What are some essential slasher flicks? Maybe some more obscure titles? Pic very much related.
Greatest tweest in horror history
>>69320577
that's not Sleepaway Camp
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
Black Christmas
Maniac
Sleepaway Camp
The Burning
>>69320605
Sleepaway Camp has a good tweeest and then capitalized on going camp in the sequels. April Fool's Day and especially Happy Birthday To Me really started the 80's slasher era twist ending.
>>69320605
top 5, April Fools day is literally the #1.
Also to you and to OP, I know it's cliché but if you go into the original Friday the 13th with absolutely no knowledge of it at all, you'll be very impressed, the twist in the OG F13 is fantastic.
>>69320483
also Blood and Black Lace
I actually enjoyed this
>>69320713
all these, all fantastic.
Texas Chainsaw set the bar and is still very suspenseful, Black Christmas has one of the greatest plots in horror history, Maniac is influential as fuck for stylish violence, Sleepaway Camp goes without saying and the boat scene in The Burning is the GOAT

THIS
So glad it's fucking finally getting some recognition, such an intense movie. Have you seen Hush? It's on Netflix and is a good little home invasion flick.
Happy Birthday to Me and Terror Train are somewhat obscure slashers worth a watch if you like the genre.
>>69320994
TCM not only set the bar, it's not particularly graphic or violent, just suggestive.
If you want something so camp it's nauseating check out Dead Tone and Drive Thru
>>69321054
Terror Train - the first time I ever saw titties televised.
>based HBO
>based early 80s general

These two, Curtains, Black Christmas... Canada has produced some slasher classics.
Laid to Rest is pretty silly but fun. Its sequel is even more absurd.
Man, I miss SlasherTV.
>>69321210
Not really a traditional slasher. A classic film, nonetheless.
>>69321168
>modern day Giallo
hnghhhhhhh is this good
Fucking Hellraiser
>>69321267
It plays out like a dream
>>69321210
Yes! And Opera, too.
>>69320483
Well I'll also put down the friday the 13th series and nightmare on elm street if you haven't already seen them.
Some more obscure stuff maybe silent night deadly night (good Christmas film).
Madman (1981) was a pretty good unheard movie. scarecrows (1988) is pretty cool and interesting too.
>>69321272
I love the first two Hellraiser movies. Why are there so many damn shitty sequels?
>>69320969
>DUDE PLOTARMOR LMAO
Alice, Sweet Alice
My Bloody Valentine
Basketcase
Town That Dreaded Sundown
All relatively obscure
Here's a few I haven't seen mentioned yet.
Christmas Evil
Don't Go in the House
New Year's Evil
Skinner
Dr. Giggles
Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2
Pieces
The Driller Killer
The New York Ripper
OP here, thanks so much for the response. Slasher flicks were something I totally missed out on as a kid, and I really dig what I've seen so far. I want to become a sort of expert on the genre.
>>69322085
Good ol' Dr. Giggles.
>>69322176
You are a gay
>>69322410
How did you know?
>>69322176
I didn't see many when I was growing up, but I was always fascinated by their boxes in the video store. When I got into my teens I started catching up. Most slashers aren't great film, but they can be a lot of fun.
>>69322433
Smell.
>>69322723
Absolute pure horror kino

>>69321781
>Alice, Sweet Alice
>Basketcase
Great choices, anon. Love both of these. TTTDS is not bad either and really worth a watch for the jarringly bizarre tonal shifts.
>>69322922
Haven't seen the remake of Black Christmas; I meant the original.
>>69322852
>Halloween IV
>not Halloween III
top pleb
>>69323082
Halloween III isn't a slasher though.
>>69323133
Yeah thats true
>>69322085
I like the brutality and insanity of Pieces
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane
Amber Heard starts in it
This is one of my favorites that I would recommend.
