Is there any decade that has treated the horror genre better than the 1980s? We saw the rise of villains like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers, as they became pop cultural icons that still haven’t been matched. And A-Listers like Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Kevin Bacon, Johnny Depp, and Tom Hanks all got their start in various horror films. It’s the genre that keeps on giving. We think back on the decade fondly and wanted to put it all down in video form. And to memorialize how great the 80s were to horror, we’re taking a look back on each individual year with our series, 80s Horror Memories!
Our fourth episode of our ’80s Horror Memories series encompasses the year 1983. This year, we’re taking a deep dive into the movies based on Stephen King’s novels, with multiplexes packed with adaptations of his work, like Cujo, The Dead Zone and Christine. We’ll also dip into the first true legacy sequel, Psycho II, Sleepaway Camp, and we’ll also look at some horror anthology shows from the era, including Freddy’s Nightmares, Amazing Stories and more! We’ll be getting into how they influenced us and why they were such an essential part of the genre in this decade that we love so much. We’ve got interviews from like Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw), Doug Jones (The Shape of Water), Greg Nicotero and more as they give their thoughts on these wonderful movies from 1983 and some of their own memories of them. And, as with all of these episodes, you can hear my voice as I was lucky enough to serve as the narrator on this series.
So, put on your nostalgia hat and join us as we stroll down Horror Memory Lane with 10 weekly episodes (dropping every Friday on our JoBlo Horror YouTube Channel), each one at least an hour long—and all in glorious 4K! Be sure to check back in next Friday as we cover 1984!
