I sense a significant lack of Hockey mask wearing, physically disfigured serial killer in this list.

You are very right! But there are like 300 good to mediocre movies from the 80's. That is why there is a bonus round. The sooner we get too it, the sooner we can finally figure out which is truely the greatest 80's movie of all time!

I do not accept that answer. In the 80's we had (8) Friday The 13th movies. It should have had a real good shot at being on that list.

How many of the titles on that list are franchises that are still alive and kicking 30 years later?

We also had 5 or 6 "A Nightmare On Elm Street" movies in the 80's yet not even one is on the list.

And I don't say this to start a war about which movie/killers are better (mainly because I don't like horror movies)
