Ten 1980s horror movies on Tubi

How to choose what to watch
For a slasher
Friday the 13th is the camp-set serial-killer choice. Tubi’s synopsis follows counselors preparing to reopen Camp Crystal Lake despite warnings of a death curse.
For supernatural unease
Pick The Changeling for a slower haunted-house option, or Hellraiser for supernatural horror with thriller elements. Pet Sematary offers another late-1980s horror choice.

For werewolves, vampires, or a creature feature
An American Werewolf in London brings comedy into its horror mix. Tubi labels The Howling horror and thriller; Fright Night is the vampire pick, while The Blob is listed with science-fiction and thriller elements.
For horror-comedy or a shorter runtime
Re-Animator is listed as horror, science fiction, and comedy, and at 1h 27m is one of the shorter options here. Tubi displays its rating as TV-MA; that label alone does not provide detailed content guidance.
Rank #2
Check the decade and local availability
Tubi’s category is called “1980s Horror,” but it is not a strict decade filter: the page also lists titles such as Tales From the Crypt (1996), Santa Sangre (1990), and Warlock (1991). Check a film’s displayed year rather than relying on category membership alone. A title appearing in the category does not establish that it is playable in every country; confirm playback on Tubi in your region.
The years, runtimes, ratings, and genre labels in this list are the catalog details displayed on Tubi’s 1980s Horror page. They are useful for choosing by length or broad subgenre, not for treating the collection as an objective ranking.
