Pigs are scary. They absolutely can and will eat you if they get the chance, even the domesticated ones. And wild boars are some of the most aggressive wild animals you'll ever meet.
Who else had the game? ✋ Essentially the same premise as the Jaws game from several years’ before, where you attempted to retrieve objects from the monster’s open mouth before it mechanically (and unpredictably) snapped shut… imagine that?! 🤯😁
I rewatched The Boogens yesterday and I think it's a really good film. Great snowy atmosphere, good characters. I'm very happy to have it in 4k. Fun fact: the actor who plays the old man is the same actor who plays the father in the Father's Day segment of Creepshow.
I cannot believe I forgot about The Boogens and The Brain!! They are so great!! Super fun video, wonderful concept, and thanks again for having me! You're amazing! 🤗
Actually Deep Star Six had many recognized TV actors from it's day in it, the main reason it doesn't get much respect is the movie Leviathan came out around the same time and had pretty much the same premise with more familiar actors.
All these movies are great. Thank you for shining a light on The Kindred. I never hear anyone talk about this gem. It's so damn good. The effects are excellent. I love the creature. The characters are good. The premise is great. It's just so much fun and the Synapse release is just beautiful. I hope more people discover this film because it's so underrated and under seen
Great video! I’d like to add that The Nest is based on the novel of the same name by Gregory A. Douglas-one of the iconic (and really stomach-churning) horror novels of my youth. It was reissued a few years back by Valancourt Books in their Paperbacks from Hell series. Well worth reading!
Love the list can’t wait to check out some of these films and really enjoyed all the other reviewers with Daniels excellent channel as the wrap around 👏🏼👏🏼
I worked at a video store from 1987-89 in my first two years of college. Perfect job for me as a film fan; I'd do it again in an instant. I remember the VHS box of "The Brain" but never took it home. I really want to see "Razorback" as I've heard a lot about it, all positive. "Alligator" is tons of fun and the 4K looks beautiful, very much like a 35 mm print in excellent condition. And pets being eaten in the sewers...and Jack Carter being carried away pool-side. Oh, man...I remember the VHS box of "The Kindred" in the video store as well, Anthony...never took it home, though.
Awesome video! Cool to see several fellow content creators contribute a pick. Creature Features are by far my favorite sub-genre. Thoroughly enjoy all of these except Extro. A little abstract for my tastes. If you dug The Boogens and Deep Star Six, I'd recommend 1988's Deep Space with Charles Napier.
80's creature features are untouchable ❤ CHUD is the 🐐 of 80's creature feature horror films!!!!! Aliens & Predator & even Terminator are in the same realm but they are big budget so they don't count
One movie that I love to watch that is from 1988 is "Black Roses". It's heavy metal horror movie that has excellent makeup effects. Also , you got a young Big Puss from the Sopranos in it.
In Germany "The Kindred" was released with the title "Anthony". It was really popular on VHS so they later released two seperate films as "sequels". First "The Cellar" from 1989 became "Anthony 2" and then "The Runestone" from 1991 got released as "Anthony 3".
I do own Razorback on Blu-ray, but also saw it in theaters back in the 80s. Also, I saw Alligator and Amityville double feature. When Alligator made its way to TV on ABC, it was the most watched thing for that week.
DUDE... ❤ THIS VIDEO WAS PHENOMENAL!! AND LOADS OF FUN TO HEAR FROM NEW HORROR CHANNELS I'VE NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE!! SO DAMN COOL!! 😅 You, my friend, have just earned yourself a new subscriber with all the bells on! Keep 'em coming!! I eat, sleep, and breathe horror, and I need to talk about it a lot with like minds! This is great! P.S. -- ALLIGATOR used to be that movie I would hunt down on the weekends in the early 90s on USA NETWORK or TNT or whatever, and I was obsessed with it!! Nobody knew what movie I was talking about on the playground, but it was so amazing I always had to track down who was playing Parts 1 and 2 that weekend. I was about 10 or 11 when I discovered it, and I was already obsessed with the JAWS series and Horror in general (my best friend's older brother, who was 16, would go to the Mom n' Pop video rental stores and get us whatever we wanted to watch during sleepovers. Anything with Jason in it was preferred. 😊). It was great to be a kid in the 80s... when the weekends came, we had the best Saturday Morning Cartoons, we played with the best toys that are iconic now, and when the sun set we had the best scary movies to creep ourselves out to when we thought our folks wouldn't find out. Lol Incidentally, it's how we saw naked women for the first time too. Lol Taboos all around for an 80s kid...
I love so many of these. I rented Alligator a lot growing up. 2 on here I need to see - Slugs, which I THINK I saw around 30 years ago, so I think it may be time for a re-watch on that one, and The Kindred, which I have heard of but haven't seen. I need to see it, especially since you have it ranked so highly.
The Boogens and the Ghoulies are two films that we talked about a lot despite never having watched either. My best friend and I used to refer to diarrhea as having “the ghoulies”.
Deep Star Six main actor Greg Evigan is part of my extended family. So i saw Deep Star Six in the theaters in the 80s and own a copy. Also Raw Head Rex is an old favorite of mine. I have seen most of these on VHS back in the day. So very nice list.
I’m sitting here listening to you folks talking about discovering these movies on DVD etcetera when I watched all of them on their original runs in theaters…with the probable exception of Xtro. I think I had to wait for that one show up at Blockbuster. Man I’m old.
I saw The Kindred opening night at the theater all those years ago. I think there were like 8 other people in there besides me and the friend I had dragged along lol
My husband got me that same shirt your wearing 2 years ago for my birthday. Great minds and tastes! Loved the 10 movies listed too had seen them all thanks to cable in the 80’s and 90’s plus childhood insomnia……the insomnia meant I watched movies the movies didn’t cause it lol
YES! Also one of my favorite 80s creature flicks. Alien criminal that digs fast cars & heavy metal and jumps into any available human body. Totally awesome movie - the opening car chase sequence hooks you into this one right away!
I remember seeing Slugs when I was younger, don't remember very much of it but I know it freaked me out, definitely going to have to watch it again. Alligator is a gret movie, I absolutely love it!! Anyways great list, can't wait to check out some of the other ones I haven't seen yet.
Great selection. I saw all these movies back in the vhs era. Saw most of them again later on better quality and I own a few copies on blu-ray. Another movie of that time I enjoyed a lot is The Rift or Endless Descent from 1990. Great creatures and fx
Great list. The Boogens and Xtro are a lot of fun. Alligator is awesome! I consider it the best animal attack movie. Another lesser known favorite of mine is Blue Monkey.
I remember the controversy surrounding test tube babies in the late 70s and into the 80s, with the birth of the first one in 1978. There was so much concern over whether she would "have a soul." Doesn't surprise me that a horror movie would be made about all the fear around the new technology!
First off, “Alligator” was one of the first Low Budget Horror movies that my Mother took me to see. I remember the majority of this movie from memory. It was also the first time that I have seen actor, Henry Silva (The Hunter in this movie). The “Limo” scene was the highlight for me. Even though I only saw this movie once on Cable TV, I can definitely vouch for “Razorback.” That movie had me on the edge of my seat as much as the “Jaws” franchise. Finally, “Kindred” had me more grossed out than scared, but a Good Low Budget Horror film, nevertheless.
I was 10 when I saw Alligator in the theater. It scared me hahahaha. I still love it and all the others. My childhood was awesome! Thank you! I look for content from you every day! You Rock!
Oh god, helped a creature-maker guy a little bit on THE BRINN. I thought it looked awful and pretty dumb. Almost got crushed by a 400 lb (estimate: It may have been even more than that) section of plaster "monster brain" mold (which really should have been made in sections). Btu, here, all these years later I see someone actually had some fun watching it. Who woulda thought? The creature guy passed away a few decades ago/never got to grow old making monsters. (Maybe he's up somewhere looking down and enjoying watching this? R.I.P.)
Excellent list. I can't dispute it. I would give honorable mentions to "Blue Monkey" (1987), "The Deadly Spawn" (1983) and "Q: The Winged Serpent" (1982)
My friends have been telling me to watch The Brain for over a decade, and I finally did last year. I'm glad I did. I thought it was incredible! So much going on! But the movie from this list that scared me as a kid from ever getting in my own pool was Alligator. Shiver...
Actually seen them all! And I agree with all the reviewers 100% BTW, check out Alligator 2 The Spawning. Its great. Forgot that the villain from The Brain is the same actor from ReAnimator.
My favorite underrated creature film of the 80s isn't on this list. I love cheesy creature movies, and this is so bad it's not only good, it's funny. It's Humanoids from the Deep. It stars Doug McClure, and was released in 1980. Again, it's set in a small town, people start dying and pretty teenage girls start disappearing. If you like cheesy creature features, you need to check this one out.
My favorites will always be The Kindred, The Prophesy, The Blue Monkey, The Nest and Project Metal Beast. Just my favorites and always will be. Deadly Spawn is in there somewhere as well
I remember watching an actual show called Creature Feature at my grandparents growing up in 70s and 80s. Introduced me to a lot of Hammer and other horror gems. On a side note, I recently finished a book called Slugs by Shaun Hutson. Wonder if the movie is any way related to it (haven't seen the movie).
Oh wow, I've actually seen all of these. I can't believe it. That NEVER happens to me with lists like this. I just happened to be a huge horror fan who grew up in the 80s and loved lower budget horror films. I'm also lucky that I had a relative that ran a video store who was also into B-grade schlock flicks. These are all excellent choices. All of these would have made my top ten. But I probably would have wanted to make it 15, because there are a few more I'd add. I'm a huge fan of The Boogens, Rawhead Rex, and Razorback.
Ever seen Bug, starring Bradford Dillman? That may be my favorite cockroach-related horror movie. Also, how does Deepstar Six stack up against Leviathan, which seems roughly similar? Finally, I just plain love Alligator. Thanks!
I can vouch for Razorback being a visual treat (GoodBadFlicks covered this a while ago, and when The Horror Geek also covered it I got the Blu-ray right after). Alligator is a childhood staple of mine, frequently rented it from Blockbuster and was so glad when the 4k got released because it was hard to get a high-quality copy (tons of cheap DVD copies on eBay from South Korea, good quality but not HD). I also saw The Brain and it's a good film. I still need to see Rawhead Rex, hopefully I can fit it in this year and not forget again.
The Boogens, Alligator, Razorback, Slugs, and Deep Star Six is half of my top ten movies of the 80s. Great picks Daniel.
So glad you included Razorback. Doesn't get the credit, it deserves!
Thank you, Mel, for saying "wreak havoc," instead of "wreck havoc."
Razorback is the greatest movie ever made about a giant killer pig. The movie is gorgeous, and Russell Mulcahy is an underrated genius.
Pigs are scary. They absolutely can and will eat you if they get the chance, even the domesticated ones. And wild boars are some of the most aggressive wild animals you'll ever meet.
It’s a warthog; not a pig. They’re not considered pigs in the country of Australia 🇦🇺 Thank you Sir!!

@@aimeemWarthogs are what we refer them as and never called them a pig!
@@aimeemWe refer to them as a warthog and not pigs in the outback, thank you 🇦🇺
Alligator is a really good movie. The part with the pool stayed with me for a long time.
Who else had the game? ✋ Essentially the same premise as the Jaws game from several years’ before, where you attempted to retrieve objects from the monster’s open mouth before it mechanically (and unpredictably) snapped shut… imagine that?! 🤯😁
Alligator was a staple for Halloween parties and sleepovers. Also Waxwork 1 and 2. Oh and The Deadly Spawn.
Great movies! Except Deadly Spawn, which I still need to see!
@@cobwebschannelspeaking of Alligators have you heard of the Alligator people as well as the teenage zombies and Beach girls and the monster?
@@cobwebschannel That's a great one. Not quite as rewatchable as Basket Case but way gorier and just as low budget.
Rawhead Rex and Pumpkinhead/Vengeance The Demon are my two favourite creature features from the 1980's. So glad to see Rawhead on this video 🤗
Same love them both
I rewatched The Boogens yesterday and I think it's a really good film. Great snowy atmosphere, good characters. I'm very happy to have it in 4k. Fun fact: the actor who plays the old man is the same actor who plays the father in the Father's Day segment of Creepshow.

Thank you for joining Mel! You’re awesome too!
Yes! Love This! Thanks for inviting me on. ❤ Great list
Kindred scared the crap out of me when I was young. The watermelon scene was just amazing. Brilliant practical effects
Great stuff everybody. Thanks for checking this out. All of these are definitely worth checking.
Actually Deep Star Six had many recognized TV actors from it's day in it, the main reason it doesn't get much respect is the movie Leviathan came out around the same time and had pretty much the same premise with more familiar actors.
LOVE THE BRAIN! Razorback is great as well!
I'm soooooo very glad you are showcasing these movies!
I grew up watching these films and absolutely love them!
Please keep up the good work!!!😊😊
All these movies are great. Thank you for shining a light on The Kindred. I never hear anyone talk about this gem. It's so damn good. The effects are excellent. I love the creature. The characters are good. The premise is great. It's just so much fun and the Synapse release is just beautiful. I hope more people discover this film because it's so underrated and under seen
Picked up the 4K of Alligator the moment it hit the market! One of my all time faves!
Great video! I’d like to add that The Nest is based on the novel of the same name by Gregory A. Douglas-one of the iconic (and really stomach-churning) horror novels of my youth. It was reissued a few years back by Valancourt Books in their Paperbacks from Hell series. Well worth reading!
The Boogens TV commercial was legit terrifying back in the day...
Daniel, I really love how you describe the movies without spoiling it at all. More movie vloggers/podcasters need to take notes from you.
Love the list can’t wait to check out some of these films and really enjoyed all the other reviewers with Daniels excellent channel as the wrap around 👏🏼👏🏼
Great episode. Loved seeing the guests and I can’t wait it see some of these movies I’ve heard of but never knew they were this gnarly
Amazing video, Daniel! Great stuff!

Thank you for making this video because there are so many of these that I haven't seen and am IMMEDIATELY adding to my watchlist!
Sweet!! Thank you Tracy!
I'm new to your channel (a little over a week). Been loving it and having so much fun. I'm glad you highlighted some other film channels to check out.
Great list, and I own all of them with The Brain, Alligator, and The Kindred being my favorite.
It's so good to hear someone singing the praises for "The Boogens" !👻 I love your channel, you've got wonderful energy.😺
Awesome video! Cool to see several fellow content creators contribute a pick. Creature Features are by far my favorite sub-genre. Thoroughly enjoy all of these except Extro.

Night of the creeps, man Thankyou , you have made me go back and remember I watched all of these and more repeatedly 🤣
Thanks for the video,have been trying to remember a movie I watched as a kid and was having a difficult time with it. Low and behold The Boogens!
I have rented a lot of 80s horror back in the day from crazy Mike's. I'm looking forward to this
In Germany "The Kindred" was released with the title "Anthony". It was really popular on VHS so they later released two seperate films as "sequels". First "The Cellar" from 1989 became "Anthony 2" and then "The Runestone" from 1991 got released as "Anthony 3".
Oh yes, I remember that. I liked The KIndred/Anthony well enough back then, but I never got my hands on the "sequels", haha.
Massive congrats on your 20K subscribers milestone! You should do a live stream to celebrate it!
Hey, thank you!! It just happened this morning. And I am doing a celebration stream next week!
@@cobwebschannel Can't wait!!!
Thank You for the List and Video 😀
I do own Razorback on Blu-ray, but also saw it in theaters back in the 80s. Also, I saw Alligator and Amityville double feature. When Alligator made its way to TV on ABC, it was the most watched thing for that week.
Love this idea of getting other people involved. makes it feel more like a community. Fun stuff thanks for the recommendations

Great picks. I'm fortunate to have seen them all. I wore out my VHS copies of Razor Back and Alligator from watching them so many times. Awesome show.
Amazing list I had to order two of these I have never seen before. (Slugs & The Brain) great video !! Creature features are some my favorite films.
I love so many of these. I rented Alligator a lot growing up. 2 on here I need to see - Slugs, which I THINK I saw around 30 years ago, so I think it may be time for a re-watch on that one, and The Kindred, which I have heard of but haven't seen.

Congrats on 20k and great video man!! You inspire me 🫡
Love the work you do I watched some of the movies you recommended from the 80s slashers videos. I can’t wait to check some of these out
Just binged Slugs, The Nest, and Alligator on Tubi. Loved them!!!!
ALLIGATOR was amazing! The fact that they used a REAL gator on scale sets was rad.
My first viewing of Alligator was in like 82 on CBS Late Night Movie during that summer. Lol
I remember watching The Boogens in the theater!😂 Great list!🙌
Love the list. I'll give The Boogens another chance, as I didn't like the film when I got the 4k.
Also, congrats on 20k! 🎉
I’m sitting here listening to you folks talking about discovering these movies on DVD etcetera when I watched all of them on their original runs in theaters…with the probable exception of Xtro. I think I had to wait for that one show up at Blockbuster. Man I’m old.
Awesome review of the 80's but more so Awesome Networking a community, Thank You
I saw The Kindred opening night at the theater all those years ago. I think there were like 8 other people in there besides me and the friend I had dragged along lol
I was so eager to see The Kindred I drove some distance at night during a rainstorm. I was not disappointed.
My husband got me that same shirt your wearing 2 years ago for my birthday. Great minds and tastes! Loved the 10 movies listed too had seen them all thanks to cable in the 80’s and 90’s plus childhood insomnia……the insomnia meant I watched movies the movies didn’t cause it lol
Fantastic Thumbnail
Great upload
Nice to see Xtro on this list. Such an underrated mind bending oddity of a movie. One of my all time faves
I love 1987’s The Hidden.
YES! Also one of my favorite 80s creature flicks. Alien criminal that digs fast cars & heavy metal and jumps into any available human body. Totally awesome movie - the opening car chase sequence hooks you into this one right away!
Thanks some of these I haven't seen in so long I've forgotten about them
The Kindred stars two Oscar winners, Rod Steiger for In The Heat of the Night and Kim Hunter for A Streetcar Named Desire.
Basket Case, oh my god awesome movie
Absolutely agree with your opinion on Deepstar Six !!!!! Underrated gem !!!!!!!
Awesome movies Dude!! This Is what I was looking for!!!
I remember seeing Slugs when I was younger, don't remember very much of it but I know it freaked me out, definitely going to have to watch it again. Alligator is a gret movie, I absolutely love it!! Anyways great list, can't wait to check out some of the other ones I haven't seen yet.
You HIT 2Ok congratulations 🎉🎊🍾
Great selection. I saw all these movies back in the vhs era. Saw most of them again later on better quality and I own a few copies on blu-ray. Another movie of that time I enjoyed a lot is The Rift or Endless Descent from 1990. Great creatures and fx
The fact that Rex wore a jacket and trousers made him a little less-horrific than he might have been. Plus the goofy eyes.
Great list. The Boogens and Xtro are a lot of fun. Alligator is awesome! I consider it the best animal attack movie. Another lesser known favorite of mine is Blue Monkey.
Respect for Juan Piquer Simón, one of the titans of spanish commercial cinema.
I remember the controversy surrounding test tube babies in the late 70s and into the 80s, with the birth of the first one in 1978. There was so much concern over whether she would "have a soul." Doesn't surprise me that a horror movie would be made about all the fear around the new technology!
I *love* THE NEST! What an amazing final creature.
I own everyone of these movies and seen 4 of them in the theaters back in the 80's....The Boogens, Rawhead Rex, Deepstar Six and Xtro.
First off, “Alligator” was one of the first Low Budget Horror movies that my Mother took me to see. I remember the majority of this movie from memory.

Finally, “Kindred” had me more grossed out than scared, but a Good Low Budget Horror film, nevertheless.
I was shocked by Slug. Was not expecting the gore.
I was 10 when I saw Alligator in the theater. It scared me hahahaha. I still love it and all the others. My childhood was awesome! Thank you! I look for content from you every day! You Rock!
I believe the alligator's name is, "Ramone".
@@geraldmartin7703 Hahahaha I hope so. That's great!
Rawhead Rex was my favorite. He was scary af. Those crazy eyes.. Loved it.
Oh god, helped a creature-maker guy a little bit on THE BRINN. I thought it looked awful and pretty dumb. Almost got crushed by a 400 lb (estimate: It may have been even more than that) section of plaster "monster brain" mold (which really should have been made in sections). Btu, here, all these years later I see someone actually had some fun watching it. Who woulda thought? The creature guy passed away a few decades ago/never got to grow old making monsters. (Maybe he's up somewhere looking down and enjoying watching this? R.I.P.)
I love Alligator I watched that all the time as a kid. And Slugs is responsible for me ALWAYS checking my food when I slice it up.
One monster movie that never gets talked about is a movie I have on DVD called Slithis, Maybe 70's. maybe 80's.
I've seen all of them except The Brain and Rawhead Rex. Lots of good ones here.
Excellent list. I can't dispute it.
I would give honorable mentions to "Blue Monkey" (1987), "The Deadly Spawn" (1983) and "Q: The Winged Serpent" (1982)
A+ video!
LOVE IT! They look like awesome films!
My friends have been telling me to watch The Brain for over a decade, and I finally did last year. I'm glad I did. I thought it was incredible! So much going on! But the movie from this list that scared me as a kid from ever getting in my own pool was Alligator. Shiver...
Razorback is a great movie. Very well filmed for such an old movie.
Actually seen them all! And I agree with all the reviewers 100%
BTW, check out Alligator 2 The Spawning. Its great.
Forgot that the villain from The Brain is the same actor from ReAnimator.

Xtro was the first movie my parents rented from a video store, and it's still one of my favorites
Deep Star 6 is such an underrated creature feature. I genuinely love the cast, and found the characters to be really likeable.
Absolutely!
My favorites will always be The Kindred, The Prophesy, The Blue Monkey, The Nest and Project Metal Beast. Just my favorites and always will be. Deadly Spawn is in there somewhere as well
Own all 10 on blu ray
Nice!!
The Kindred getting a shoutout! Such an underrated one!
Yes! I love Rawheadrex so fucking much. Watch this movie!

On a side note, I recently finished a book called Slugs by Shaun Hutson. Wonder if the movie is any way related to it (haven't seen the movie).
Deadly Spawn is a fun one to. Spookies is a great creature film.
Blood Beach is one that nobody really talks about much.
Oh wow, I've actually seen all of these. I can't believe it. That NEVER happens to me with lists like this.
I just happened to be a huge horror fan who grew up in the 80s and loved lower budget horror films. I'm also lucky that I had a relative that ran a video store who was also into B-grade schlock flicks.
These are all excellent choices. All of these would have made my top ten. But I probably would have wanted to make it 15, because there are a few more I'd add.
