It's time for one of those massive episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 1980 was massive for horror movies. As well as containing those auteur driven, massive studio movies, exploitation cinema was still in full flow, the underground was rich at this point in time . So what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during '80? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and a 7+ hour running time split over 4 episodes. This is the 1980, A Year In Horror.

It's a truly long journey this one, part 1 of 4 in fact. I am going to give you the time codes below so if you don't want spoilers then, please, avert your eyes.
