If the '70s transformed horror, then the '80s was the decade when the genre really came into its own. Although many fans have a soft spot for slasher movies, the '80s also birthed iconic monsters, brought body horror to gooey new heights, and sparked a new subgenre: the splatter comedy.

The decade produced some of the most iconic slasher villains of all time, and introduced a slew of cult classics built on practical effects alone. To this day, directors still pay homage to films of this decade easily categorizing it cinema's Golden Age of Horror.
