Scary but Cute and some just silly Creature Movies ot the 80s

Not sure where it all started but I think the success of Gremlins probably had something to do with it. Here's a few of those loveable little creatures from the mid 80's. I love all these little guys, great cheesy fun !

Critters (1986)

Ghoulies/Ghoulies 2 (1987)

Hobgoblins (20th Anniversary Special Edition) (1987)

Maniac (1980)

Frank Zito (a career performance by co-writer/co-executive producer Joe Spinell of ROCKY and THE GODFATHER fame) is a deeply disturbed man, haunted by the traumas of unspeakable childhood abuse. And when these horrific memories begin to scream inside his mind, Frank prowls the seedy streets of New York City to stalk and slaughter innocent young women. Now Frank has begun a relationship with a beautiful photographer (Caroline Munro of THE SPY WHO LOVED ME), yet his vile compulsions remain. These are the atrocities of a human monster. This is the story of a MANIAC.


Experience MANIAC like you've never seen or heard it before. Directed by William Lustig (MANIAC COP, VIGILANTE) and featuring landmark gore effects by Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD, FRIDAY THE 13th), this notorious classic was censored all over the world for its graphic violence and remains banned in England and Germany to this day. But MANIAC is more than just one of the most relentlessly depraved films of our time; it is quite possibly one of the most disturbing horror movies ever made.  AVAILABLE HERE on DVD
