1987 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?
Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1987 is...
Hellraiser - Clive Barker
Pinhead's first outing is my top pick of 1987. Not only because it spawned one of the most legendary characters in horror film history (as well as a mass of sub-par sequels), but also because it is a masterpiece of macabre, and definitely one of Barker's best creations of all time.
