First watch - End of the Line (2007) Pretty good religious/cult Purge-like movie set in the subways of Canada. It makes good use of its low budget and has some good gore so it makes it on to The Gore Guide list. . . . #lowbudget #monsters #horrorfamily #horrorfam #mutantfam

I think this is one of the craziest live shows I have seen The Chariot - Live in Plan B, Moscow 05.04.2012 youtu.be/htdulnrNKyM via YouTube

Bloodbath At The House Of Death - 1984 A very British, very funny, horror spoof parodying many popular movies from the early 80s but with a spirit of its own.

Gordon/Yuzna’s second venture is another Lovecraft story. Where most people have struggled to bring the writer’s work to the screen, this collaboration has produced the most memorable of the lot. A great cast & fantastic effects from Mark Shostrom make this essential viewing.

The Gore Guide: 1980s Bloody sect - 1982 A Spanish production in the same vein as Rosemary’s Baby with a dash of Manhattan Baby and a sprinkling of Beyond The Door. It’s sleazy and bloody and pretty entertaining.

One of a slew of Italian-made post-apocalyptic action movies released in the wake of Mad Max 2, this time from the maestro himself, Lucio Fulci. It feels like the stepping stone between Rollerball (1975) and The Running Man (1987) and, although not peak Fulci, it is a fun watch.

A sorely underrated slasher with a genuinely great whodunnit aspect. Solid acting, a great story and superb gore make this an unmissable entry in The Gore Guide. . . #horrormovies #horrorfilm #horrorfam #horrorfan #mybloodyvalentine #blood #splatter

One of the more extreme movies of the 1980s, this grainy, black and white, dialogue free release is the stuff of nightmares. It’s visually and aurally disturbing and definitely not a movie for everyone. . . #horror #horrormovies #horrorfan #begotten #80smovies

Maniac - 1980 Joe Spinell is superb as the sweaty, heavy-breathing mother-obsessed “Maniac” & grimy 80s NYC is the perfect setting for this sleazy classic, with great effects (& possibly the best cameo ever) from Tom Savini. . #horror #horrormovies #joespinell #maniac #80smovies

Don’t go in the woods - 1981 Surprisingly well shot but atrociously dubbed, this video nasty falls into the so bad it’s good category. Plenty of decent kills & a good pace (along with the unintentional humour) make this a recommended watch. . . #Thegoreguide #horrorfilm

Night Of The Demon - 1980 Another video nasty that didn’t really deserve its inclusion. It’s not a “good” film but it is highly entertaining (in a bad way) and the ending is like The Incredible Hulk TV series if it was made by Troma. . . #thegoreguide #videonasty #splatter #gore

A trashy zombie-revenge movie featuring Adam West and Tia Carrere, and with Motörhead Playing Ace Of Spades over the opening credits? Yes please. It’s fun and although the gore is minimal, it’s just enough, for the era, to get this on the list . . #zombie #horrormovies #80shorror

Sweet home - 1989 This Japanese haunted house movie was made in conjunction with a role-playing video game of the same name which was the main inspiration for Resident Evil (1996). It has some spooky scenes and some great practical effects, recommended. #thegoreguide #Sweethome

An American Werewolf In London - 1981 Not much can be said about this that hasn’t already been said, it’s an absolute classic with one of the best transformations in cinema history. Needless to say, it’s highly recommended. . . #thegoreguide #horrormovies #horrorfam #80shorror

Scalps - 1987 This violent spaghetti western from Bruno Mattei may have been a late entry in the genre but is deserving of more recognition. Not to be confused with the movie of the same name from 1983 by Fred Olen Ray. #thegoreguide #HorrorCommunity #80shorror #brunomattei

Evil Dead 2 - 1987 Considered both a remake and a sequel (or a requel) to The Evil Dead (1981) but a classic in its own right. One of the few movies to successfully mix slapstick humour with genuine scares, it goes without saying it’s a must watch . #horrorfilm #HorrorCommunity

Bloody New Year - 1987 Very weird mixture of The Shining (1980), Night Of The Demons (1988) & Dead & Buried (1981). An American-styled, 50s-themed British horror that makes absolutely no sense and is total unpredictable nonsense, in a good way . #horror #thegoreguide #horrorfilm

Night Feeder - 1988 An SOV from the seedy underbelly of the San Francisco punk scene. something/someone is sucking peoples brains out through their eye sockets. A surprisingly effective low budget horror with a well done autopsy scene. . #horrorfilm #HorrorCommunity #thegoreguide

Alien 2: On Earth (1980) An Italian Alien cash-in which has similarities with The Descent, released 25 years later. Decent splatter . . #italianhorror #80shorrormovies #michelesoavi #splatter #gore #thegoreguide #horrorlover #horrormovie #specialeffectmakeup #horrorfamily #alien
