This has to be one of the best list I have seen. Finally someone who knows what true slasher films are. I have seen best horror films "of all time list" that list Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity as scariest movies....Really? The 70's and 80's have some of the best slasher/horror films ever B rate or not.
"I see way you took so long with the movie cover,you wanted it to end with the song,most people didn't took time to think of that nice video, I seen some of the movies but not all,I would surely love see the ones I haven't seen,and you right its your video if people don't like,they have all the time an oppurtunity to make their own"
@Cropsy25 i didn't say horror classic i said slasher classic. if you like slasher films prom night is always at the top of the list when it comes to slasher films.
Scream licks faggotts assholes. Other than that your list was pretty good. You did miss a few masterpieces, But I guess thats why its just 15 ?? You forgot Hell Night, And MADMAN!!!!!! WTF DUDE??? Madman is top 3 for sure ha ha ha ha.
@kody8smart8to8nella no i still know is a good movie i didn't like i'll always know but i know what you did last summer is the best 1 that movie is great but i still know is a really good sequel and i agree with u on scream its great i think the only reason these people r trying 2 hate on it is because its from the 90's and not loaded with nude shots but wether they like it or not it will always be considered 1 of the greatest horror films of all time
@Cropsy25 I have an odd soft spot for I'll Always Know, I realize how cheesy it is but can't find it in me to hate it... And you're absolutely right about Scream. No nudity in it made it a breath of fresh air in my opinion. It focused on what it was doing and didn't need the distraction nudity offers in slasher movies. Scream is amazing, people need to deal with it.
@kody8smart8to8nella yea its true and its ok about i'll always know i always had a thing 4 jaws 3 and pretty much every1 hates that 1 but idk i always liked it not as much as the first 2 but i still think its cool
Your list is highly suspect, all you did was named a lot of mainstream shit. You need to watch more films before proclaiming those you chose to be the top 15. I can't believe you listed Prom Night, Funhouse and especially Scream, come on man. Where was William Lustig's Maniac? Where is Nightmare aka Nightmare in a Damaged Brain
@ShantiG100 Yeah I question his placement of Scream as well, but only in the sense that it would be #2 behind Halloween. That's why it's his list and not mine or yours.
why does everyone always say halloween for number one?!?!?!?!?!!?!? i hated that movie! i dont see why people liked it! the acting was horrible! they sucked at telling the story, and dr. loomis was crayier then michael! he always was running around telling everyone that evil was coming, i would be so creaped out if some old guy walked up and said that to me the remake was soo much better!
@REKONBALL2 yea but the beauty of the original was that he was born pure evil there was no reasone 4 y he killed he was just a psycho and thats what made it scarier and u saw enough 2 know that he was a vicious killer and relied on lots of creepy atmosphere and suspense the remake was not called for and relied on lots of gore and sex and nothing more
@Cropsy25 i disagree. i thought it was waaaay scarier that his family drove him to kill, your just sitting there thinking (it must suck to have them for a family. ok any mintue now he is gonna go crazy and kill people). it builds up suspence. instead of all the sudden you kills and you like, what just happend??
@REKONBALL2 yea well your entitled 2 your opinion but i just felt like the original was more of a classic what did u think of the other remakes like friday the 13th.texas chainsaw massacre.nightmare on elm st. or prom night?
@Cropsy25 well about 60% of the time i like remakes better than the original. i thought the friday the 13th remake was horrible. it was the worst in the series, it was more of a comedy than a horror movie, and the caracters are anoying as hell. the texas chainsaw massacre remake was extremely boring. and nightmare on elm street was really good, but not as scary as the original. but honestly, i liked to new freddy better than the original. prom night remake sucked! it was only PG-13. ripoff!!
@REKONBALL2 wow lol im totally oppisite i love friday and tcm and hated the nightmare on elm st. remake but i do agree on the prom night remake PG-13 ripoff
@Cropsy25 well i liked tcm remake, but i just liked the orignial a tiny tiny bit better, i thought it was weirder than the remake. and i was soo dosapointed in the friday the 13th remake, the trailers made it looks really really good, but they wound up cutting out most of the stuff that was in the trailers. and my copy of the movie was broken, so like every other scene it would freeze and then skip like 5 mintues of the movie. so technically i havent seen the whole movie.
@REKONBALL2 i do think they didnt do that good of a job on remaking it because it was more like a sequel but i think it made a classic friday the 13th jason style slasher movie
great list mine are 1.scream 2.halloween 1978 3.i know what you did last summer 4.a nightmare on elm st. 1984 5.friday the 13th 6.prom night 1980 7.texas chainsaw massacre 8.silent night deadly night 9.happy birthday to me 10.he knows your alone 11.the burning 12.sleepaway camp 13.my bloody valentine 1981 14.the prowler 15.candyman
@MrFonkster how can u say that scream kills those movies maniac isn't even considered a good film and mutilator was completely forgotten and look where scream is. your entitled 2 your opinion but i wouldn't compare them 2 that movie
@Cropsy25 Aren´t you supposed to be a fan of "The Burning", according to your screen name? So why do you support Scream instead of "The Burning"? And honestly in my humble opinion Scream is a comedy rather than a horror movie...
@Jafaviti so what your saying is that once your screen name has something to do with a particular movie u cant like any other movie? all im saying is scream is a movie that changed the face of horror in the 90's the horror/slasher genre was dead and scream brought life back 2 horror and it had a good sense of humor which made it even better so it may not have been your particular taste but dont act like its a bad film
@Cropsy25 Of course not, I was just wondering why haven´t you said anything about "The Burning", do you actually like it? Or why your screen name? I agree that Scream brought horror movies back to the scene, but that doesn´t make it a good movie, all I'm saying is that in my opinion a good horror movie is the one that is pure horror not a mix of horror and comedy (e.g. the original Halloween)
@Jafaviti i think the burning is a great slasher film i just think scream is a movie that latly has been taking some heat and i think some people need to show more respect for it its become one of the higher rated horror films for good reasones but thank you for respecting my opinion i respect the fact that u have a certain taste i just think when someone doesn't like something they should say how they feel about it but not act like the movie is pure trash thats all
I agree with most of your list and I have all on either DvD or VHS yet. I thought "The Prowler" should've been top 5 easily, way too good of a movie. And there are 2, maybe 3 movies you left out or could switch around. "Pieces"..cult classic, gory kills..."Intruder", the unrated kill scenes are awesome for a mid 80's slasher. And if you want a under-rated, hard to find slasher flick..."Hide and Go Shriek" was decent. Good list overall though.
This is an AWESOME list! I would've put most of them in the same order, too. These are essential viewing, for any slasher fan. Every slasher fan has to see and/or own all of these.
Also, I'd like to know what other slashers you personally like, that did not make it on this list. Thanks!
Dude....I'm happy you spent a few minutes on each picture!! That way I could study the poster and didn't have to keep pausing!! Thank You!! Stellar Post and fantastic choices!! You Rock!!

@rmattis100 i got your comment in my inbox but i think u were smart and removed it. first of all u know jack shit about horror movies compared 2 me and if u knew anything about horror movies u would know that i know what you did last summer is a great movie nice try though smartass. if you are such a big horror fan then your username would have to do with that and not that rmattis100 shit.
@Cropsy25 I was wondering where you got your degree from, since you know soooo much more about horror movies than I do. I got my Master's at NYU and did my thesis on on the slasher paradigm (actually, I juxtaposed the slasher paradigm with socio-political morays of the Regan era). Do you favor John Kenneth Muir's model of the organizing principle of slasher films, or L. Daniel Thomspon's? I'd love to hear your opinions since you know more than me. Thanks!
@rmattis100 Ii know what you did last summer was a book that was published in 1973 and made in2 a movie in 1997 house on sorority row came out in 1983 so maybe their opinion was not based on chronological order. Also, it looks like you are not as secure as you think since you felt compelled to parade your thesis topic for all of us insecure horror fans. I truly am a horror fan and healthy debate is encouraged, but why is it necessary to insult us "average-minded" fans??
@Cropsy25 Went to the Cinema Wasteland convention in Cleveland last weekend and got a chance to meet/talk with Tom Savini... I asked him a few questions (I won't bore you with all of them), but Mr. Savini mentioned that he was more satisfied and proud of the effects he did in The Burning than Friday the 13th... Just thought this would be of some interest to you. :)
@rmattis100 the effects in the burning were really good they show a little more of the deaths in that movie the death scenes were quiker in friday the 13th but i have 2 say i like friday the 13th better
@Cropsy25 OMG! Something we agree on (lol). I dig Friday the 13th's effects a little more, too. I agree that The Burning shows more gore, but I have a soft spot for good, ol' Mr. Vorhees.
@rmattis100 lol yea jason is probably my favorite movie villain i love michael myers and freddy 2 but somthing about the mask and the 80's look i just love i liked the new friday the 13th 2 but the originals r the best
@Cropsy25 Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, I do loooooove horror films. Thankfully, I'm secure enough to not feel the need to parade my admiration for them via a silly username, like Vorhees666, Myers420, Marz123, or Cropsy--err--you get my point. BTW, how do you feel about most experts of horror (i.e., Fangoria Magazine, Psychotronic, etc.) claiming that I Know What You Did Last Summer was rip-off of House On Sorority Row?
Here ya go Irsteelers: How about a list of famous mainstream actors that got their start in a slasher movie? I have Jamie Lee Curtis, Corey Feldman, Crispin Glover, Darryl Hannah, Kevin Bacon, Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter, Fisher Stevens, George Clooney, and Daphne Zuniga. If anyone wonders what films these folks are attached to, just ask me.... I will be happy to answer.
@mouthybitch88 Sad news... I missed your show in April. Any chance you'll be performing in May. And what do I need to do for an official mouthybitch88 autograph? :)
@rmattis100 no sorry thats my tour finished up until the winter i dont do comedy during summer cos i have another job u see on my uncles farm were i have lots of duties like cleaning the shit out of the cuckoo clocks and taking the blind chickens for a shit, anyway u can get a autograph by sending away to official mouthybitch fan club it wil cost u £100 plus another 100 for postage and packaging isnt that a great deal?
@mouthybitch88 Sounds like an amazing deal! Unfortunately, I'd have to get another job to afford that... Erotic Dancing at the Home For the Blind just isn't cutting it.
House of Wax, the butcher *2006*, Sleep away camp 1, 2 and 3, Wrong turn 1 and 2 *gory stuff but good*, the texas chainsaw massacre *Original and the current newish one* *The original has some crazy parts*, Slumber party Massacre *Series*
Just some off the top of my head, there are a ton out there though, tried to keep it to strictly teenage style age though for the victims, but yea there are so many slasher films out there it's amazing.
The whole friday the 13th series for the most part is pretty good when it comes to a teenagers camping slasher movie, well jason does move onto newyork, space ect.. but before that he spends a ton of time at camp, hehe.
@STCFCFYC1 Try "The Initiation", a little known gem from the eighties. For more modern slasher/horror, check out Tobe Hooper's remake of "The Toolbox Murders." Be warned: it takes place in an apartment and NOT a campsite or similar setting. It also contains no nudity/sex, just in case you're expecting it. :)
With a name like Cropsy how could you think such things? Modern horror films for the most part are atrocious. And isn't Fun House more of a monster movie?
well i know what you did last summer really isn't modern any more its a 14 year old movie and i love the 80's slashers but the 90's had great ones 2 like scream i know what you did last summer candyman and yea i do think fun house is more of a monster movie
@Cropsy25 If you truly believe "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was the best slasher movies, then why is your screen name "Cropsy" (the killer from "The Burning)? Wouldn't "FishermanWithAHook" be more appropriate? I think I know the answer to this... You're a liar trying to start a little argument amongst horror enthusiasts. Nice try, though. Next time, don't be so obvious.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
People really suck on the Halloweens (movie) cock. Seriously there were tons of movies better than that shit! NOES: 2 was better than the first. These are one those paying respects crap that the old fucks do all the time when it comes to favorites topics! Fucking Childs Play was better than Halloween
Most other people are posting top slasher lists with just Scream, Candyman, Hellraiser (? not a slasher!), Saw, Freddy vs. Jason, Silence of the Lambs, etc...movies that haven't scraped the barrel of slashers done right. Good films, yes, but when talking about slashers, your list is what truly matters. Thank you! :)
well yeah you see them now and you laugh at most of them . But the thing is that, halloween for example, was the one that started the slasher genre. In it's time it was really scary and even i wasn't scared when i watched it, i see why many consider it a great horror movie. Obviously now, we are used to another type of horror
@AlvMar0122 Well said... I realize Halloween is slow paced, but I actually think that's what makes it effective. It emphasized mood & atmosphere over quick-pacing and gore. I think with today's push for style over substance, it's no suprise why people find it boring.

no i know what you did last summer kicks ass and it had a great story it was a hit at the box office being 1 of the highest grossing films of 1997 not many horror films made as much mony as it did its been made fun of many times but its still 1 of the most popular horror films around
it has one of the most generic story lines ive ever heard. the amount of money it made means nothing and neither does popularity. most horror movies after the early 90s suck anyway..
it is true that a lot of horror movies sucked after that time but scream and i know what you did last summer stand out im not saying that money and popularity r what counts im just saying i think it was a great movie i just thought the fisherman guy was really cool and stuff plus it was 1 of the first horror movies i ever saw so its kinda special 2 me
no i actually hated the halloween remake but i do think i know what you did last summer is a top-notch film and phantasm is not a slasher film and maniac is a sick piece of trash not a slasher movie obviously u dont know slasher films
well, really I do like I know what you did last Summer, but Maniac is not rubbish. I put Phantasm because I like that movie so much that I put it in there. I know it's not a slasher, but I hold the movie so close to me because it was one of the first horror movies I watched when I was little. I am biased so what?
Well, because you think the old classics are bad. Nowadays in the horror community, people hate the oldies and love the bad remakes like Halloween. I'd say that it's a whopping 86% that loves the Halloween remake and other bad movies and remakes. Me and you are in the 14% class, who try to hold onto the classics. Sorry. BTW which Black Christmas were you talking about. the original or the remake?
no its ok im sry 2 i understand what your saying i 4got i made a comment about black christmas i was tawlking about the old 1 but i dont normally make fun of the old movies i do that just 2 c what ppl say lol but black xmas is not 1 of my favorites but it is still a classic so sry about that and im with u on the remake thing some of them r good but now they r going way 2 far theres no plot 2 them anymore
It's good man. I mean, I hate the original House On Haunted Hill, and I like the remake. It's okay if you don't like the original Black Christmas. And you're right, the remakes are getting ridiculous. They are not putting anything into them. They just want to put in hot women and a shitload of fake blood to give us what they think is worth the 13 bucks we pay to watch them. And now they are running out of American Classics so they are going foreign, taking their classics. It's disgusting.
yea but the original black xmas is way better than the remake lol but i think the texas chainsaw remake was great i know alot of ppl dont like it but i thought it was just as good as the original and the hills have eyes remake was really good 2 i thought and i think the new fri 13 made a good jason movie but a bad remake it was really just another sequel not as good as the originals though but most of them just suck
I know, the Original Black Christmas is the best. I don't know why it was remade in the first place. Oh, and I like the Hills Have eyes remake. I also liked the Friday the 13 remake. I agree that it is a good addition to the series but remake-wise it was so-so. but I was glad that they brought back fast jason. Most people argued that he never ran. In Friday the 13 part 2, he ran. They forget that movie. And after Friday the 13 part 5 they all suck ass.
u just cant handle the fact that i like them more than u stupid hoe go back 2 watching the grudge and i do like friday 5 i just didn't love it as much as the others and u your self menchond like 10 different movies that u liked b4 friday the 13th there in my number ones fool
Thank you for putting Scream in there! Most people forget it... And its a great movie. :)

@Cropsy25 Aren´t you supposed to be a fan of "The Burning", according to your screen name? So why do you support Scream instead of "The Burning"? And honestly in my humble opinion Scream is a comedy rather than a horror movie...
Jafaviti 1 year ago
@Jafaviti so what your saying is that once your screen name has something to do with a particular movie u cant like any other movie? all im saying is scream is a movie that changed the face of horror in the 90's the horror/slasher genre was dead and scream brought life back 2 horror and it had a good sense of humor which made it even better so it may not have been your particular taste but dont act like its a bad film
Cropsy25 1 year ago
@Cropsy25 Of course not, I was just wondering why haven´t you said anything about "The Burning", do you actually like it? Or why your screen name? I agree that Scream brought horror movies back to the scene, but that doesn´t make it a good movie, all I'm saying is that in my opinion a good horror movie is the one that is pure horror not a mix of horror and comedy (e.g. the original Halloween)
but again that's my opinion I respect yours
Jafaviti 1 year ago
@Jafaviti i think the burning is a great slasher film i just think scream is a movie that latly has been taking some heat and i think some people need to show more respect for it its become one of the higher rated horror films for good reasones but thank you for respecting my opinion i respect the fact that u have a certain taste i just think when someone doesn't like something they should say how they feel about it but not act like the movie is pure trash thats all

I agree with most of your list and I have all on either DvD or VHS yet. I thought "The Prowler" should've been top 5 easily, way too good of a movie. And there are 2, maybe 3 movies you left out or could switch around. "Pieces"..cult classic, gory kills..."Intruder", the unrated kill scenes are awesome for a mid 80's slasher. And if you want a under-rated, hard to find slasher flick..."Hide and Go Shriek" was decent. Good list overall though.

@Cropsy25 I was wondering where you got your degree from, since you know soooo much more about horror movies than I do. I got my Master's at NYU and did my thesis on on the slasher paradigm (actually, I juxtaposed the slasher paradigm with socio-political morays of the Regan era). Do you favor John Kenneth Muir's model of the organizing principle of slasher films, or L. Daniel Thomspon's? I'd love to hear your opinions since you know more than me. Thanks!
rmattis100 1 year ago
@rmattis100 Ii know what you did last summer was a book that was published in 1973 and made in2 a movie in 1997 house on sorority row came out in 1983 so maybe their opinion was not based on chronological order. Also, it looks like you are not as secure as you think since you felt compelled to parade your thesis topic for all of us insecure horror fans. I truly am a horror fan and healthy debate is encouraged, but why is it necessary to insult us "average-minded" fans??

@Cropsy25 Went to the Cinema Wasteland convention in Cleveland last weekend and got a chance to meet/talk with Tom Savini... I asked him a few questions (I won't bore you with all of them), but Mr. Savini mentioned that he was more satisfied and proud of the effects he did in The Burning than Friday the 13th... Just thought this would be of some interest to you. :)
rmattis100 1 year ago
@rmattis100 the effects in the burning were really good they show a little more of the deaths in that movie the death scenes were quiker in friday the 13th but i have 2 say i like friday the 13th better
Cropsy25 1 year ago
@Cropsy25 OMG! Something we agree on (lol). I dig Friday the 13th's effects a little more, too. I agree that The Burning shows more gore, but I have a soft spot for good, ol' Mr. Vorhees.

Cropsy25 1 year ago
@Cropsy25 Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, I do loooooove horror films. Thankfully, I'm secure enough to not feel the need to parade my admiration for them via a silly username, like Vorhees666, Myers420, Marz123, or Cropsy--err--you get my point. BTW, how do you feel about most experts of horror (i.e., Fangoria Magazine, Psychotronic, etc.) claiming that I Know What You Did Last Summer was rip-off of House On Sorority Row?
rmattis100 1 year ago
Here ya go Irsteelers: How about a list of famous mainstream actors that got their start in a slasher movie? I have Jamie Lee Curtis, Corey Feldman, Crispin Glover, Darryl Hannah, Kevin Bacon, Jason Alexander, Holly Hunter, Fisher Stevens, George Clooney, and Daphne Zuniga. If anyone wonders what films these folks are attached to, just ask me.... I will be happy to answer.

House of Wax, the butcher *2006*, Sleep away camp 1, 2 and 3, Wrong turn 1 and 2 *gory stuff but good*, the texas chainsaw massacre *Original and the current newish one* *The original has some crazy parts*, Slumber party Massacre *Series*
Just some off the top of my head, there are a ton out there though, tried to keep it to strictly teenage style age though for the victims, but yea there are so many slasher films out there it's amazing.

@STCFCFYC1 Try "The Initiation", a little known gem from the eighties. For more modern slasher/horror, check out Tobe Hooper's remake of "The Toolbox Murders." Be warned: it takes place in an apartment and NOT a campsite or similar setting. It also contains no nudity/sex, just in case you're expecting it. :)

@Cropsy25 If you truly believe "I Know What You Did Last Summer" was the best slasher movies, then why is your screen name "Cropsy" (the killer from "The Burning)? Wouldn't "FishermanWithAHook" be more appropriate? I think I know the answer to this... You're a liar trying to start a little argument amongst horror enthusiasts. Nice try, though. Next time, don't be so obvious.

AlvMar0122 2 years ago
@AlvMar0122 Well said... I realize Halloween is slow paced, but I actually think that's what makes it effective. It emphasized mood & atmosphere over quick-pacing and gore. I think with today's push for style over substance, it's no suprise why people find it boring.

no i know what you did last summer kicks ass and it had a great story it was a hit at the box office being 1 of the highest grossing films of 1997 not many horror films made as much mony as it did its been made fun of many times but its still 1 of the most popular horror films around
Cropsy25 2 years ago
it has one of the most generic story lines ive ever heard. the amount of money it made means nothing and neither does popularity. most horror movies after the early 90s suck anyway..
dethronethesonofgod 2 years ago
it is true that a lot of horror movies sucked after that time but scream and i know what you did last summer stand out im not saying that money and popularity r what counts im just saying i think it was a great movie i just thought the fisherman guy was really cool and stuff plus it was 1 of the first horror movies i ever saw so its kinda special 2 me
Cropsy25 2 years ago
I suppose you think the Halloween remake was a top-notch film? You obviously have no taste in movies.
Whackadoo1 2 years ago
no i actually hated the halloween remake but i do think i know what you did last summer is a top-notch film and phantasm is not a slasher film and maniac is a sick piece of trash not a slasher movie obviously u dont know slasher films
Cropsy25 2 years ago
well, really I do like I know what you did last Summer, but Maniac is not rubbish. I put Phantasm because I like that movie so much that I put it in there. I know it's not a slasher, but I hold the movie so close to me because it was one of the first horror movies I watched when I was little. I am biased so what?
Whackadoo1 2 years ago
well y did u flip out on me and tell me i had no taste and that i must love the halloween remake?
Cropsy25 2 years ago
Well, because you think the old classics are bad. Nowadays in the horror community, people hate the oldies and love the bad remakes like Halloween. I'd say that it's a whopping 86% that loves the Halloween remake and other bad movies and remakes. Me and you are in the 14% class, who try to hold onto the classics. Sorry. BTW which Black Christmas were you talking about. the original or the remake?
Whackadoo1 2 years ago
no its ok im sry 2 i understand what your saying i 4got i made a comment about black christmas i was tawlking about the old 1 but i dont normally make fun of the old movies i do that just 2 c what ppl say lol but black xmas is not 1 of my favorites but it is still a classic so sry about that and im with u on the remake thing some of them r good but now they r going way 2 far theres no plot 2 them anymore
Cropsy25 2 years ago
It's good man. I mean, I hate the original House On Haunted Hill, and I like the remake. It's okay if you don't like the original Black Christmas. And you're right, the remakes are getting ridiculous. They are not putting anything into them. They just want to put in hot women and a shitload of fake blood to give us what they think is worth the 13 bucks we pay to watch them. And now they are running out of American Classics so they are going foreign, taking their classics. It's disgusting.
Whackadoo1 2 years ago
yea but the original black xmas is way better than the remake lol but i think the texas chainsaw remake was great i know alot of ppl dont like it but i thought it was just as good as the original and the hills have eyes remake was really good 2 i thought and i think the new fri 13 made a good jason movie but a bad remake it was really just another sequel not as good as the originals though but most of them just suck
Cropsy25 2 years ago
I know, the Original Black Christmas is the best. I don't know why it was remade in the first place. Oh, and I like the Hills Have eyes remake. I also liked the Friday the 13 remake. I agree that it is a good addition to the series but remake-wise it was so-so. but I was glad that they brought back fast jason. Most people argued that he never ran. In Friday the 13 part 2, he ran. They forget that movie. And after Friday the 13 part 5 they all suck ass.
