Another brilliant year with two of the best werewolf films ever made (John Landis' is my favourite) and other great genre films but I'd have to go with The Evil Dead is my favourite of all movies that year. Sam Raimi's writing and direction was inspired and the unknown cast included an unlikely icon in Bruce Campbell. The mixture of serious horror and Three Stooges-type knockabout humour works extremely well so, although this is a horror rather than horror-comedy film, there are laughs to be had.
