Although the Slasher Age bloomed after Halloween (1978) in the first half of the 1980s, the sub-genre’s seeds were planted as far back as Psycho (1960) and blossomed with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and Black Christmas (1974.) In a typical slasher film, a killer stalks and murders its victims one by one. Included in the subgenre are splatter films and psychological horror films. Notable movies from the “golden age” of slasher films (1978-1984) include:
Halloween (1978)
When a Stranger Calls (1979)
Friday the 13th (1980)
My Bloody Valentine (1981)
The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)
Psycho II (1983)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
1980s horror was about more than just slasher films, though. Traditional monsters were updated for an era that experienced an increase in film violence and gore. Ghost, vampire, and werewolf stories were delivered in new, influential ways and some classic original stories were made relevant decades after they were created:
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
The Blob (1988)
The Bride (1985)
The Changeling (1980)
The Company of Wolves (1984)
The Fly (1986)
The Fog (1980)
The Howling (1981)
The Hunger (1983)
Lifeforce (1985)
Near Dark (1987)
Nosferatu the Vampire (1979)
Poltergeist (1982)
The Thing (1982)
Wolfen (1981)
Author Stephen King was at the height of his popularity in the Slasher Age and many of his novels and short stories were adapted for the big screen:
Cat’s Eye (1985)
Children of the Corn (1984)
Christine (1983)
Creepshow (1982)
Cujo (1982)
The Dead Zone (1985)
Firestarter (1984)
Graveyard Shift (1990)
Maximum Overdrive (1986)
Misery (1990)
Pet Sematary (1989)
The Running Man (1987)
The Shining (1980)
Silver Bullet (1985)
Sometimes They Come Back (1991)
Not as prolific as King, Clive Barker nevertheless rose in the 1980s by writing and directing his unique brand of horror:
Underworld (1986), writer
Rawhead Rex (1986), writer
Hellraiser (1987), writer-director
Nightbreed (1990), writer-director
Directors that made a name for themselves with horror films in the 1970s continued in the genre while some entered the arena for the first time. Some would eventually make a transition to non-genre films during the decade:
David Cronenberg, Videodrome (1983)
Joe Dante, Gremlins (1984)
Brian DePalma, Dressed to Kill (1980)
Sam Raimi, The Evil Dead (1981)
George A. Romero, Day of the Dead (1985)
Ridley Scott, Alien (1979)
Euro Horror maintained its presence during the 1980’s; however, the output and quality seemed to diminish. Some of the best-known films include:
Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Ruggero Deodato
Inferno (1980), Dario Argento
City of the Living Dead (1980), Lucio Fulci
The Beyond (1981), Lucio Fulci
Tenebrae (1982), Dario Argento
Demons (1985), Lamberto Bava
Opera (1987), Dario Argento
The Vanishing (1988), George Sluizer
The Church (1989), Michele Soavi
Perhaps as slasher films quickly became parodies of themselves, horror films of the 1980s injected a healthy dose of humor. Several films were outright spoofs, while others might today be considered “horror comedies:”
April Fool’s Day (1986)
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (1988)
Fright Night (1985)
Ghostbusters (1984)
Hysterical (1983)
Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
National Lampoon’s Class Reunion (1982)
The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Student Bodies (1981)
Teen Wolf (1985)
The Witches of Eastwick (1987)
Finally, no analysis of the Slasher Age would be complete without mentioning home video. The popularity of Blockbuster Video and other regional video rental chains exploded in the 1980s, making many of these films, as well as a new batch of straight-to-VHS (and eventually DVD) movies, available to wider audiences for the first time. Without the access these stores granted, the future of horror might have experienced a very different fate.555 (1988)
