It's the time of the year to celebrate one of horror's greatest film franchises.

The bleak tone of the movie deeply influenced the course of one of the most impactful decades of American filmmaking.

Despite not living up to its assembled talent, the film highlighted the ex-'SNL' star's on-screen charisma and acting ability.

The show continues to have a monumental effect on television.

The seventh and final movie in the franchise bombed but not necessarily because it was bad.

Movie was first in a string of late-career misfires by the director.

The Bo Derek vehicle has a richly deserved reputation as a travesty of the cinematic arts.

The '80s have a reputation for cheesy, romantic, capitalism-celebrating art – and rightfully so. John Carpenter broke the mold.

Several bits from the film should be included in the canon of Bill Murray's career highlights.

Much of its talent is squandered, but the film still serves as a great reminder of a long-lost era.

Chuck Barris' legendary variety show helped usher in a kind of screen zaniness that's still with us today.
