Other great B- horror movies from 80`s- early 90`s?
I just love these funny B-horror movies from 80`s- early 90`s . My favourites are Critters and The People Under The Stairs. I want more! Are there any other as good as these?

Killer Klowns from Outer Space is ridiculously cheesy and yet hilarious. It's fun and funny. Same goes for Attack of the Killer Tomatoes...
Is there anything more you're looking when it comes to your B movies... cuz there's so many out there... if you are a little more specific, then maybe we could give you some really good classics!! :)
cheers

Killer Klowns is immense!
I guess the other obvious ones are Tremors (awesome), and Ghoulies (which sucked, but similar to Critters). Umm Puppet Masters I remember being fun, but I've not seen it for almost 20 years. Troll 2 is probably the best comedy/horror I've ever seen.
RE-ANIMATOR
DEAD ALIVE
EVIL DEAD 2
BRAIN DAMAGE
FRANKENHOOKER
TOXIC AVENGER
RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD
That's it for right now.
BTW I'm watching CRITTERS now on Xfininty.com.
I liked all the ones listed here but lets not forget the best of the bunch "night of the creeps". 90 minutes of horror-fun 80's style and more horror-genre references than you can shake a stick at. Also a slew of quotable quips. If you have never seen it, check it out now, if you have seen it, see it again, if you have seen it a bunch of times, you and I share a taste in movies.
Detective Cameron-"Girls I got good news and bad news. the good news is your dates are here..."
Sorority girl-"what's the bad news?"
Detective Cameron-"They're dead"
"Zombies, exploding heads, creepy-crawlies... and a date for the formal. This is classic, Spanky"
Lets not forget Monster Squad, made by the same people, and, btw, Shane Black the writer aka first guy to die in Predator is making Iron Man 3.
share"night of the creeps" made me a fan of fred dekker. I saw "the monster squad" for that reason only, even though I was wary because I hate "kids" movies, even when I was a kid. However it was better than I thought it would be and seems to be more enjoyable on repeat viewings. I think it was marketed badly, not know weather it should be an adult or kid film which led to it's box office failure and the stalled career of Mr. Dekker. I'm glad it has found some cult appreciation in it's old age and if you havn't gotten a copy the 2 disk set it worth it. I wish NOTL had a 2 disk but the SE they eventually came out with is nice. Also I'm a BIG fan of shane black. Starting with Lethal weapon, he made his mark as a major screenwriting talent. I LOVED "the long kiss goodnight" and still watch it at least once a year, even though most people it seems hate it. I'm glad he will be involved with the iron man franchise as the second chapter was definitely not as good as the first. Also, Shane, if you are reading this PM me I have three treatments that need full writes and a production company that's interested in at least one of them, I just need a good screenwriter.

Ghoulies go to college?!?! I MUST watch this. Love me some Ghoulies.
cat ghoulie, rat ghoulie, baby ghoulie and bat ghoulie.
Ghostbusters is 80s, yes, but definitely not B-grade. It is an A-grade first-run masterpiece comedy-horror that smashed the Box Office to smithereens.
I wouldn't say The Lost Boys is B-grade either, but perhaps borderline.
HAHAHA i just remembered one "Garbage Pail Kids". Super cheesy and kinda scary at times.
