There's so many I could be here for hours listing them. My favorite genre is horror and growing up in the 70's and 80's I've seen my fair share.

Mondo Kane

Chainsaw ('74)
Black Christmas (The Original)
Halloween II (Yes, II)
F13th II-V (Yes, V)
The Burning
Slaughter Hotel

I see that everyone else has The Prowler on their list. It would be nice to see this movie, but Netflix has had this OOP,Discontinued,or whatever, for over 4 years now.

Friday The 13th VI: Jason Lives & Scream have always been my favorites. I also liked the Texas Chainsaw remake.

Torchur317

And what's your point?
One was a top 10 list for teen slashers from ANOTHER site....
And the other was asking if you liked the sub-genre but not exactly listing much.
They all seem to talk about the same sub-genre but they are different threads.

slasherfan

My 5 favorites in no order

Halloween II - 1981 (one of the most suspenseful slasher flicks ever made)
The Burning (has a badass killer mixed with a very fun yet eerie camp setting)
Sleepaway Camp (one of the most shocking movie endings ever, need I say more ?)
Slaughter High (its got Harry Manfredini music and some of the most awesome kills in it)
The Initiation (Happy Birthday To Me ripoff which improved on so many aspects)

I own 99% of the ones listed in this thread on DVD but have yet to watch most of them or just need to rewatch some of them which I have not seen in a good 15 years or so. Im easily pleased with a good fun slasher flick so Ill be adding quite a few favorites soon !

Shit like this is really starting to irritate the fuck out of me. Post a reply to the topic at hand, or don't. I'm getting sick of all of these thread archaeologists digging up shit to prove - what? - that someone else asked it first? Or a different way? Seriously.

Phantasm

riotinmyskull

phantasm is not a slasher film.

TheySentYou

High Tension... even though the plot was fucking idiotic and metaphysically impossible, the look, feel, and suspense are perfection

Solid Snake

Uh...I watch so little of them. I've yet to see the original Halloween, though I've seen the remake. I'm still waiting to get that 2 disc Halloween (78). Anyway...I'll say...Texas Chainsaw Massacre ('74)

kristina
