80s horror characters

While both killers wear masks, Leatherface has constructed his out of the skin of his victims as opposed to having stolen it from a hardware store. The original Halloween premiered in 1978, but the masked killer took center stage in three sequels in the '80s, making it his most popular decade. Additionally, it was his films in the '80s that filled in his backstory and explained the motivations behind his murders. Let us know all your thoughts in the comments as always. well if u don't put jason in there u being a noob jason is awsome and kicked freddys ass in Freddy vs. Jason.jason is so freaking extream why the hell didn't u put jason in there hes like one of the best super villans dude cmon put jason in there serisly. Pinhead also marks the only villain who could be consciously summoned to confront a future victim, whereas all the other killers' victims spend much of their time running away from the murderers. I had to look at the pictures to make sure!!! Dating back to the early days of cinema, the world of horror has delivered audiences some of the most memorable and recognizable characters in pop culture. In his own right, there isn't much to the killer's personality, as he typically just acts out whatever orders administered by his disturbed family. Miles Creighton of Wes Craven's Chiller is a good movie also. After the soul of a murderer gets trapped inside a seemingly harmless doll, all hell breaks loose as that doll kills those who mock the toy's physical shortcomings. The films could take place in the past, the future or even in outer space, but none of the characters could ever escape Pinhead. As far as monsters in the closet and the such that children are afraid of, I'd have to list Freddy as one of the things that I was convinced was going to get me in the middle of the night. Great piece. Was the film a masterpiece? The Mistress of the Dark might not be deadly, but the '80s helped her establish a legacy that has yet to be topped by any other horror host. I think it put Freddy back the way he was after the abomination that was "New Nightmare". That would have been horrible. The Goonies is one of the great kids’ adventure films, and Chunk is definitely the character that everyone remembers instantly when they think of this film – everyone knows the Truffle Shuffle! Peterson gave Elvira a Valley girl personality, along with a morbid sense of humor, which was paired with an incredibly tight, low-cut gown and beehive hairdo that shared a resemblance with '50s horror host Vampira. That, and Freddy was a creative guy. It didn't seem like there was much of a reason for either of them. Not only does it end much better than the movie (it has the original scripted ending), but you get to experience Freddy and Jason's points of view. It's not a great horror novel by far, but it does the villains far better justice than the movie and gives you some insight into Freddy and Jason the movies never could. But I understand the desire to dislike newer versions of old characters. And where's Micheal Myers, considering it was the Halloween series that invented the horror slasher genre? Michael Keaton is one of the great character actors of his generation and Beetlejuice one of his greatest roles! sue me to hell too. But what gives with Jason and Michael Myers they should have been on the list. Miles Creighton of Wes Craven's Chiller is a ominous character also. It looks like it'll give a better background and description of the Myers Family and what went on in it.) Jason might not have been the killer of the first Friday the 13th and he might not have gotten his iconic hockey mask until the third film, but with eight entries into his franchise debuting throughout the decade, the killer helped define the genre. When you think of 80s horror you can’t help but think of A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Robert Englund’s Freddy Krueger… Arnold Schwarzenegger is another actor who has played some very memorable roles, but with The Terminator he managed to own the screen and had one iconic line that has gone down in history, “I’ll be back”! Every decade has had its own list of characters making it in to movie history, but the 80s were definitely jam-packed with some of the best! yeah those movies hitcher and runaway was'nt consider scary movies. Not bad, but you forgot about Jason Voorhees and Pinhead. Eddie Murphy has played some fantastic roles in his time, but Axel Foley is definitely his most instantly recognisable and was a character totally full of personality and humour. The '80s may have been big for Michael, but none of his films released that decade compared to the quality of the original, forcing a pioneer in the slasher world to take a backseat to other up and coming killers. Sorry, didn't see horror in the title. You can even write your own. What Chucky lacked in stature he made up for with terrible puns and a sadistic sense of humor, immediately making him a memorable killer of the '80s, even if he didn't get a sequel until 1990. (Though I am looking forward to seeing Rob Zombie's 'Halloween'. Just say his name three times and the Ghost with the Most will appear, causing all sorts of mischief and mayhem! Travelling makes mind open for more new things and will definitely improve scope of work, you forgot jason you basterd never go swimming agen dude cus hill come trust me. There are some great gangster movies out there, but only Al Pacino can capture the imagination in the way he did with Tony Montana in Scarface, one of the most iconic gangsters in movie history. The doll is so charming that last year saw the release of the seventh film in the series, Cult of Chucky, which each installment being written by Don Mancini, a feat most other franchises never achieved. I recommend it. While slashers peaked in the decade and flooded the market, the '90s saw a steep decline in not just the amount of horror icons, but also in the success of the previous decade's notable killers. It wouldn't be until the '80s that any horror character dominated the pop culture landscape, yet in 10 short years, audiences grew to love characters known for their murderous methods. He was fun to watch and funny in the later movies. micheal myers isnt on here cuz halloween was made in the 70s read the title it says 80s horror villains, I liked Freddy vs Jason also. But it wasn't nearly as bad as some make it out to be. Which of these characters were your favourite? Much like the Hellraiser series, Freddy wasn't necessarily hindered to one location or setting, as his realm was the dreams of residents in the town that killed him. The '50s and '60s leaned more heavily on real-world fears, tapping into a variety of science fiction themes than monsters that audiences had grown familiar with. The Good: You are so right--Freddy vs. Jason ruined the series, A side note: I found the novelization of the book unique. Elvira inspired a wide line of merchandise, pinball machines, comic books and even feature films. All rights reserved. While Myers may be scary due to his sneaking silence, Leatherface makes his presence well-known, due in large part to the horrifying sound of his weapon of choice. You could even add Pamela Voorhees as well. Which have left the biggest impression on you over the years? Personally, Jason and Micheal Myers were... boring. With Jason dying as a little boy because camp counselors were too busy fornicating, Jason aimed to prevent that mistake ever being repeated by killing coeds who recklessly imbibed in drugs, alcohol or sex. If you notice the little subtle things, the angles, the shots, you can tell they really tried to make it feel like a Nightmare movie AND a Jason movie. Yippee Ki-ay! There were also some amazing films, made even better by the iconic characters contained within. Sadly, it was Michael's motivations that completely destroyed the allure of the character, as the original film and it's vague explanations allowed audiences to fill in their own justifications, striking fear into the hearts of anyone who ever got an uncomfortable feeling from someone around town. Krueger combined the best of many of the other icons, as he was humorous like Chucky, ambitious in his methods of execution like Pinhead and unstoppable like Jason Voorhees, all rolled into one. Debuting in 1984, Freddy Krueger appeared in five films in the '80s, in addition to inspiring his own TV show, Freddy's Nightmares, in 1988. Here are some of the best and now iconic movie villains and monsters. One of the great characters on the list, with a fantastic personality that everyone can relate to on some level. Similar to Michael Myers, Leatherface debuted in the '70s with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, but didn't officially solidify his status as a recurring killer until 1986's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The joy of the Hellraiser franchise is their unpredictability, compared to many of the other franchises being nothing more than elaborate games of cat-and-mouse. - January 24, 2018 09:01 pm EST. Dude, if you were going to do 80's horror villians, how could you not put Jason in here? No, it wasn't, especially for a film that was in development for nearly 10 years. The 80s were full of memorable clothes, hairstyles and music, with big personalities and bright, colourful characters.
