WOW John thanks so much for the shout out you didn't need to do that. It's very much appreciated tho! I've the Thing on 4k and i've still got to check the 4k out. My eldest son hasn’t seen it yet so I want to watch it with him. As I love watching classic movies that I love and see his reaction to them.

I really appreciate the shoutout John, and thanks for coming on the pod on Saturday, it was great to have you on the show. They Live is a fantastic film, I only watched it this past year for the first time but I thought it was terrific. Plus with me being a big wrestling fan it's cool to see Roddy Piper in the film. Brilliant video and a top selection of horror movies bud.

You know your in for a good top 10 when Demons is number 9. I had a feeling a few John Carpenter movies would be in here as well and believe it or not John but my next video is going to be they live 4K vs Blu-Ray. I had a feeling Halloween 3 would make the top 10 as well but as you said you could have any of the four 80s Halloween movies into this top 10. I really was surprised to see alligator at number one and the only reason why I was was because I haven't seen the movie on 4k but I've heard great things about it and I'm hoping someday especially after seeing this video I can pick it up. Thank you for this incredible top 10 John

Thanks for the shout out glad to see you managed to make a top 10 in the end I remember you said you struggled 😆

Good video John, it's great seeing all these classic films in 4k, as the quality is stunning. Kino Lorber are releasing Death Wish original on 4k early 2023. I will definitely buy that.

Totally agree with Aligator. It's such a treat, especially down in the sewers.

Thank you John.

A solid selection of '80s efforts to be sure. All essential viewing in one capacity or another.👍

Halloween 3 is completely separate from the others. However, it's awesome! If I remember correctly, John Carpenter made it out of spite because everyone was pressing him for a third movie when he didn't even want to make a second. That being said, I don't think John Carpenter is capable of making a bad movie. Even when he tries to suck the movie still turns out awesome.

Great video, John, and cracking list. Demons is fantastic quality, I compared it against the 4K version on Prime, and the disc blew it away, Gerreta Gerreta's foaming mouth and the motorbike really stood out. AWIL is great, and just can't say enough good things about OLED black levels. I think the standout scene is tenebrae is where the woman gets her arm chopped off, and the blood spray across the wall looks unreal in HDR. Alligator at number 1 was a surprise, like. Looking forward to tomorrow's stream 😀

Enjoyed the list. I have them all. On a side note as Alligator is No 1 check out Crawl as that has a lot of Jump scares and a good 4k transfer.

great video and nice list

I really appreciate that you your choices are based on the transfer quality and not necessarily the quality of the film. Exactly the information I'm looking for. Shame Scorsese doesn't get involved the way Carpenter seems to. Regards

Some great picks John, from Cats Eye, They Live, American Werewolf, The Thing. Talking of The Thing, it's great on Commentary. Halloween III, is my favourite Halloween movie, the Picture is amazing.

Another great list. Evil Dead 2 is a very good 4k disc if you haven't seen it.

You mentioned some of my favourite films like John Carpenter's the THING and American werewolf in London and another John Carpenter's film They Live which are all under rated films.

I think there's a bit of a Dilemma with Genres, is not 'The Thing' Sci Fi/Horror and not an out and out Horror movie? If so, then I would put 'Aliens' in any list of the 80's but then again, I'm looking for a Horror movie to watch on Halloween and my Favs are 'The Thing' and 'Aliens' but they don't just sit right for Halloween so I'd go for 'American Werewolf'...or maybe 'Salems Lot' (I know...1979)...decisions, decisions...I just realised that you are only doing 4K in your list so you are taking the quality of image into consideration - Great Vids keep em' coming

Hey John. A very interesting list. Definitely a bit of a horror vibe going on there. Lol. They Live is on my list to pick up, gotta love Carpenter. I just picked up both Escape films finally so only They Live and The Fog left to get on 4k now. I have to say, The Thing has to be one of my favourite 4k films. It just looks so good. Im very surprised you didnt include The Shining. That has to be to up there as one of the best 4k transfers for me. Especially when you watch it on an OLED telly. Totally agree that its like watching things for the first time again and its a totally different viewing experience. Have you picked up The Lost Boys 4k yet or do you intend to? Im a massive fan and its never looked as good. Watched it twice already 😂👍

The Shining is another fantastic 80s horror 4K transfer and the film is a classic as we all know. I'd also put the 4K of John Carpenter's Christine and Scream factory's Halloween II

Top Notch video, Id put The Thing above Alligator based on its a better film as well as the transfer, I need to pick the Halloween movies where did you get them?

And, Bro, ya gotta say Michael Myers, not Mike. It makes people hate Austin Powers when you do that. lol

I got An American Werewolf in London on VHS 📼. 😀👍🐺🌚

I got An Aliens on VHS 👽👽👽👽

Hey John! Just thought you might want to give a quick heads up to you subscribers in case this has happened to them also... During chatting with @horrorhands, I mentioned you in text and noticed it didn’t highlight. So I checked my subscriptions, and discovered that I was no longer subscribed to your channel. I’ve re-subscribed, but thought you might want to get others to check. I wondered why you’d been quiet lately! Same thing with @horrorintoj too! I’ve let him know too. All the best!
