Horror
There is little doubt that contemporary horror flicks completely demolish the horror movies of the 1980's as far as raw fear is concerned, but many of the flicks listed in this section were scary by 1980's standards, like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elm Street. Then there were those 80's horror flicks that were 50% horror and 50% comedy, such as Critters, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, and even Gremlins.
