Alien: The Director's Cut (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1979]
1.  Alien: The Director's Cut (Two Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1979] DVD ~ Sigourney Weaver
The list author says:
  "A triumph of art direction, set design, and special effects. It gains much of its impact from the contrast between the clinical spaceship interiors and the biomechanical horror of the alien."

Dawn of the Dead [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
2.  Dawn of the Dead [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ David Emge
The list author says:
  "As socially relevant as it is terrifying and tense, this is THE zombie movie to end it all. This is Romero on top form with Dario argento as co-producer. A perfectly gory swansong to the seventies."
Used & New from: £13.64

Zombie 2 [DVD] [1979] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
3.  Zombie 2 [DVD] [1979] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Lucio Fulci
The list author says:
  "The slightly simplistic plot and acting doesn't detract from the frenetic and audacious action (zombie vs. shark!). Jarringly explicit gore and typical Fulci stylishness."
Used & New from: £9.95
3.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (49 customer reviews)

Cannibal Holocaust [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
4.  Cannibal Holocaust [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Robert Kerman
The list author says:
  "An honest and flawed film that was ahead of it's time in it's savage satire of reality documentaries and the hypocrisy of the "civilised" world."
Used & New from: £12.00

5.  Friday the 13th [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Harry Crosby
The list author says:
  "A tad overrated but delivers everything that it promises with style and gusto. Has some very creative gore and a great finale."

Beyond [DVD] [1981] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
6.  Beyond [DVD] [1981] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Warbeck
The list author says:
  "Fulci himself said "My idea was to make an absolute film...Its a plotless film, there's no logic to it, just a succession of images". Theres no denying the intense imagery and eerie feelings."
Used & New from: £20.00

Changeling [DVD] [1979] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
7.  Changeling [DVD] [1979] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ George C. Scott
The list author says:
  "A sadly forgotten film outside of genre afficionados that is an accomplished ghost story in the classic tradition. It masterfully manipulates the audience with great direction and acting."
Used & New from: £2.93
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (43 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition) [DVD] [1982]
8.  Poltergeist (25th Anniversary Edition) [DVD] [1982] DVD ~ Craig T Nelson
The list author says:
  "Tobe Hooper's exploitation horror style and Spielberg's blockbusting rollercoaster sensibilities combine to great effect, helped by some astounding ILM special effects and convincing performances."
£4.70   Used & New from: £2.54
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (65 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

The Shining (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1980]
9.  The Shining (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [1980] DVD ~ Jack Nicholson
The list author says:
  "Undoubtedly one of Kubrick's masterpieces. It's to his credit that this film is still scary despite not really having any really jumpy moments. It just builds and builds to it's majestic climax."
Used & New from: £8.98
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (133 customer reviews) | 4 customer discussions

An American Werewolf in London [Special Edition] [DVD]
10.  An American Werewolf in London [Special Edition] [DVD] DVD ~ David Naughton
The list author says:
  "One of the best films (horror or otherwise) of the eighties. The ascerbic comedy only serves to make the horrific moments even more effective. The first film to win an oscar for best make-up too."
£9.99   Used & New from: £0.41
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (61 customer reviews)

Howling [DVD] [1981] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
11.  Howling [DVD] [1981] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Dee Wallace
The list author says:
  "Joe Dante is clearly a massive fan at heart and this shows in many references to the horror canon. Along with the previous film this particular year produced two of the best werewolf movies to date."
Used & New from: £3.07

Evil Dead [DVD] [1982] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
12.  Evil Dead [DVD] [1982] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Campbell
The list author says:
  "There's nothing i can really say that hasn't been already said. A legendary lesson in no-budget film making whose reputation precedes it."
Used & New from: £3.83

Thing [DVD] [1982] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
13.  Thing [DVD] [1982] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Kurt Russell
The list author says:
  "A taught study in paranoia that is gruesome, clever, fast and exciting. It has some of the most convulsive special effects i've seen that put today's CGI creations to shame. Carpenter's best."
Used & New from: £1.98

Videodrome [DVD] [1983] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
14.  Videodrome [DVD] [1983] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ James Woods
The list author says:
  "Arguably the high watermark of his career as he would never be allowed complete free reign like this again. David Cronenberg's creative juices are fully flowing (literally) in this grotesque picture."
Used & New from: £3.99

Nightmare on Elm Street [DVD] [1984] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
15.  Nightmare on Elm Street [DVD] [1984] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Heather Langenkamp
The list author says:
  "The inspirational use of dreams as Krueger's metaphorical playground make this film even more worrying as the horror infiltrates the characters personal space like no other movie before or since."
Used & New from: £2.80

Re-Animator [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
16.  Re-Animator [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Jeffrey Combs
The list author says:
  "Grand Guignol that is horrific and hilarious in equal measure, mainly due to the memorable effects and a crazed Jeffrey Combs. This was the antidote to the plethora of derivative slashers back then."
Used & New from: £22.23
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

Return of the Living Dead [DVD] [1985] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
17.  Return of the Living Dead [DVD] [1985] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Clu Gulager
The list author says:
  "This film is a loving blend of Splatter/50's Horror/Punk/Comedy that is so eighties it hurts (in a good way). It also has the first apperance of the controversial fast moving zombie...Brrraaainns!"
Used & New from: £7.51

Demons (Special Edition Box Set) [DVD] [1987]
18.  Demons (Special Edition Box Set) [DVD] [1987] DVD ~ Urbano Barberini
The list author says:
  "My favourite 'kitchen sink' film. Don't even try to make sense of the blood, pus, motorbikes, cocaine, throat/scalp removal, helicopters and Germans. Aaah those crazy Italians..."

From Beyond [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
19.  From Beyond [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Jeffrey Combs
The list author says:
  "A relentless and outrageous film in every sense. It also employed 3 different effects teams, all clearly trying to outdo each other. That alone should make you seek out this cult favourite."
Used & New from: £23.50

Day of Dead [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
20.  Day of Dead [DVD] [1986] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Lori Cardille
The list author says:
  "The dark horse of the trilogy is the bleakest, sickest and most complex. It is as different to the first two as they were to each other. Tom Savini surpasses himself, pulling out all the gory stops."
Used & New from: £3.40

The Fly [1986] [Cinema Reserve Edition] [DVD]
21.  The Fly [1986] [Cinema Reserve Edition] [DVD] DVD ~ Jeff Goldblum
The list author says:
  "This is how remakes should be done. Horrific visuals that stand the test of time meld with tragic characterisation to create a genre classic that should not be missed."
Used & New from: £11.94

22.  Evil Dead 2 [DVD] [1987] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Bruce Campbell
The list author says:
  "Few sequels surpass the original like this does. It burst with creativity, humour, gore and is topped by Bruce Campbell's demented heroics and stooge theatrics."
Used & New from: £3.24

Near Dark [DVD] [1988] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
23.  Near Dark [DVD] [1988] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Adrian Pasdar
The list author says:
  "This refreshing take on vampirism plays like a more serious and mature alternative to "The Lost Boys" with its stylish mix of horror, romance and western conventions."

24.  Hellraiser: 20th Anniversary Edition [DVD] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Andrew Robinson
The list author says:
  "Despite being undeniably flawed there is much to recommend. Iconic make-up and costume design enhance this highly stylised, surreal & masochistic movie."

Angel Heart - Special Edition [DVD]
25.  Angel Heart - Special Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Angel Heart
The list author says:
  "Noir style thriller that is one of the few movies to successfully capture the primal nature of voodoo and the atmosphere of New Orleans. Another personal favourite."
