I'm not sure every horror film released in the 80s automatically classifies as a slasher film, just as every horror film from Italy is not a giallo. For instance: if there's a supernatural element, it's a supernatural thriller. Also, as mentioned in the clip, at least one of these *is* a giallo, which is not the same as a slasher. To the best of my understanding, a slasher film has a pretty narrow definition: multiple body-count, mostly point-of-view stalking murders, usually with some sort of big sharp weapon with an emphasis on gory practical effects, and either an opening setup explanation of the who/what/when/where/why of the killer [sometimes as a red herring], or a third-act scooby-doo unmasking. Some of the films here add up to all that, while others just include one or two of the conventions, and frankly, slashers are never supernatural thrillers, despite how the murder set-pieces play out. Great clip though - really enjoyed it.
Dead and Buried, The Prowler and the underrated Maniac. For good measure, I'll throw in Galaxy of Terror, which features Sid Haig and Robert Englund. Robert also appeared in Dead and Buried.
First list was great. This one is even better because it has more surprises! I don't feel the section 3 nasty Superstition fits comfortably with the slasher subgenre as it's more of a haunted house movie with a body count. I do think it's a fun watch, though! I also agree that Happy Birthday to Me is overlong. I liked the lead, and I liked the dark conclusion, but it's not enough of a payoff, and for a slasher, I found myself really missing a good chase scene. Eyes of a Stranger, on the other hand, has some great suspense scenes. For me it teeters between the slashers proper and such movies as Don't Answer the Phone!, Nightmares in a Damaged Brain, Maniac, and Don't Go in the House, which are kinda-sorta slashery, but study the psyche and everyday life of the antagonist in a way that Halloween, Friday the 13th, The Burning, and House on Sorority Row don't. Finally, I'll say that your enthusiasm about Nightmare Beach has convinced me to give it another go - and Kino is putting out a 4k in July!
The protagonist in ''Happy Birthday to Me'' is played by Melissa Sue Anderson of ''Little House on the Prairie'' fame. Other John Vernon films include ''Animal House'', ''The Outlaw Josie Wales'' and ''I'm Gonna Git You Sucka''.
I've been recomending Killer Party for many years. We used to view it and Night Of The Demons back to back. Ghosthouse is very much like Superstition. Both are fun haunted house type slashers.
Interesting list! I did see Happy Birthday to Me and Visiting Hours back in the day...I'll have to look them up again. I'm glad that you mentioned 10 to Midnight. I first watched it because I really like Lisa Eilbacher as an actress, and I ended up liking the movie.
I'm wondering if the Cobwebs should venture into tv show reviews? I just learned that there was an interesting Friday 13th TV show on HBO in the late 80s I'd never heard of?
I really enjoy this series, which gives someone like me who is new to the love of horror other things to check out besides the more popular ones that are always talked about 😊
It’s not technically 80’s ,(1978) but Wes cravens Summer of Fear is I think free on UA-cam and really good and stars Linda Blair. I think it was even a made for tv movie lol.
Summer of Fear is legit one of my favorite movies. It's really good and very underrated and there is a fantastic Blu-ray available with some awesome commentary from Wes Craven.
Does Superstition have a scene with someone squished in a wine press. It's sounds very similar to something I saw in my teens and all I could recall were witch pond and a wine press.
Just curious, don't you find the lack of any gore in a slasher to be off putting? I was baffled when I watched it and then I found out all the cool effects were cut out
@@imame1433 I don't know how you got that from what I said. I actually hate Eli and think he's an overrated frat boy with no talent. I don't need gore in movie to enjoy it. I like a ton of horror with next to no gore at all including The Changeling, Summer of Fear, and Cat's Eye. What doesn't work for me is when a movie in intended to have gore but it's obviously been cut out. You can tell this movie was hacked up. And for a movie like this, you need a little blood and/or gore. You can feel that it's missing. The kill scenes are super lame. If a movie is meant to be PG or PG-13 it is shot in a way that makes sense. Killer Party for me feels chopped up.
I’ve heard about Superstition for decades …just never have checked it out ….just ordered the blu ray from Grindhouse video …Danza Macabra 3 looks promising also love your reviews …discovering old movies that flew over my radar makes life great
Superstition is available from Scream Factory, Grindhouse Video, and Amazon. I highly recommend the bluray. It looks great and there are some great extras.
You can feel Curtains pulling itself apart. You think you are going to get a well-acted adult, revenge thriller. You then get some teenage slasher. The pieces are there. Some of the set pieces are suspenseful (the prop house chase) others are dramatic {So act for me. Seduce me.) You want to lift the pieces, twist them, rearrange them, jam them together...make the movie fit. But you can't. It's a movie worthy of a remake...a Curtains Call

Awesome, I appreciate it!
You listed a couple I haven't seen. Gonna check them out. Happy bday to me is pretty darn good. Same with curtains.
I'd put Happy Birthday to Me higher personally. So good.
I just watched it recently also, its great.
I'd totally forgotten about the slightly bizarre intro to "Killer Party", and I too was a fan of White Sister, "Happy Birthday To Me" is an 80s classic, great list!
White Sister turned into a band called Tattoo Rodeo. Another great late 80's band. Just throwing it out there.
Just found your channel and love your content. Slasher, Universal and Hammer horror are my favorite genres so great to see you covering so many of my favorite movies!
April by White Sister is such a banger. I want to cover it so badly! Great vid man. Always look forward to watching your content weekly.
A+ video!
Awesome films, 80s slasher movies are so fun to watch especially the best ones!
Always a good day when Daniel drops a new video
😎🤘🏼

Superstition is very underrated.
Its been about 6 years, and UA-cam-er "Drumdums" continues to ignore my requests for him to review it.
"Happy Birthday to Me"
Melissa Sue Anderson from the television series called "Little House on the Prairie"
Glenn Ford from "Superman: The Movie"
two actors - Matt Craven & Jack Blum from "Meatballs"
I love these actors.
I have seen this movie at least 365 times.
In agreement with you regarding Visiting Hours- Lee Grant (Damien: Omen II) & Ironside are great!
I am 62 and was born in 1962 , i graduated high school in 1980. So yeah I have seen these actually im theaters or from blockbuster ❤❤
Tons of homework for me here. Visiting Hours in particular. Thanks, man 10/10 fricheks
Thank you, man!
Visiting Hours is my number one stand alone 80s slasher. It's definitely worth checking out if you haven't seen it, especially if you like hospital settings like in Halloween 2 (a film i love).
Great list! I actually really liked "Curtains," despite its messy presentation. A more interesting plot than your typical slasher flick
Same here!
great list. I have yet to see Superstition and Buried Alive.
Killer Party is my fav of this list for sure
Lynne Griffin starred in Curtains. She was Claire Harrison in Black Christmas 1974 🖤🎄...
I can't help but associate her with Strange Brew. It was the first thing I saw her in, and it aired on HBO 190 billion times throughout the '80s.
Black Christmas '74 is a masterpiece
@@travzimmerman1340 I know, it's the blueprint for everything after... everything 🖤🎄☝️
I love the 80s, (i was born in 1980) especially for slashers. Before i watch this i'll list my top 10 which aren't part of a big franchise. Hopefully your list might give me a few more to check out. My tops which don't feature the likes of Michael Myers or Freddy Krueger are:
10 Party Line 1988
9 Final Exam 1981
8 Christmas Evil 1980
7 To All A Good Night 1980
6 Pieces 1984
5 Shocker 1989
4 Bloody Birthday 1981
3 Chopping Mall 1986
2 Offerings 1989
1 Visiting Hours 1982
Great list. I own Party Line, I just need to watch it! I didn’t even know it was a Slasher.
I hope you enjoy it as much as i did, i only saw it about 3 or 4 weeks ago. It has it's own spin, different to most slashers.
I would really suggest checking out a movie called Fatal Pulse, the full movie can be found on UA-cam. Its never gotten a true blu ray or dvd release for that matter but its fun, its cheesy, its got some menorable kills to it..just a fun 80s slasher to watch

Oh man, agree 100 percent on Superstition. The opening and end are so good, but that middle is a chore to get through!
I love Killer Party and the last 20 min are SO GOOD!
Great list!! You failed to mention the last movie had Lee Remick in it. She's from The Omen.
one of the best horror “hidden gems” list ever. I agree with ALL your picks.
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
I can't believe you rate Night School and Curtains higher than Superstition.
I actually agree with rating plus Curtains premise is unique
Curtains is godawful
Michael Ironside is perfect as a villain, but also is good as a hero!
Another excellent list!
Great list,thank you!
I would like to add as an honorable mention 1979's Tourist Trap, yes not in the 80's but the late 70's (1977-1979) really shaped the 80's.

Definitely a fan of Tourist Trap. Chuck Conners was awesome in it!
@@cobwebschannel Chuck Conners was perfect in that movie
I need to check out some of those, in particular Eyes Of A Stranger.
Looks real good. Gonna seek this one out as well
No one gets walled up in The Black Cat. That was The Cask Of Amontillado.
Thanks brother - lots I've not seen on these last two videos, which is unusual!!!
Even with the Scooby Doo reveal at the end, Happy Birthday To Me is one of my all time favorites. I almost squealed like heavily caffeinated child when I found a blu ray from the UK which has both sound tracks, the pop song opening and the scored haunting lullaby versions.
Happy Birthday to Me felt like a retro made for TV film.
Watched both videos, two great lists. Here are five more that didn't get so much as a mention in either video that might be considered for a volume 3:
Motel Hell (1980)
He Knows You're Alone (1980)
Hell Night (1981)
Girls Nite Out (1982)
The Final Terror (1983)
Nice job. Great watch
Put this channel on Freeview TV as a horror channel it would be great

I love everything about killer party
Wow, another 10 80s horror movies ive never heard of. Some of them do look pretty interesting. Ill be sure to look some of these up down the road.
Great list man. You gave me a few new ones to check out
Stagefright (1987) is a visually impressive movie with a one particularly mesmerizing scene and suspenseful sequence.
Love the content

Lifeforce and... Lifeforce. I know, not technically a slasher, but always worth recommending.

Was made for TV and terrified me as a 10 year old. Watched again last year and I think it still holds up

If a movie is meant to be PG or PG-13 it is shot in a way that makes sense. Killer Party for me feels chopped up.
Nightmare beach is so much fun
Yesss a new video!!!!!!! 🎉😊😊
Burning is one of my favourites
Of 80s one of slasher movies
The synapse of the movies are fine but it would be nice if you would just mention the label who put the movie out 🤘💿🤘
I’ve heard about Superstition for decades …just never have checked it out ….just ordered the blu ray from Grindhouse video …Danza Macabra 3 looks promising also love your reviews …discovering old movies that flew over my radar makes life great
I’m really looking forward to Danza Macabra vol 3. It looks awesome!
Superstition is available from Scream Factory, Grindhouse Video, and Amazon. I highly recommend the bluray. It looks great and there are some great extras.
A lot of great films u mentioned but EDGE OF THE AXE is awesome,I picked it up many yrs back on vhs for a $2 bucks
Was Nightmare Beach also called Welcome To Spring Break?
John Vernon I think is best known as Dean Wormer :)
A great list, most likely I've seen them all in the theater and drive-in.... most of the movies mentioned were female killers, any thoughts?
In the Next video you have to include Luther The Geek. It’s a amazing film
The window kill in superstition isn't actually a window cutting him in half it traps him and the witch hacks at him with a knife..
Some other good slashers are The Lamp aka The Outing. The Dorm That Dripped Blood, X-Ray aka Hospital Massacre
I only caught the 1st one yesterday... or the day before. Now I am very early 🙂
haha Welcome!
How about Humongous
You can feel Curtains pulling itself apart. You think you are going to get a well-acted adult, revenge thriller. You then get some teenage slasher. The pieces are there. Some of the set pieces are suspenseful (the prop house chase) others are dramatic {So act for me. Seduce me.) You want to lift the pieces, twist them, rearrange them, jam them together...make the movie fit. But you can't. It's a movie worthy of a remake...a Curtains Call
