As the man behind the MovieFrightFare Ghoul-cam, I'm happy to report that the Ghouliest One is back, this time with a special guest on hand to help him pay tribute to another unforgettable 10 years of terror! Even though our favorite horror host doesn't mention one of my personal favorites from the era, he's got plenty of malevolent morsels for fear fans to pore over:
[...] romp through kid-themed fright flicks (with two very special guest stars), you need only click Pieces of Terror-ific Trivia, House of Terror-ific Trivia, or Ghouly Kids, and the malevolent mirth can continue! [...]
[...] the Terrifying Thirties, the Frightening Forties, the Fearsome Fifties, the Scaresome Sixties, and the Eerie Eighties. Make sure you survey them all! In the meantime, let's get down to some seriously scary [...]
Howdy again I'll add a few of my favorites not mentioned:
Fright Night (1985) was one of my favorite vampire flicks from the 1980s. I personnally liked it better than THE LOST BOYS (which I saw before opening night in a sneak preview).
The Boxer's Omen (1983: Hong Kong): I highly recommend this gross fest from the Shaw Brothers given your tastes
. While I haven't seen Seeding of a Ghost (1983: Hong Kong) I have heard it is much the same and both are during the waning days of the Shaw Brothers.
Mr. Vampire (1985: Hong Kong): While I have a much longer review of this it is part of my top 50 HK list. This film started a series of "hopping vampires" and is easily one of the best of that genre.
Spooky Encounters (1980: Hong Kong): What is not to love by this spooky action adventure with Sammo Hung. Also part of my top 50 HK list
.
And of course Angel Heart
. I have seen that film a bit too many times and yes it is derivative of Mr. Arkadian, but with a certain twist. Still hate chickens.
Thanks for the list! I may have to check out "The Boxer's Omen" right away. We actually have a little nod to "Mr. Vampire" coming up soon when Ghouly returns with a "ghoulash" of other classics.
