I’ve been telling the stories to younger generations, reminiscing with my own generation who lived it. Opening night for horror movies in the 1980s were carnivals of mayhem to make the recent Minecraft popcorn dump challenge look tame (albeit the hellion in me cheered when we got the popcorn shower during that movie). Eighties horror flicks at the cinema were party time, especially for a Friday the 13th film! You had the fortitude to hang with it and participate in the carnage, or you retreated to Rick Springfield’s Hard to Hold one theater over. Here, my friends, is a compiled list I came up with on my Substack, “Ten Rules for Survival at a 1980’s Slasher Flick.” Don’t say I never warned you.
