Pyro, Ghosthouse is an awesome movie!! I was thrilled when I found it on DVD.
Other underrated horor gems, for me, are...
Cassandra (hard to find--VHS only--got my copy from Amazon) Funeral Home (one of my faves from my childhood) Mountaintop Motel Massacre (so darn bad it's good) American Gothic Dolly Dearest (this one may be from the 90s) The Subspecies series
I'm sure I'll think of more later...I love horror movies.

My best friend growing up had it taped off TV. That was the first time I'd ever seen it. Most ppl have never heard of it. I bought it on DVD when it finally came out!

Also worth mentioning : The Unseen (1980), Sole Survivor (1983), and Italy's Zeder (1983, aka Revenge of the Dead).
And talking about The Funhouse.. it got a truly superb release on blu-ray in the UK last year from Arrow Films. Very, very good new transfer and tons of bonus features which include 3 commentary tracks and multiple featurettes. It may very well be Arrow's best blu-ray release so far !

You know oddly enough the first time I watched Funhouse and Dead and Buried I didn't like them so much. But gave them a repeat viewing and really like them now.

Pumpkinhead is an excellent choice, Pyro. It makes me wish that Stan Winston would have directed more movies, although SFX were definitely his calling card. Between Lance Henriksen's performance, the design of the monster, the backwoods setting, and Richard Stone's score, you've got a superior monster movie.
Here are my picks:
The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988)
Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982)
Critters (1986)
C.H.U.D. (1984)
The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)
Humanoids from the Deep (1980) Posts: 122 | From: Beverly, MA | Registered: Feb 2011 | Site Updates: 0

from a whisper to a scream 1987- decent horror anthology directed by jeff burr who made leatherface - texas chainsaw massacre 3 and starring horror veteran vincent price.
the church 1989- i personally prefered soavi's 1987 horror stagefright but i still enjoy this enough to recommend it.
watchers 1988 - very underated horror starring the late corey haim and also starring that creepy canadian michael ironside. based on a novel by dean koontz.
prison 1988- renny harlins excellent prison set horror(hence the title) starring viggo mortensen.
the initiation 1984 - cool early 80s slasher with a great cast set overnight in an abandoned mall.
