I don’t know about the rest of you, but there’s something about 1984, the year that I was born, that holds some fascination for me. It’s interesting to learn facts about that year, as though it holds some deeper meaning because that was the year I joined this world. For instance, in that year, singer Marvin Gaye was murdered by his father, the first untethered space walk occurred, the Macintosh computer went on sale, Cirque du Soleil was founded, and Reagan was elected for a second term.
Additionally, some very solid horror films came out that year, some of which have become iconic entries into the genre. Ahead are a few of my favorites from that year and then I want to start something that I think will be pretty cool. Here’s how it works:
1) See if your year is listed in the comments below. If not, place a comment with the year as the first part of the comment and then go ahead and list your favorites and reasons why.
2) If your year IS listed in the comments, put your favorites as a reply to that comment. That way, we can keep all the years together in!
Here’s a great resource for finding which horror movies were released in your birth year.
