I love the nostalgia in watching 80's horror. Even though I was born in 87 I used to stay up late at my dads in the mid 90s and watch all the 80s horror films that were thrown on at midnight as a channel filler.
I wouldn't say they are as scary/jumpy as films from the last 15 years but certainly have more gore and have a general "horror" feel.
For example last night I decided to watch maximum overdrive which lets be honest is generically a terrible film but the feel of the 80s horror behind it brings out that excitement and makes me go back to the time when I was barley a teenager.
