"Scream" and "Scary Movie" lead the pack.

I'm not a fan, but to me they are interesting from a sociological point of view. The killer is often a masked assailant who cuts down the promiscuous and debauched while hunting but failing to kill the virginal main character. This has historical precident with some of the Mummers of Guysers dramas with the Unicorn and certain demons. More recently though they are moralistic date movies for young couples and they deal with penetration angst.

Stop giving me interesting topics to talk about I'm trying to watch The Shining goddammit!

I remember one person stating that we have to stop giving young men erections immediately followed by bloody murder.

Nobody listened.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Henry Lee Lucas was far more warped than the movie made him out to be.

I thought that it turned out Henry Lee Lucas and his partner Otis were more or less mentally enfeebled dupes that the cops used to clear up as many murder and missing person cases as they could?

Anyway I'd say Henry wasn't a slasher flick, since it has nothing in common with the genre other than that there are murders in it.

I prefer my gore Japanese. They do it so much better than merkins
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

The genre irritates me. The characters are always doing retarded shit.. like in the original Saw when the girl puts her hand in that razor blade trap thing. Instead of loosening the blades off her wrist with the other hand she sticks it in the other hole. All these movies are filled with WTF moments like that that just annoy me too much.
