Yes, you were not mistaken. Although in Soviet cinema such genre as horror, as it were not officially, some films can be safely attributed to him. And this applies not only to the films of perestroika. Some of them were shot in the same "stagnant years".
This, of course, is not classically horror, to which we are accustomed to Hollywood movies. They were mostly based on literary works. But for the Soviet spectator they were very scary
The first film, which can be called a Soviet horror film - is a screen version of Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol. You, I think, perfectly understand what kind of film is in question - "Viy" with Natalya Varley as Panochka and Leonid Kuravlyov as Khoma Brut
Another horror film appeared in 1979. "Wild Hunt of the King of the Stakh" Valery Rubinchik. He even has a slogan suitable - "The chilling horror of the living legends ..."
It is also based on a literary work - the story of the same name by the Belarusian writer Vladimir Korotkevich
In 1985, Sulambek Mamilov shoots another film, suitable for our topic - "Day of Wrath", about animal-like creatures with human intellect, which appeared as a result of the experiment. And here there was a literary basis - the story of the same name by the Soviet science fiction writer S. Hansovsky
And in 1988, based on the story of Alexander Green's "Gray Car" Oleg Teptsov shoots the film "Mr. Designer"
And in 1990 and 1991, two films are released immediately based on the works of A. Tolstoy - "The Family of Ghouls", based on the story "Family of the Ghoul", and "Drinking Blood", based on the story "Ghoul"
