Best 80's Horror Films?

In my opinion the 80's was a decade like no other for great horror. From Nightmare on Elm Street to Evil Dead the list of 5 star horror movies is a mile long. What are your favorites?

How about The Gate and House?? Hellraiser and AWIL. The Fly and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. Those are some oldies, but goodies.

I'm not a fan of most 80s horror flicks but one that I really enjoyed and hasn't been mentioned is Night of the Creeps.

Lots of great movies listed here, and I agree with all of them.I also loved Monster Squad, Puppet Master, The Thing, Return of the Living Dead, Bloodstone, Warlock, etc...

And of course ANY of the Halloween, NOES, or Friday films.
