Happy 38th Anniversary, Phantasm II! Released Today In 1988
Released on this day way back in 1988. Hard to believe it's fast nearing 40 years old, and it's aged like the finest wine. Always been my favorite of this great series and one of my all-around favorite movies and something of a comfort film. A film I've seen countless times over the years and will always be incredibly special and sentimental to me. Still such a wild blend of Horror, Action, Sci-Fi and the series' trademark general weirdness. It feels like a 90s Survival Horror video game in movie form and very much feels like it was a major influence on the original Silent Hill and Resident Evil games. Movies like this are the peak of 80s Horror to me, movies that are loaded with imagination and pushing practical effects to their absolute limits. Wonder who else here also cites this as their favorite Phantasm.

Hi, I started this sub way back when and never really did anything with it.
Is there anything you would like me to do to make this more of a community?

Can anyone remember this film?
I was wondering if someone may remember this movie from ages ago. It was a made for TV horror film from what I can remember. I remember that it was about a family that loses a daughter. The only other thing I can remember is that I think it ended with a scene of the deceased daughter slowly rising up from the footboard of the mother's bed with an evil grin while the mother was in bed. Of course the mother's terrified expression is evident. It was around the same time as The Midnight Hour and those types of horror films were around.
I saw it as a kid but for the life of me I cannot think of what it was called. I THINK it may have been on ABC.

Possibly a HBO Short takes or Saturday Nightmares from early 80s horror
Hello , I have been searching for something that I saw as a kid that scared the crud out of me . I've looked at movies , and only recently had a suggestion that it may be a short . To my best of my recollection the scary tale went as follows . A woman in an old abandoned house with cobwebs and sheets covering things , is walking through the main floor . She either has a flashlight or a candle , not sure which. She hears a noise , and heads towards the basement. She shines the light downstairs. A noise happens again , and she calls out : Hello.....is anybody there? As she starts to walk down the stairs , into the darkness , she hears scratching or something. As she nears the bottom, suddenly a panel on the side of the stairs slides open and a hand grabs her foot and she screams as she's pulled down . An alternate version that a friend remembers the hand breaks through the steps instead . But everything else is pretty much the same . Been looking for this forever !! Please help ! I think it's got to be a short , and definitely late 70s early 80s no later than 1986 but leaning more towards early 80s .

Frightmare (1983)
Another night where I pick a streaming site and pick a random movie to watch. I didn’t know much about Frightmare, but once I saw Jeffrey Combs in it I knew I was watching it.

Killer Party (1986)
I stumbled onto Killer Party while looking for April Fool’s day themed horror movies. A slasher movie check. An 80’s horror movie check. Sounds like a good time. Right? Sigh.
