Horror film month marches on and we’re having a look at one of essentially the most terrifying flavors of scary film, the slasher flick! From their origins within the early days of cinema, via the event of the all-important “rules” and past, how have slasher motion pictures advanced across the globe?

Slasher is probably the hardest genre to get right. But the kills are always the best part.
Really? No Peeping Tom? Not a single sentence given to a far less known and arguably more compelling film that came out the same year, but several months before Psycho…
Great video!
Black Christmas not being considered a full slasher just feels wrong.
No Terrifier? It’s the modern day GOAT
I’m surprised that 1979’s “Alien” didn’t get a mention, as it was originally Ridley Scott’s “slasher in space”, and spawned its own well known franchise, obviously.
James Cameron took it and mashed it with Apocalypse Now in 1986’s “Aliens.”
Wish a fighting game with all the iconic slashers would get made
And they could all have unique fatalities
Not a weak low budget thing like Terrordome or something.
Something by Netherrealm.
And with a cool story mode
Slasher movies don't get made much anymore do they?
They should.
Terrifier deserves to be on this list
wait where is Jigsaw?
CineFix is till alive!!
Wanna know something crazy we still haven’t gotten a new Friday the 13th but if we do get a new one it would be the 13th movie to dawn the title of “Friday day the 13th” we currently sit at 12 movies with the last movie being the reboot in 2009
Slashers often hit their slumps, but they always come back with a vengeance.

The killer is always the pizza delivery guy
IGN rates it 8/10
Sleepaway Camp is one of the best slasher movies ever made!
Very impressive!
Amazing
