From The Shining and Poltergeist to Friday the 13th and Halloween the 1980's was full of great horror movies. Equally as good as the films were the grainy clips and mysterious voices of the genre's vintage trailers. Here's a compilation of 22 of the decade's very best.
You could remove the zombies from Shaun of the Dead, give the film an entirely different plot, and still have a cast of well-written characters. The characters in Edgar Wright's apocalyptic comedy are as defined by what they are not as what they are, and depend on the cast to fill in those flaws. Lessons From the Screenplay takes a deep dive into Wright and Shaun of the Dead to show that strong characters are essential to a film, even if it's a comedy.
Like any good villain whose career spans 11 films, Michael Myers has evolved and changed and grown with the times — but he's still a crazed, murderous psychopath.

Tell it Animated goes through all of Myers' costumes through the series of films along with a little background to keep you up-to-date on what you might have missed.
With the S8 MaxV Ultra, Roborock ensures every inch of your house is clean. The new model features a Flexi Arm Design with an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, while an Extra Edge Mopping System cleans along edges. A Reactive AI 2.0 Obstacle Recognition uses a 3D structured light and an RGB camera to identify and avoid obstacles in its path, and a PreciSense LiDAR navigation system scans rooms to create a map and determine the most efficient route. It upgrades suction power to 10,000Pa to pick up even more dust and dirt, a Carpet+ Boost System ups the hair pick-up rate by 30%, and the mopping system scrubs floors 4,000 times per second, detecting carpets and rugs along the way. With built-in voice assistance, users can start cleaning with a simple command, and when the job is done, the vacuum will retreat to its dock to automatically empty, wash, dry, and recharge itself. The S8 MaxV Ultra will be available April 22, 2024, and for a limited time, get a triple gift pack valued at $1,000 with your purchase.

VR has been around since the 1980s, but the tech required for legitimate mainstream use hasn't. Oculus brought the dream of VR to the masses with their 2012 Kickstarter campaign, followed by two development headsets before the official release of the Rift in 2016. But what if the Rift had been developed using 80s tech? Squirrel Monkey looks at what 80s VR might have been like with a vintage installation video from the 8-bit age — and all the batteries, PC peripherals, and vector graphics you could dream of.

Cemeteries weren't always drab places that were scary at night. For most of human history, the dead weren't necessarily buried, and the places where they were laid to rest were often sites of celebration. TED looks at the history of getting rid of all the bodies, and how it's changed over the millennia.
In 1970, President Richard Milhouse Nixon invited Johnny Cash to perform at the White House. Nixon wanted Cash to play as a publicity attempt to reach Midwest voters in the face of social unrest and the deeply unpopular war in Vietnam. While Cash was as patriotic as you could be, his views on what it meant to love your country were changing — and caused him to take a deep look at himself and what he believed in. Part of Netflix's ReMastered series, "Track 2" looks an important moment in Cash's life on one of the biggest stages in the world.
