Every movie you listed is worth a watch....some of them are great, and some of them are not so great but still entertaining....I love Night of the Demons, The Gate, Nightbreed, and.....well hell, they're all pretty watchable.....I'd check all of them out. The only one I haven't seen is Terror Train, and it's been highly recommended by a person whose opinion I trust.

Nightbreed kicks all kinds of ass.

PS- I bought Hell Night, but havent watched it yet. Will check it out then get back to you.

All worth a watch.

Nightbreed has some kick ass original monsters.

tourist trap is probably my favorite of this bunch

terror train/hell night/funhouse .... i was kind of getting sick of slashers by the time i saw these.

nightbreed is ok .. some good creature effects .. i always liked the fact that it took place in canada (well, the book Cabal did)


the gate has some fun creature effects as well.



Angelakillsluts will tell you that Sleepaway Camp is the best movie ever made :)

I wanted to give Funhouse a special mention because, although it is basically a cookie-cutter slasher pic, it mines the familiar territory with unusual style and production value. I didn't think too much of it when I saw it in the theatres, honestly. But years later, watching a good DVD of it, in widescreen, I found myself impressed. I feel it's the nicest American slasher film "production" from that time period.

The music score is also, arguably, pretty solid.

Unfortunately, although it looks good, the DVD that got released reveals a very unbalanced sound mix, with sound effects that are far too loud and barely audible dialogue tracks. Occasionally you have to strain to hear things. I don't remember it being hard to listen to in the theatre.

1. Terror Train - not bad, worth a peek

2. The Funhouse - again not bad, worth a peek alrite

3. Hell Night - recommended, nice slasher

4. Tourist Trap - recommended, excellent movie

5. Night of the Demons - recommended, neat effects and fun sequences

6. Motel Hell - recommended, nice cheesy effects

7. Nightbreed - highly recommended, easily the best of the lot listed here

8. The Gate - not bad, its an ok movie as far as my interests go...

9. Sleepaway Camp - welllll...depends on the slasher interest you got, its worth a watch though...

I can vouch for all but one......what is "The Gate".....never heard of it?


Watch them all.....hell, buy them if you can get them cheap enough.

I never heard of "The Gate" either...especially here, in this place.
