The 1980s were a phenomenal time for fantasy films. The back-to-back historical cultural juggernauts of Star Wars Episode IV - A New Hope and Superman: The Movie, and the growing popularity of Dungeons & Dragons, showed that audiences were willing to support more fantastical stories. Unlike many fantasy films of the past, which were more focused on adventure and heroics, 1980s fantasy tended to be darker, with grittier deaths, melancholic and complicated themes, and characters that shook up the idea of the classical hero.
