With an average IMDb score of 6.2 from over 31 horror movies released in 1987 you could say it was actually a pretty good year for horror movies. Sure there were some duds (The Marsupials: The Howling III, Evil Spawn), but we also got some real gems like Predator (1987) and Deja vu (1987) to name just a few. As horror fans we've come to expect a wide ranging degree of quality from our vice but in 1987 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 1987 - Top 5 Horror Movies ranked by Metacritic.
