Ultimate Favorite 80s B-rated horror movie would have to be Dead Alive. I love practicle effects and this movie has bucket loads! On that note Pumpkinhead (really just the first one) has to be a close 2 for practical effects. That puppet was around 8 foot tall and had a person phsyicaly opperating it from inside! Another good one is American werewolf in london. Having the wolf be phsyical really sent the horror home! lets not forget the transformation scene! It has yet to be topped!
