JoBlo.com recently launched a new weekly documentary series called 80s Horror Memories, and the first five episodes of the series were all dedicated to films that were released in 1980: Maniac, Dressed to Kill, Alligator, Friday the 13th, The Shining, Prom Night, and The Fog. The second five episodes were a journey through 1981, covering The Funhouse, The Burning, Friday the 13th Part 2, My Bloody Valentine, Halloween II, The Evil Dead, The Howling, and An American Werewolf in London, as well as the careers of horror hosts Elvira and Joe Bob Briggs. We started our look at 1982 with Conan the Barbarian and continued with The Thing. With the thirteenth episode of the series, we’re digging into the ’80s 3-D boom, which included movies like Friday the 13th Part III, Jaws 3-D, and Amityville 3-D, among others. To hear all about it, check out the video embedded above!

New episodes of 80s Horror Memories will be released through the YouTube channel JoBlo Horror Originals every Monday. 

Here’s the info on 80s Horror Memories: It’s been over 40 years that the decade that shaped the horror movie industry began and having lived through most of those years personally, we at JoBlo/Arrow in the Head have decided to create a 10-part documentary series in which not only cover every nook and cranny of the biggest horror themes from 1980 to 1989 but also what was happening in the world at the time. Join us as we walk down Horror Memory Lane!

And here’s the info on this particular episode: In this episode of 80s Horror Memories we’re going to look back at the movies that tried to impress us by sticking things in our faces. So put on your 3-D glasses for absolutely no reason… because just like the VHS rentals of the time, this video is not in 3-D… and let’s talk about the 3-D Horror in our 80s Horror Memories.
