September 18, 1987 - Hellraiser - Movie - Released
My parents weren't interested in watching The Addams Family when it came out, because it "looked too weird" and "was probably Satanic." (See what I had to grow up with? Sigh).
The Haunting, based on a Shirley Jackson novel, has since been remade several times.
Meanwhile, Hellraiser was probably the scariest, grossest movie I had ever seen in the theater at the time. (Yes, I'm that ancient an eldergoth, I saw this in theaters).
