I figured it was appropriate to save my next horror sub-genre for Halloween. After all, one of the best-loved Slasher Movies is named after the holiday. And this is the category that probably first leaps to mind when you think of big-screen horror.
Slasher films have given us some of the most enduring villains in film history: Norman Bates, Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Ghostface. They usually prey on the young and the sexually active, before being bested (at least temporarily) by a virginal “final girl.” They might not win, but they never seem to die.
