Happy weekend, defacers of all things delicate. Am I the only one that wants to destroy things because there isn.t any football this weekend?

There has never been a more glorious time to be a horror fan than in the 1980s, when practical effects reigned supreme. Remakes like The Thing, The Blob and The Fly as well as brand new films such as Gremlins, Basket Case and From Beyond showed us how far the art of makeup effects had progressed, allowing filmmakers to bring incredible monsters and jaw-dropping moments of extreme gore to the big screen. I get all warm and fuzzy inside just thinking about it.
Based out of South Carolina, freelance artist Trent Shy is a guy who appreciates the artistry that was on display in the 1980s, and he's just put together an incredible video that pays tribute to some of the best monster movies that came out of the decade.
