I really liked Trick or Treat to. The Wraith and Fright Night were pretty good 80s movies. Neither was really a slasher movie though.

Halloween was released in 1978, and it's first sequel was released in 1981.

My favorite 80s slasher flicks were Friday the 13th Part III (1982) throughout Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason takes Manhattan (1989) I also really enjoyed some of those late 1990s - early 2000s slasher films, SCREAM trilogy, I liked. (Uhm, SCREAM 3 sucked though kind of) I really liked Freddy Vs. Jason, but I agree that Jason X was ridiculous. I mean crossing Science fiction with a modern day slasher icon like Jason is just pushing it.

The Halloween franchise was a franchise I rarely seen when I was growing up, and the first Halloween film I ever watched was Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) and that movie just freaked me out! I was 12 at the time...

I Sometimes do ... or often talk about franchise horror when I'm dealing with slasher films.

Friday the 13th: Either Part VI: Jason Lives or the 2009 Reboot or Freddy Vs. Jason.

A Nightmare On Elm Street: The first one (1984 - Loved Johnny Depp's Death, brootal), and 3: Dream Warriors. (1987)

Halloween: Either Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers or Rob Zombie's Halloween and Rob Zombie's Halloween II (1988, 2007 & 2009)

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Either Number Two (1986) or the 2003 Reboot.

SAW: (Although not a typical slasher film; still Franchise) I'd say SAW I (2004) or SAW VI (2009 - Although it was the lowest grossing movie of the franchise with a little over $62 million in ticket box sales)

I was going to post in this thread, with a smartass remark. But after seeing that this thread has been recovered from the vault of old threads, I really feel no need in posting anything further, with the exception that my list of favorite slasher films is a bit different. I've gained love for other slashers, and changed my mind about others that I liked a few years ago.

This thread pretty much sums up most of the good slashers.
