Night of the Creeps
If you love horror movies and cult classics, then Night of the Creeps is a must-watch. This B-movie combines science fiction and horror with zombies. It was directed by Fred Dekker, who had previously written films such as Monster Squad and House. This is his directorial debut and took just one week to complete.

The characters in this movie are not particularly memorable, but they are sufficient to keep the story moving. The clever kills and scenes are the highlight of the film. The sequel, Creepshow, is also an excellent choice for fans of the original.
Curse of the Demon
The title refers to the occult-inspired story that influenced the movie. The 'Curse of the Demon' is set in fog-choked English countryside and stars Niall McGinnis as an impish Satanic cult leader who summons a huge demon into his followers' nightmares. Jacques Tourneur was an extremely talented director with a low budget, and his films often achieve great results.
The Curse of the Demon was inspired by the short story "Casting the Runes" by M.R. James. It is set in England, and the main character, American psychologist John Holden, travels there to debunk a devil-worshiping cult led by Karswell, who has translated an ancient text. After an encounter with the devil-possessed Karswell, Holden is convinced he is in danger, and he decides to investigate the strange occurrences.
Just Before Dawn
The genre of slashers has seen its fair share of films, and Just Before Dawn is no exception. While it may not have a big budget, it's a fun, creepy romp through the woods that slowly veers towards gore-fest status. The film's climax is a tense showdown between a gang of killers and their victim - a gruesome showdown!
This British film is reminiscent of Danny Boyle's Shallow Grave, but focuses on two teenagers who are dealing with a monster. It is one of the best unknown horror movies of the 80s, and its great performance will leave you begging for more. You'll find yourself thinking about this movie for a long time. And the end is so thrilling!
The Burning
Although it didn't create a hit franchise, The Burning is one of the best unknown slashers from the 1980s. Based on an urban legend, this summer camp horror is full of gore and heartbreak. It stars Holly Hunter and Fisher Stevens in a raucous cast. Tom Savini's realistic makeup effects add to the atmosphere of the film.
The movie explores the idea of mental illness and aging as well as the issue of a mysterious elderly relative who is fading. It also touches on the issue of declining mental faculties. The film's theme, "You are not alone," explores the aging process and the loss of family members. The film's ending is chilling and the premise is intriguing, which makes it one of the best unknown horror films of the 80s.
Videodrome
Cronenberg's video schlock is one of the most grotesque and disturbing of the eighties, and Videodrome is Cronenberg's finest film. It stars James Woods, before he became a far-right Twitter nut, and is pure sleaze. Cronenberg is a master of body horror, and Videodrome is the height of that genre. The film follows a family who spends the winter in a remote hotel. During their stay, a mysterious occurrence takes place, and the father begins to go insane.
While Cronenberg's film is hard to understand, it is more relevant today than it was when it was first released. The film explores the effects of violent entertainment, and Cronenberg explores the social and psychological impact of this mass media. Its atmosphere is eerie and unsettling, and it's a great commentary on the impact of violent entertainment. The soundtrack, by Howard Shore, is also haunting and moving.
