Watched DEAD AND BURIED (1981) for the first time last night. Awesome '80s horror! I loved it.
Hot take, Psycho III is the best 80's slasher.

I like PSYCHO III, but PSYCHO II is my favourite of the sequels. Norman is so sympathetic and trying so hard, plus Jerry Goldsmith's score is beautiful and sad.
Psycho II is a really good sequel.

Yeah, II is great as well. You can never go wrong with a Goldsmith score too:

Oh how I love that score. Goldsmith had a way of touching your soul with this one.
I agree with you guys. Psycho II is underrated. 🔪👵
Psycho II is chock-full of suspense and some cool practical fx scenes.
I consider both "Psycho 2" and "Halloween 3" under rated 1980s horror films.

The first one may be the classic, but none of the films capture the Halloween spirit quite like III.

Fun film
Hey Mars!!!
You went AWOL, i was getting worried about you!!! :o
One of my favorite movies from the 80s is Fright Night (1985). I love the horror host in the show Peter Vincent, and how helps Charley defeat the vampires. There's so much nostalgia in the movie for me. I remember watching it on tv in the 80s, probably on HBO, and being so afraid of the vampires, but loving the idea that anyone can fight monsters.

I'm here. Just taking a break.
During Christmas, I watch a ton of holiday movies and tv shows, but nothing (except A Christmas Story) comes close to Christmas Evil (1980). It is my go-to movie this time of year and a kind of a tradition to watch over on https://themonsterchannel.com/.
