A Slasher Movie typically involves a number of teenagers being creatively killed off one-by-one by an extreme psychopath or a supernatural killer often for revenge but sometimes just for fun! Modern Slasher Movies can be fairly light hearted but still often quite shock filled and extremely gory.
Many
slasher anti-heroes are now infamous due to the popularity of the genre (and the substantial amount of sequels that slashers spawn), such as Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Michael Myers from Halloween and Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.
Alfred Hitchcok's Psycho is often cited as the original Slasher Flick and has inspired hundreds of slashers from Dementia 13, Blood Feast and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to the more recent Final Destination and Wrong Turn.

As was cu...

With the opening scene consisting of the hanging of a wheel-chaired coffin-dodger followed closely by the stabbing of the gentleman that set up the noose trap setting the scene for the longevity of most of the characters in this movie, it is a wonder that Mario Bava manages to develop any characters...

Almost everyone likes Tobe Hooper, right? I mean, this is the fucking genius that gave us The Texas Chainsaw Massacre & Poltergeist - what's not to like? Even his campy horror films like The Funhouse & Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 were pretty damn entertaining. So when I was spending a productive night...

It's nearly that time of year again when the population's jolliness levels increase dramatically and the Christmas movie selection becomes a ditch of heart-warming and emotionally touching pap.
