7 Best Slasher Movies Of All Time

In all horror genres, nothing has been quite as enigmatic as the slasher horror films. They were seemingly everywhere in the 80’s, only to disappear as quickly as they had surfaced. Let’s take a look at some of the best slasher horror movies of all time. What better time than now, with Halloween coming up?

Scream

While this movie released when people didn’t care about slasher movies anymore, it was one of the better ones. It had something previous slasher movies didn’t have: main characters that were more interesting than the bad guy. This is also why this is probably the only slasher series where the sequels didn’t absolutely suck.

Hellraiser

In terms of tearing/slashing people apart, I doubt many movies got more creative than the Hellraiser series. The first one is a classic that everyone should watch and they’re probably decent up until the third or fourth movie. There’s been almost a dozen though, so a lot of movies to avoid.

Friday the 13th

One of the best known slasher series, this movie starts off by telling the story of Jason Voorhees, who was bullied at camp so badly that his trauma led him to live with his mother and murder everyone that goes to camp. Makes sense, until he returns from the dead in the third movie and gets revived in space in the tenth.
