The Fog (1980)
John Carpenter's brilliant chiller plays with our innermost fears of the dark, delivering shock after shock as ghosts terrorize a sleepy Californian coastal town. from the opening moments and John Houseman's unsettling camp fire tale the film grabs you and never lets go. It's easy to overuse these words when it comes to horror movies but
chilling, scary, creepy, spooky and
atmospheric sum up
The Fog perfectly. A stone cold classic and one of my favourite horror films of all time.
Pumpkinhead (1988)
Stan Winston's terrific morality tale of a demon resurrected from hell by a witch to carry out vengeance is a horror classic that is often overlooked when it comes to 80's horror. Supremely atmospheric with fairytale like qualities and one of the greatest creature designs ever,
Pumpkinhead is must see October viewing.
