Everyone remembers An American Werewolf in London and the Howling series. I will never forget the transformation scenes in the both these movies. They were really scary to me as a kid. The special effects were creepy, even more so than today's computer generated scenes. Time lapse photography tricks and latex and rubber effects were at their pinnacle. There were also a lot of other Werewolf movies produced in the 1980's, some were blatant rip offs of these two and others were very original. Some were good and some were bad but I'll let you be the judge of that. Below is a list of all the werewolf movies of the 1980's listed in chronological order.

Just had to share this great montage from From MoviePalaceOfBlood .
A tribute to the era of horror movies on VHS, which is how many first discovered a lot of movies, and the great box art that often led people to watch a certain movie. Covers and artwork chosen for their look, style, creativity, iconic status, and sentimental value. In most cases the image of what the actual VHS cases looked like have been used. However, for very few titles I had to use a better looking poster image near-identical to it's original VHS cover, as there was a lack of good sized quality images that were actually the VHS covers.

Obscure and forgotten are my favorite kinds of 80s Horror Movies! Just when I think I've seen them all along comes one I've never heard of. Here's some you may have never heard of. In no particular order..
1. Society (1989)
There's something different about teenager Bill, or is it everyone around him? Beverly Hills upper crust is into some very weird and disturbing stuff. Society is very reminiscent of a Lovecraft movie along the lines of From Beyond or The Re Animator. There are some really creepy scenes and special effects, be sure to look for the "butt-head" scene.
2. JUST BEFORE DAWN (1981)
Five teens in the woods stalked by a machete wielding manic. Well done slasher with a good plot twist.
3. The Hand (1981)
Michael Caine is a comic illustrator pursued by his own severed hand that kills anyone that angers him. It lives. It crawls. And suddenly, it kills.
4. Terrorvision (1986)
A family's new satellite TV system starts receiving signals from another planet, and soon it becomes the passageway to an alien world.
5. The Deadly Spawn (1983)
Alien creatures invade a small town and a group of teenagers, and a little boy, try to escape from them.
