Classic Horror Movies

[gideon]

I'm in need to watch some classic horror movies. Not classic as in really old, maybe somewhere along the lines of 70's - 80's.

Why would you pose such an oxymoronic question? Classic films are hardly restricted to those from just a few decades ago. My advice would be to go back to the beginning of talking pictures to see the real horror flicks before they turned into slasher and splatter films.

Well honestly, because I've already seen all the old classic B&W horror films. From the original Universal Monsters to Alfred Hitchcock films. On top of that I've taken a history of film class, so i've seen even more old horror films such as Nosferatu or the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. I want to watch cheesy 80's horror movies! hahaha

Even though it's not technically horror, Highlander should be on that list. No 80s movie list is complete without it.
