With an average IMDb score of 6.5 from over 20 horror movies released in 1986 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (Entrails of a Virgin, Monster in the Closet), but we also got some real gems like Aliens (1986) and The Pied Piper (1986) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1986 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 1986 - Top 5 Horror Movies ranked by Rotten Tomatoes.
