John Cusack, Curtis Armstrong, Diane Franklin, Tina Littlewood, Yuji Okumoto, and Dan Schneider in Better Off Dead (1985)

These are all of the horror movies from the 80s I've seen, certainly not all of them, but a bunch.

“She might have fooled me, but she didn't fool my mother.”

Norman Bates (actor Anthony Perkins) Psycho (1960)

 ”The Three Mothers rule the world with sorrow, tears and darkness. Mater Suspiriorum, the Mother of Sighs, and the oldest of the three, lives in Freiburg. Mater Lachrymarum, the Mother of Tears, and the most beautiful of the sisters, holds rule in Rome. Mater Tenebrarum, the Mother of Darkness, who is the youngest and cruelest of the three, controls New York.”

Narrator Inferno (1980)

 “He who has wisdom, wonders not of the beast, for nothing in hell lives without Man's consent. Woe unto you that gives the beast form. To contemplate evil, is to ask evil home.”

Colin Childress (actor Jeffrey Combs)  Cellar Dweller (1987)

 “The people in the cellar need help! Let them out!”

The Dead Pit (1989)

 “Woe be unto him who opens  one of the seven gateways to Hell, because through that gateway, evil will invade the world.”

Director Lucio Fulci’s The Beyond (1981)

  + Also includes Sewer horror movies.

 I created this list because I could not find any suggestions on “basement horror” movies.  It is a very interesting type of movie and deserves more attention.

Enjoy.
