Horror Bites - Dripping with Goo

PART TWO - Daddy would've gotten us Uzis...

Time to change gears and see what else the 1980s has in store. Coming down from all those eye gags and scenes of oozing madness is tough, so let's take a look at something a little different where comedy is at the forefront and in some cases things are surprisingly tame for the horror genre. Which is perhaps a little odd for this decade. Of course this is often a genre which often merges into the realm of science-fiction B-movies, so you're always going to find a few cases where they focus more on those aspects. But a recurring factor here is dumb laughs, silly dialogue and slimy (but often bloodless) special effects.
