The 1980’s was definitely a decade cult film phenomena. The horror movies of the 80’s have set the trend for horror movie production up through this present time. Nightmare on Elm Street was a great series of horror movies. Freddy Krueger was the star villain of Nightmare on Elm Street. He was a man that terrorized the children in a small town. He was burned alive and the parents of the terrorized children watched him burn. Freddy’s got revenge by returning to the dreams of the teenagers in the town and killing them in their sleep.
Freddy Kruger used some pretty creative ways to kill the kids in their dreams. Johnny Depp actually starred in one of the earlier movies of Nightmare on Elm Street. The horror film franchise made a lot of money. A lot Mens Halloween costumes came forth from the birth of Nightmare on Elm Street. Whenever Freddy was killed in one movie, he would come back to life in the next movie through some crazy and insane ways. For instance in the beginning of Nightmare on Elm Street 4 a few kids get pulled into each other dreams and they all end up in a junkyard. A character by the name of Kinkaid had a dog, and his dog was in the dream with him. The dog finds his way to where Freddy is buried underground. The dog pees out fire and the camera gets a close up of Freddy’s skeleton and you can see all the muscles, tendons, and flesh form on the skeleton and Freddy is ready to begin another crazy killing streak. Freddy Krueger is one of the most popular mens Halloween costumes of all time.
Another favored horror movie is Pumpkinhead. In the movie Pumpkinhead, a man’s little boy was killed by a group of kids driving their motorbikes recklessly. The man wanted revenge for his son’s death. Pumpkinhead is a creature who can be conjured up by seeking a witch, but the price to pay is your soul (Evil Laughing). Pumpkinhead was a deformed boy who was killed by some mean kids; his mother whom is the witch, buried him. The man took his dead decaying boy’s body to the witch and she performed a spell to conjure up Pumpkinhead. He stands at 7”1 and he is one mean son of a gun. The man loses control of the demon and the demon starts killing at random. The demon had long arms razor sharp finger nails and protruding teeth. The only way the man was able to stop the demon was by killing himself. The demon killed one person by impaling him, lifting him like a ragdoll.
There are two words that speak for the next famed 80’s horror movie, “Michael Myers.” Michael Myers was a deranged killer who did not speak and he wore a mask. The movie is called Halloween. Michael Myers hacked and slashed his victims that tried to run away from him. The funny thing is, all he did was walk, and he never ran and still was able to catch his victims. There are many mens Halloween costumes that people wore from the movie Halloween. In the later 2000’s Rob Zombie remade the movie Halloween and it is truly a great film, it shows Michael Myers as a little boy growing up into adulthood. Anyone that loves horror movies knows that there are no horror movies like horror movies of the 80’s.
