With an average IMDb score of 6.3 from over 24 horror movies released in 1983 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (Grizzly II: The Concert, Amityville 3-D), but we also got some real gems like Angst (1983) and City of Pirates (1983) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1983 we did pretty good.So grab some snacks and a drink (and maybe something to hide behind) and check out reviews, ratings and trailers for the 1983 - Top 20 Horror Movies ranked by Amazon.
